Up until a few years ago, before I started getting into personal development, I think my vocabulary for emotions was very limited. I thought in the beginning, maybe it was because English is not my first language. Maybe I just hadn't learned the words. But I've also not used the words. I actually just looked up the wheel of emotions where they break down the six core emotions into all the sub emotions and then it splits up from there. I looked at this chart and looked at the words and I've only used a handful of those words. So for me, the first step was learning the vocabulary. The journaling that I do has helped me reflect on those things. Thoughts on Breathing Breathing is not consciously part of my mindfulness practice.
