Do my feelings have meanings? (May/Jun 2021 membership bundle)

This month’s theme is a deep dive into understanding our Feelings.
Feelings are mental associations and reactions to an emotion that are personal and acquired through experience.

Here’s a fun fact: Did you know that there are over 4,000 feelings listed in the English language?

Most people can easily recognize at least 500 of those, but when asked to list emotions they can only list five to ten. The emotion comes first and is universal.
What kind of feeling(s) it will then become varies enormously from person to person and from situation to situation because feelings are shaped by individual temperament and experience.

Two people can feel the same emotion but label it under different names. For example: You are in a zoo on your own and on foot, you see a lion behind bars, and your feelings may range from curiosity to admiration, or bitterness – if you believe lions should never be caged.

By understanding the meanings behind our feelings, it is our hope that we begin to understand ourselves better. Ultimately, in understanding ourselves better, we can then worship our Creator more diligently.
