**Actually feeling Feelings instead of intellectualizing them. Name them, be imprecise. **
Avoid intellectualizing emotions by naming and embracing them, rather than explaining them in a rational manner. Intellectualizing emotions is a defense mechanism that creates a disconnect from actually feeling them. Instead of explaining the narrative behind emotions, focus on embodying them by acknowledging how they make you feel, even if it feels imprecise. Being imprecise in expressing emotions allows for acknowledging the uncertainty and complexity within oneself. This approach of embracing feelings in their vagueness is a crucial starting point in moving away from intellectualizing emotions and fostering genuine emotional awareness.
