All about Understanding Feelings
Feelings are a natural part of being human. Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, excitement and worry all send messages from your body and mind. No feeling is wrong, but how you act on a feeling is something you can choose.
Naming a feeling makes it easier to manage. Ask yourself where you feel it in your body and what might have caused it. Talking with someone you trust can help you understand your feelings and find ways to cope.
