Every person is periodically faced with a situation where the feelings experienced are so strong that they cannot be expressed in words. This applies not only to positive emotions, but also to negative ones. A person falls into a hurricane of feelings, often overwhelming him, and tries to drown out the experience. How to deal with this situation and convey your emotions?
Instructions
Step 1
To convey emotions, you must first learn to feel and recognize them. Find out what the feelings are. For example, there is joy, surprise, interest, disgust, contempt. Try observing yourself for a few days and tracking the emotions that arise in connection with different events in your life.
The next step is to recognize the shades of feelings. For example, the following emotions can be distinguished according to the degree of increase in their strength: irritation, anger, rage. Also observe yourself and your feelings for a few days.
Step 2
Once you've learned to recognize emotions, you can express them accurately in words. Practice doing this, communicate, talk about your feelings, experiences.
It is important to learn to express emotions as soon as they arise, without accumulating them. Share positive emotions, because it will bring joy not only to you, but also to the interlocutor. Don't put off feeling grateful to the person if a corresponding emotional experience has arisen. When you feel like complimenting yourself, don't hold back.
Learn to talk about negative emotions. You have a right to any feelings, including negative ones. Show negative emotions as soon as they arise. Say, "I am upset," "I am angry," "I am not pleased."
Step 3
When words are lacking and your emotions are too strong, dance. Movement is a great way to express yourself and your feelings. Remember Indian films: happiness - people dance, grief - the hero starts dancing.
In oriental cinema, people also sing, no matter what happens. Music is a great way to relieve tension and express your mood. If you do not remember the words to the song, make sounds, shout, whisper, stretch them, conveying this or that emotion. By controlling the volume of your voice, adjusting it, you can convey the shades of your feelings.
Step 4
Accompany the words with the appropriate posture, body position in space, facial expressions and gestures, intonation. Bodily manifestations agree with verbal statements unconsciously, but if desired, they can be strengthened. However, remember that this method may not always be appropriate.
