Sometimes people find it difficult to describe their emotions. Anger, fear of losing loved ones, suddenly gripping passion, excitement at the sight of a newly born child - the language simply does not have enough words to express the depth of feelings that grips a person. Nevertheless, in order for your interaction with loved ones to bring you satisfaction, you need to be able to describe your emotions.
Necessary
- - romance novels;
- - notebook.
Instructions
Step 1
First, learn to understand your emotions yourself. It is often difficult for a person to understand what he really feels. This is especially true of negative emotions. It's easy to confuse resentment (undeserved humiliation) and frustration (irritation at someone’s failure, anger at circumstances). Therefore, before opening your soul to someone, think about what you are really experiencing.
Step 2
Pay more attention to your body. Are your fists clenched, the wings of your nose fluttering, your breathing quickened? Have you turned red or turned pale, or maybe even completely green? The physiological reaction to stressful situations in people is similar, therefore, describing what you experienced during any situation, you may well say: "At the sight of him, I felt such rage that I involuntarily clenched my fists and turned purple." They will understand you.
Step 3
Emotions in people are usually associated with the heart. It beats more often or slows down altogether, flutters, jumps out of the chest, shrinks. “With excitement, my heart was ready to jump out of my chest,” “after hearing this news, it seemed to me that my heart missed a beat” will describe your emotions much more accurately than just shock and excitement.
Step 4
Failure to describe your emotions may be due to poor vocabulary. You can learn this from romance authors. Ardent confessions, ardent passion, chilling horror and bitterness of disappointment will enter your vocabulary, and over time you will be able to use these epithets in order to describe your feelings.
Step 5
Keep a journal in which you will write down the emotions you experienced during the day, and re-read it regularly. After you write ten times in a row that you experienced joy, you yourself will want to describe more fully what kind of joy it was, how deep this emotion was, and how long you have been in this state.
