Feelings are those warm and fuzzy sensations that run through your body when you do something, nice that’s registered as pleasurable by your brain and gives you these elevated sensations.
They are also that heavy burden that can wear on the mind and body when they come from disappointing and negative experiences that can cause real damage if left unchecked. Can’t have one without the other.
Because of the potentially destructive influence they can have over us, learning to properly manage and temper feelings is paramount for achieving a good, healthy life. It is a skill that’s easy to observe but not many people truly possess. Don’t be one of the masses, learn to properly handle every emotion that you go through by reading these books on feelings

Most of us don’t realize how fearful we are and, even when we do recognize what holds us back from happiness and success, we don’t know how to overcome our fears to move forward. Jeffers explains that we shouldn’t be afraid of fear, that it’s natural and has a purpose, but that too much fear can prevent us from living life to its fullest. I encourage my therapy clients with anxiety to read this book and all have been helped by it, especially in understanding that fear doesn’t have to rule their lives.

This is a great book used to empower youth. Project Harmony uses it when speaking with students and introducing our Loud as a Lion poster. We want all children to feel safe and protected, giving them the courage to use their voice. In addition to having people who children can trust, they have to learn to trust themselves. It may sound funny, but learning to listen and pay attention to their feelings is an important skill. When something makes you happy or when something good happens – celebrate, and tell the people you love. When something bad happens, tell the people you trust and they will help you. They can make the bad things stop.

#17 The Language of Emotions by Karla McLaren
 |
Get this book or read more reviews of it by using the links below |
Feelings are the identification of an emotion, a conscious awareness of an emotion, but all too often people are able to identify the feeling (I am bored, resentful, agitated, worried, despair, hopeful, playful, or blissful ) but they are not able to identify the emotion that is underneath the feeling and certainly not the information the emotion is trying to convey to us.
This may not be such a big deal when blissful or hopeful are the feelings being experienced, but resentful, worried and despair belongs to bigger and potentially bolder emotions that can be expressed negatively. Feelings and Emotions go hand in hand and it is vital for us to recognize our feelings so we are then capable of identifying the emotion that is activating the feelings we are experiencing.
