- It's important to identify how your body is reacting and how you're feeling in a certain moment. Everyone has an emotional ringtone or like a tell tale sign that their body gives them. These can be really subtle. - One way to identify them is to talk about a vulnerable situation or time in your life and record yourself. On rewatching you might notice things about yourself and how you really do feel. - Seems like a really good way to identify [[Emotional Blindspots]] and overcome [[Faux Feelings]] ---- "What’s your ringtone? Like a telephone, unrest has a unique ringtone that lets us know it’s just for us. Our job is to learn our ringtone so we can quickly notice and respond to the call. In a few sentences, jot down something that is troubling you. Let yourself be aware of the gap between what you want and your ultimate control over the outcome. Pick up your smartphone to video yourself as you describe your vulnerable situation. When you have described it fully, turn off the camera and play the video back. Observe your body in the video. Be curious, and really “listen” for your ringtone. You have hundreds of muscles, and some will signal more intensely than others—you might notice tapping toes, holding your breath, a furrowed brow, fidgety fingers, or raised shoulders." - [Link](http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/four_ways_we_avoid_our_feelings_and_what_to_do_instead)
