Emotions

Emotions are at the heart of everything for me, but they’re at the heart, not the surface, and I’m better at picking up other people’s feelings than recognising my own! Negative ones, anyway – love, joy and happiness are easy to identify, and so is anger, but messier emotions like fear, grief, jealousy, disapproval and hate tend to go underground. I feel exhausted, or I’m in pain, or I think I’m getting flu – but then I realise the cause is emotional, not physical.
