    My Personal Journey to Making Friends With Emotions

    In this episode Dona discussed: The importance of befriending your emotionsDona's personal journey to making friends with emotionsKey takeaways: Emotions affect every part of our lives, it is where passion, creativity, and motivation come from. Befriending your emotions and letting your thoughts and feelings move and flow will bring ease and peace to your life.Communication without emotions distorts the message, so allowing yourself to express your emotions on your own helps you better understand your own and other people's emotions, as well as how to properly express them in a way that others can understand.There's nothing wrong with being different. 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 thoughtsWanting sex but the body and the mind aren’t working togetherFight or flight responseKey takeaways: Emotions sometimes cause us to get stuck.

    You Make Me Feel…

    In this episode, Dona discuss: Are you responsible for other people’s feelings?Communicating with clear and concise languageWhere do hurt feelings typically come from?Owning our own feelings and emotionsKey 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 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 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 emotionsWhat 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 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.

    Sharing His Journey To Making Friends With Emotions With Jason Costelle

    About Jason Costelle: Jason is a 51-year-old businessman in corporate sales. He started working on making friends with emotions a few years ago and is sharing his journey from the inability to let certain emotions to acknowledging, allowing, and using emotions to go beyond some difficult behaviors. He learned how his stuck emotions have had a massive effect on him and his relationships. In this episode Dona and Jason discuss: Self-love and inner child relationshipVulnerability in relationshipsThe importance of getting a hobby or something you’re interested inKey takeaways The key to self-love and healing an inner child relationship is recognizing that you have suffered traumas in the past, understanding how it is affecting you today, and becoming comfortable with your emotions.Emotions are not dangerous. Allowing your emotions to flow and recognizing that feeling sad and being vulnerable is normal will help you to do more with your love, and feel it within yourself, and certainly in a relationship.Having something that you enjoy doing or are passionate about could be your major coping mechanism in struggling to form your identity and not feeling emotions."It's going to start with emotions, it's going to start with becoming okay with those and recognizing that you're not, and recognizing how you're not, and how it affects those around you. And once that awareness is there, you start losing the fear, you start moving towards the joy. And that to me is how we're born and how we're supposed to evolve.” - Jason Costelle 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.  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    What About When I Don't Feel?

    In this episode, Dona discusses: The meaning of not feeling anythingDepression vs. sadnessThe truth about the thought that joy is good emotion and all the others are bad and negativeWhat to do about depression Key takeaways Not feeling anything means your thoughts are engaged but not your emotions, and there is no passion, creativity, or motivation coming from your body. Depression is the lack of available emotion, while sadness, like all feelings, is the combination of emotion and thoughts. Emotions are physiological chemical responses in the body that all come from the same place and have the same foundation. We experience them differently and the emotions of mad, sad, and fear are not negative or bad. What makes them “negative” is when the thoughts label them as such and interact with our behaviors or beliefs, or actions.One way to cope with depression is to acknowledge that you don't feel any emotions, then begin adding movement slowly."You can follow your dreams and make your goals. Become friends with your emotions, honor them, give them space to move, and our creativity, passion, and motivation will blossom.” - 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 me with "Podcast Question" in the subject line.  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
