Most days the default is, “I’m stressed” or “I’m tired.” But when we slow it down, it often sounds more like: “I feel a knot in my stomach because I’m afraid I’ll disappoint someone.” “My shoulders feel heavy because I’m not sure what to do next.” Naming it a little more clearly can take some of the pressure out of the moment. Here’s a simple pattern we can use: emotion + body sensation + what set it off Example: “I feel anxious, my chest is tight, because I haven’t replied to that message yet.” If you took the biggest feeling you’re carrying today and ran it through that pattern, what would your sentence sound like?

Sometimes the issues we have with others are rooted in issues we have with ourselves. I find that the more I understand and deal with my own issues, the better my relationships become.

Continuing with the 18 Day Emotional Intelligence Crash Course. This is really powerful: The first step toward becoming your real self often happens the moment someone truly sees you without judgment. That experience shows you that you are not alone, that your feelings make sense, and that connection can exist without pretending. When you remember who first made you feel understood, you can see how belonging begins. It teaches you that authenticity grows in safe spaces and that being seen can be the starting point for real confidence and self acceptance.
