Episode notes
What is Emotional Literacy?
- Emotional literacy is the ability to recognize, label, and express what you're feeling in the moment.
- It involves sensing emotions in the body, pausing, and giving them presence until they pass.
Feelings Often Precede Thoughts
- Feelings arise often before thoughts because the body's chemistry reacts instantly to stimuli.
- Thoughts then fuel and prolong emotions creating a cognitive-emotive loop that leads to lasting moods and postures.
Harnessing Body Intelligence
- Listen to your body's sensations as a form of intelligence guiding decisions and awareness.
- Align your head, heart, and gut to achieve a whole-body yes for better choices.
