We can develop a sensitivity to our emotions.
Rather than get overwhelmed, we can pinpoint them as soon as they begin and act with a gentle awareness
of them.

Important to note: We aren't ignoring them!
In fact, it's the opposite. We're becoming more aware of them, and acting in accordance with them.

Notice your reactions to your emotions.
Do you push them away? Do you tell yourself you "shouldn't be feeling this?"

Your emotional state changes like the wind...It's not uncommon to find your
emotions changing 20-30 times a day!

They change quickly and frequently, often without our
awareness.In my own life, an awareness of my own emotions has been invaluable.

Example: Working with 'difficult' people.
I am able to notice my emotions (frustration, anger, annoyance, envy, etc.) before they take over and begin
to drive my interactions in maladaptive directions.
