Brittany (00:00):
Hey mama.

(00:03):
Welcome to the Inside Out Mamaspodcast.
I'm Brittany Turley, mom of six,and I know what it's like to
feel stuck and overwhelmedtrying to be the perfect mom,
but everything changed for mewhen I learned that small
changes on the inside can bringbig results on the outside.
Each week I will share simple,yet powerful inside shifts or

(00:25):
outside tips that can transformyour approach to mothering,
helping you thrive from theinside out.
Ready to ditch the mom guilt andenjoy this season of life.
You are in the right place.
This summer on the podcast, I'mgonna do something a little
different.
I've created a summer series onemotions.

(00:47):
Emotions are so important andthey.
Dictate so much of what we do inour lives, and yet we don't
understand them very well.
So I have a 10 part series eachone's going to be very small
because I know you wanna be outenjoying these summer days with

(01:08):
your kids.
Each week we'll build upon thelast week and we will just
incrementally dive into emotionswhere they come from, their
purpose, recognizing,identifying them, how to allow
them, how to release them,emotional maturity, how to
create emotions on purpose, andmore.

(01:28):
I hope you'll join me.
We're gonna start with thebasics today, and we're gonna
start with what are emotions.
There are a lot of things on theinternet and in books that you
can learn about emotions, andlots of people have different
viewpoints and ideas aboutemotions, and I'm not claiming

(01:49):
to know everything, but I'mgoing to share the definition
that has helped me the most, andthat is that emotions are the
body's reaction to the brain'sinterpretation of something.
In other words, our emotionscome from our thoughts.

(02:15):
Some people use the words,emotions and feelings
interchangeably, and sometimes Iprobably do that too.
But for me, the best definitionfor feelings is they are the
label or the name that you givean emotional experience.
So anger, joy, overwhelm, orpeace, those would all be.

(02:39):
Feelings, whereas the emotionsis my body's reaction.
So when I feel sad, often I willcry or I might tremble, or I
might feel cold.
When I feel overwhelmed, myemotional reaction would be to

(03:00):
feel pressure in my head,tightness in my chest, maybe
even like sweaty palms.
So for the rest of the series,we're gonna try and stick to
these definitions where emotionsare, how your body is reacting
to your thoughts and feelingsare the label or name.

(03:23):
You give those emotionalexperiences, but sometimes I'm
gonna probably slip up andinterchange them both.
Another good way to defineemotions is vibrations in our
body.
Our body is full of energy anddifferent emotions have been
studied and shown to createdifferent levels of energy.

(03:45):
A lot of the emotions that areconsidered negative, like.
The ones we don't enjoy feelinganger or sadness have been
studied to give low vibrations,whereas ones like love have been
studied and shown to give reallyhigh energy output.

(04:06):
While we're talking aboutemotions, it's important to not
confuse emotions withinvoluntary sensations.
our emotions come from ourthoughts, but sensations are
more like hunger, cold, thirst,sickness, tired.
These are all physicalsensations, whereas emotions

(04:31):
would be more like frustrated,lonely, bored.
Agitated.
A really helpful way todistinguish between these two.
Um, was shared by my mentorBrooke Castillo, and she said,
emotions start in the brain andtravel to the body, but

(04:51):
sensations start in the body andtravel to the brain.
If you think about hunger.
Usually we feel the sensation ofhunger in our body.
We feel it in our stomach, andthen that sends a signal to our
brain, Hey, we're hungry.
You need to go get us some food.
So just to wrap things up,emotions are our body's reaction

(05:17):
to our thoughts.
Feelings are the label or namethat we give those emotions.
