The practice of living feelings. You can watch the broadcast in a video recording, or read the text below. Good afternoon, dear listeners! Angelina Seagal is with you. In previous broadcasts, I talked about feelings, their functions, and what happens if you live only with thoughts. I remind you that you can watch the recording of the broadcasts on my YouTube channel “PSYCHOLOGY with Angelina Seagal”, as well as on the radio channel “ ECHO OF MOSCOW in Samara.” After the previous broadcasts, I did a survey on my social networks, and it turned out that the topic of feelings is really relevant. Therefore, let's continue about feelings. Today I will talk about “How to live feelings?”, and we will do it practically. After all, until you try, the theory will remain a theory. So, the practice of living feelings. Take a break from work, sit comfortably, take a deep breath, exhale. Remember some situation that was unpleasant for you, but not too traumatic for you. Perhaps this is some kind of quarrel, or someone told you something unpleasant? Remember this event. Where did it take place? Who was there? What did you hear? Now track your feelings. How do you feel right now when you remember? Perhaps it is resentment or anger. Allow yourself to feel. And if it is an insult, then try to determine what is underneath the insult, what is the basic feeling? Most often, resentment combines feelings of anger and sadness. What feelings exactly do you have? Or maybe it’s fear? It’s important to identify the feeling, whatever it is, and allow it to be, right now. Now ask yourself - where does this feeling live in the body? Where is it located? To do this, scan your body from the top of your head to your toes. What sensations does it have? It could be some kind of compression in the body, or vice versa, a feeling of expansion. Decrease or increase in temperature. Tingling, pulsation, and other bodily sensations. Whatever the sensations are, allow them to be. Give yourself permission to feel your feelings and body sensations. Watch them as if from the outside. Realize that you have them. And live them. Of course, you will need time for this. Therefore, after the broadcast, give it to yourself to live out the feelings associated with this situation. When we experience feelings, they are neutralized. So, keep asking yourself how you feel, because feelings are constantly changing. At first it may be fear, then anger, then sadness, and then joy. Whatever the feelings, it is important to realize them, feel them physically, accept them and live them. We are not used to listening to ourselves, so for many this will be a new skill of awareness that is worth learning. In consultations, I help clients develop this awareness. The result is that feelings are experienced, the person feels better, calmness appears and a state in which problems can be solved constructively. Do you need help?
