What Are Feelings?

“I feel great!” “I feel mad.” “I feel scared!” Just what are

these oceans of emotions washing over you these days?

Emotions are reactions you have to things that happen

around you, and you use “feeling” words to describe them.

Because the events you react to are constantly changing, it’s

natural that your emotions would change, too! (That’s why

the word “emotion” has the word “motion” built right into it.)

You can be soaring to the top of the world one minute and

feel stuck in the mud the next. Sometimes you may not even

be sure how you feel at all.

The better you become at identifying your feelings, the more

you’ll learn about yourself. People often use the words on the

following page to describe their feelings. Make note of any

feelings you remember having in the last week.

Some days I feel happy one minute and like crying

the next. I continually get mad when people ask me

about my day, and I often blow up at my mom. What

is happening? Why do I do this?
