Accepting that you have your own way of expressing yourself and your emotions will change your perspective on life and help you feel more confident. “When you become friends with your emotions, they become an integral part of your communication, an integral part of understanding yourself and not getting caught up in old or current beliefs that aren't true. ” – Dona Joy Airey Connect with Dona Joy Airey: Website: https://www.facebook.com/djairey Email: dona@transformingwithin.com Phone: 502-420-9911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey To submit questions: Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/makingsenseofemotions/ Email her with "Podcast Question" in the subject line.  Special Current Offer: 30 Minute Discovery Session with Dona If you would like to speak to me personally to ask questions or perhaps address a current problem you are having, email me and I will send you a link to schedule a time to meet.

In this episode, Dona discuss: * Getting stuck with emotions and thoughts * Wanting sex but the body and the mind aren’t working together * Fight or flight response Key takeaways: * Emotions sometimes cause us to get stuck. When we accept the emotion itself then we can process the cause of the emotion more readily.    * There are many reasons why we get stuck or get frozen.  Sometimes it's either an unconscious idea or emotion that gets in the way.   * The fight or flight response is an automatic physiological response to a stressful, past memory or terrifying experience. * Dona goes through a technique of processing anger.

You Make Me Feel…

In this episode, Dona discuss: * Are you responsible for other people’s feelings? * Communicating with clear and concise language * Where do hurt feelings typically come from? * Owning our own feelings and emotions Key takeaways: * We typically have thoughts and emotions in response to what other people say to us. However, we have no control over what other people feel or what they don't feel. Those feelings are yours and yours alone. * When you communicate in clear and concise language, others are more inclined to respond in clear and concise language, resulting in a stronger bond between you. * Expectations that are not met are the most common source of hurt feelings. Look at your own expectations behind the hurt feeling. * Owning our own feelings and emotions helps us maintain a clear perspective, communicate effectively, and hear each other differently. "Owning your emotions and feelings as yours and yours alone creates much better communication.” - Dona Joy Airey Connect with Dona Joy Airey: Website: https://www.facebook.com/djairey [https://www.facebook.com/djairey] Email: dona@transformingwithin.com [dona@transformingwithin.com] Phone: 502-420-9911 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey [https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey] To submit questions: Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/makingsenseofemotions/ Email me with "Podcast Question" in the subject line.  Talk Directly to Dona Joy?

But I Don't Know What I Feel

In this episode Dona discussed: * What’s behind any problem or difficulty? * Allowing your body to process emotions * What if you don't know what you're feeling? Key takeaways: * All problems and difficulties have a feeling or emotion behind it. Identifying emotions and feelings can reduce stress, make us feel more grounded, and keep us present at all times. * Allow your body to process emotions in the body, giving them their own time and space. This can often help to bring clarity to your feelings and thoughts about the problem you're facing at the time. * Even if you don't know what the feeling is, your body knows and wants to move. Allow your body to process emotions and then get to your thoughts to know what you know. Writing and journaling is one method to discover what you are feeling and thinking. “When you're able to listen to your body, and what the body wants, and allow it, then there's great freedom from the stress and the ability to move towards resolving the feelings and difficulties that you're having at the time.” - Dona Joy Airey Connect with Dona Joy Airey: Website: https://www.facebook.com/djairey [https://www.facebook.com/djairey] Email: dona@transformingwithin.com [dona@transformingwithin.com] Phone: 502-420-9911 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey [https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey]   To submit questions: Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/makingsenseofemotions/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/makingsenseofemotions/] Email her with "Podcast Question" in the subject line.    Special Current Offer: 30 Minute Discovery session with Dona If you would like to speak to me personally to ask questions or perhaps address a current problem you are having, email me and I will send you a link to schedule a time to meet.
