Episode 3405: Dr. Lisa Firestone highlights how our emotions, often unconsciously, guide our lives and influence our actions.

Embracing and expressing our true emotions can transform them into adaptive tools that lead to deeper self-awareness and fulfillment. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/emotions-guide-lives/ Quotes to ponder: "Primary emotion is not the stale resentment. Instead, it is a vital feeling that often leaves the person feeling very open and perhaps vulnerable." "When we live in harmony with our emotions, we become more in touch with who we are." "By focusing on emotion with compassion and curiosity, we can discover who we are and what we want." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
