The Idea of the Week
We tend to be asked the question, “How are you?”, a lot. Sometimes, even multiple times a day. Yet, how often to we answer with a quick, “good” or “fine” no matter what we are really feeling. Although this is understandable in our fast paced days and there is nothing wrong with this answer, the bigger question is…. if you were to give a true, honest answer, could you? Are you able to name how you are feeling?
Why Labeling Emotions Matters is a great article for some background. A great follow up would be, Tame Reactive Emotions by Naming Them, giving you some clear stategy and benefits to this practice. Lastly, Stuggling to Name How You Feel? Try Using this Feelings Wheel gives us plenty to work with as we dive into this clarity building practice.
