- Most emotions—sensations occurring in and on the body—move through the body in a minute and a half or less (usually far less) if we match our expression with our experience. If you repress or recycle emotion, it can harden into a mood. - It's important to trust the heart and acknowledge the emotions we're feeling. Sometimes a good way to acknowledge them is simply by vocalising the emotion. Not by speaking or saying something but simply making a sound that matches that emotion. - Just as you have [[Open Loops]] for thoughts the same can be true of emotions as well. - It's important to not identify the [[Faux Feelings]] but the true feeling underneath. - Also important is [[Acknowledging Feelings]] and not dismiss them as not important. --- The body releases naturally when you vocalize and let it move to match energy. By vocalization, we don’t mean “talk about it,” because that usually leads to recycling. Rather, we just mean make a sound. - [[The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership]] In her book My Stroke of Insight, Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist, Jill Bolte-Taylor says that emotions last at most ninety seconds. - [[The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership]]
