Episode notes
Emotional Granularity
- Use more specific language to label your internal emotions, even if only to yourself.
- This practice, called emotional granularity, improves overall mental health.
Specificity of Emotional Labels
- Broad emotional labels like "sad" or "angry" are not nuanced enough.
- More specific labels (e.g., "curious but anxious") improve emotional processing and well-being.
Checking In With Your Emotions
- Ask yourself "How do I feel right now?" multiple times a day.
- Avoid broad labels like "good" or "bad"; use nuanced descriptions instead.
