This is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This Podcast.

This week we are talking about naming our emotions.

Whoa! Everybody get excited.

If you have not downloaded the book club guide,

if you have not downloaded any of our freebies with this book,

we are giving you a emotions chart, an emotions

chart that is the emotions that we talk about in this book and so it goes into

greater description. So we're talking about granularity and using words that are more

descriptive and the reason it's powerful to use words that are more descriptive when we're naming

our emotions is because we are people who we were going to share it eventually, we're going to

feel it, but if we can give it a really specific name it helps us to feel that emotion properly.

So if it's grief because someone died versus disappointment

that I wasn't invited to a party, those get different amounts

of weight and time and energy. And so the more specific you can name the

emotion the healthier it is going to go through this process so I don't you know

we're gonna start with the big four and every book, as I mentioned in the book, every

book I read had different numbers.

Some people were like, there's seven main emotions.

Some people said there's five, some people said there's four.

So I thought the simplicity of four was memorable and I

really think almost every other emotion can fit in and slide into one of these

big ones. So fear, joy, anger, what am I forgetting? Sadness?
