Exploring Feelings
By Michael Schwarz, LPC
When we are able to recognize the physiological and thought patterns associated with our feelings, it increases our ability to respond in a compassionate and mindful way to those experiences. Initially identifying and understanding how our minds, bodies, and emotions interact can help us feel more connected, alive, and in tune with our true self. This activity is intended to help you recognize the interrelated nature of these experiences and to work towards responding in a more caring and empowered way, regardless of what emotions or feelings are.
