Emotions are sensations in the body that can be triggered by memories, thoughts, external stimuli and they can change our physical state. Emotion has a “story” attached to it; there is a physical aspect as well as a psychological aspect; they control our thinking, behavior and actions.
The two basic emotions are love and fear. All other emotions, thoughts and behaviors are variations of these two. Anxiety, anger, control, sadness, depression, inadequacy, confusion, hurt, loneliness, guilt, shame, are all fear-based emotions. Joy, happiness, caring, trust, compassion, truth, contentment, satisfaction, are love-based emotions.
A pure, not self-conscious state is considered a feeling.
We “feel” joy for example when we look at a baby, when we are absorbed in the moment, such as watching a beautiful sunset. A feeling is something more direct, something sensory sometimes. A feeling is something we can identify. SSP
~ Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
