Identify Emotions

Emotional – Activity: Identify Emotions

Emotions in the Body

Recognize the physical indicators of emotion. Signs of anger can include: headaches, a clenched jaw, flushed face, tense shoulders, fast pulse or racing heart, fast and shallow breathing. Some of these can also indicate stress, fear, or in some cases attraction. Recent research has created body maps showing where and how emotions are felt. See what they have discovered at this NPR article. See the Emotions Sensations Wheel at lindsaybraman.com.

This week, I will print a feelings chart and mood diary, and each evening note what I’ve been feeling during  the day.
