Emotional and Thought Awareness Exercise

Emotional and Thought Awareness Exercise

** Find a comfortable place where you are undisturbed for a while

** Take some deep breath in and out.

** Notice your emotions.

** Pick an emotion that you are feeling right now, unless that emotion is too overwhelming in a negative way. If you can't really identify what you are feeling at the moment, you can pick an emotion that you were feeling recently.

** Become aware of the intensity. Does it feel like boiling water or ice cold water?

** Notice where in your body you feel this emotion. Be aware of the changes in your facial muscles when you are experiencing emotions.

** Write down any thoughts that arise as a result of your emotion.
