#1: Defining "Emotion"

Join Mary as she kicks off the 3rd Season of Living Fully Alive podcast! We are going to spend Season 3 talking about emotions. There are A LOT of emotions right now. All you have to do is hop on social media and you will see that so many of us are feeling heavy emotions, and often those emotions are coming out sideways. Maybe you aren't using social media or other public platforms to let your emotions out, maybe you are stuffing your emotions. Maybe you are using food, alcohol, busyness, or other distractions to avoid feeling your feelings. When we disassociate from our feelings we aren't living a life that is truly fully alive. We need to befriend our emotions in order to process them in a healthy way. When we are afraid of our emotions and our feelings we can't get below the surface to deal with what is really going on. Maybe that fear comes from not understanding what emotions really are or where they come from. On this first episode of this 8 part series we will set the foundation of what's to come by talking about the anatomy of emotions and breaking down what they actually are.   ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS… - What's coming in Season 3 - Why we fear our emotions  - The 4 part definition of "emotion" - The science of emotions - What happens in your physical body when you feel emotions - How emotions are records of the past - Why emotions are important feedback for our lives  - Giving yourself permission to not be defined by your emotions  - And more!    — SEASON 3: In this 8 part series, we will be talking about you have to "Feel To Heal" in order to Live Fully Alive   ---   Text Me: https://maryhyatt.com/text Follow Me On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maryghyatt/  Full List of Episodes & Show Notes: https://www.maryhyatt.com/show Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/maryhyatt
