Heart: Emotional Identity

Emotional Identity is your personal perspective of how your feelings guide who you are and how you see the world.

Everyone is born with a heart. Think of the heart not as a physical blood pump, but rather as a conceptual center of emotions. This is where you build your capacity to love and hate, feel joy and sorrow, and experience happiness and anger. Feelings are as natural and varied as thoughts.


Everyone experiences and expresses emotions differently, just like people process information differently. Emotional Identity is your personal perspective of how your feelings guide who you are and how you see the world. Getting to know the roots of your emotions and how you express them is critical to understanding who you are. The better you understand yourself, the better you can understand others.


Exploring your emotions and how they motivate you will lead to discovery and empowerment as you work to re-shape how you feel in the future.
