Ever wondered if you can actually control how you feel? Today on Flavors of Emotions, we’re uncovering the science of emotions and how to shift from automatic reactions to conscious choices. Emotions aren’t just “in the moment” responses—they’re recipes created by our brain, using past memories, sensory data, and interoception (our sixth sense) to deliver feelings that we can influence.
We’ll break down:
- The two types of emotions we feel—classic (like joy, anger) and homeostatic (like hunger, fatigue)
- Why our brain acts as a chef, blending past memories and sensory input to deliver the emotions we experience
- The concept of interoception, our “sixth sense,” and how it influences both our mental and physical states
- Three steps to shift your feelings: naming the feeling, shifting focus, and choosing new “ingredients”
Emotions impact our mental health, immune system, and relationships. So join me as we break down how to become the chef of your feelings and create a healthier, happier you.
Follow Kim for insights, emotional recipes, and a whole lot of curiosity served with a whole lot of heart.
