10: How to Feel

Most of us view our own emotions negatively - like they're inconvenient, embarrassing, they're unnecessary, they get in the way, or they're feminine and silly. And for others, because they haven't been in the practice of feeling their emotions, the emotions can be scary or unpredictable.But emotions can be useful tools because they give us clues to what's happening around us and what we're really thinking. Additionally, they're part of being human - and there's no escaping having them.More often than we realize, emotions are what drive our decisions - even for the most logical among us. So, getting in touch with what we're feeling and why can lead to a really profound awareness about why we do what we do - especially when it comes to being able to keep commitments to ourselves, procrastinating, or getting our shiz together.In this episode, learn the steps to become emotionally intelligent so that you can become aware of your emotions, and have better control over them, and therefore your life.Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/10 Hey!
