  In this episode you will learn:   

  Do you know the difference between your feelings and your emotions? Is there a difference? Does it really matter? Well, it does. Here’s why, if you don’t want to be controlled by negative feelings. Or maybe a chronic illness is controlling a vast amount of your time, energy and money and you need to find a healthy way to deal with ongoing losses, grief, and PTSD. Whatever the reason for your attunement into this subject of emotional intelligence, awareness, and overcoming trauma, you will not be disappointed. Because Christy Kennedy lays out a path towards understanding your internal centers of intelligence that are accessible to everyone through the Head, Heart, and Gut.    So back to my original question, can you articulate the difference between feelings and emotions?    So glad you asked! For starters, FEELINGS are internal and EMOTIONS are external.  Your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings create your emotions. Your feelings are the internal chemical and neurological reactions that are connected to the body. And your emotions are the external expression of those feelings. The cart before the horse. Or said another way, your thoughts trigger a feeling, and that feeling causes emotion and those emotions often unconsciously drive our external mood and behaviors.    That is why you can be “highly emotional” and have no idea what you are actually feeling internally. Kennedy shares with us in this interview her personal recovery story through cancer and the meditative practice she uses daily.  You can’t create a new reality or say a healthy reality (since that is what we are all going for over here) by holding onto the negative emotions of your past. That is like driving around town with your right foot on the gas and your left foot on the brakes. It is a terrible use of energy and very ineffective.      Sponsored by: Envita Medical   Envita Medical 1-866-830-4576   "Envita saved my life. They stopped the immense suffering.
