Summary
Hello and welcome to episode 131 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
In this episode, you'll discover three components of emotions, including:
- A subjective component, which is the unique experience of emotions from person to person
- A physiological component, which involves the physical sensations of emotions, and
- A cognitive component, which is about how we interpret and label emotions. I also share "misattribution of arousal" which is the inaccurate labelling of emotions.
To mindfully explore emotions, try to identify the subjective, physiological and cognitive components of your emotions (without judging anything you might notice).
Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!

| 0:48.4 | This is something I've been exploring more and more, but I have to say it's been a challenging |
| 0:53.2 | journey. |
| 0:54.3 | I've never felt particularly comfortable feeling anything other than what I perceived as positive |
| 0:59.8 | emotions and it's been difficult to embrace mindfulness when I'm feeling sad or angry or stressed |
| 1:06.5 | or frustrated. |
| 1:07.9 | I've spoken a bit about this before, but it's taken a while for me to discover |
| 1:12.0 | some practical ways to actually do it. So first, I just want to touch on why it's important to be |
| 1:18.6 | able to experience emotions in a mindful way. Back before I started practicing mindfulness, |
| 1:23.7 | I put a lot of energy into trying to avoid any emotions that I believed were negative. |
| 1:29.3 | I tried and tried to ignore these emotions, especially anger and stress. |
| 1:33.9 | When I was feeling those emotions, I also started feeling hopeless and wrong and ashamed and |
| 1:39.1 | out of control and when I didn't feel those emotions, I was worried that they would return. |
