Emotions are often felt spontaneously in the face of a situation and linked to physical sensations, such as a change in heart rate or body temperature, or an overdose of energy. We experience emotions every day. Some stay with us long and intensely, while others may go unnoticed or reappear several days after an event. Whichever the case, these are your best allies in giving you clues as to what\u2019s going on in your life, and what makes you feel good or not. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six basic emotions are generally recognized: joy, anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and surprise. These can be felt at different intensities or in a variety of other emotions. Emotions are the messengers of your needs. The more precise you are in naming your emotion, the easier it will be for you to connect with the associated need and adapt to your environment. Take a look at the illustration below to help you practise. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
