Have you ever said, “I’m just feeling off today,” or “I’m super emotional right now,” without really knowing why?

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin dives into a powerful distinction that most people miss: the difference between emotions and feelings—and how understanding that difference can unlock greater resilience, better self-control, and more intentional action in your life.

Drawing on insights from Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Kevin explains:

• 💭 What emotions really are: automatic, subconscious physical responses wired into your brain
• 🧠 What feelings are: your conscious interpretation of those emotions, shaped by language, beliefs, and past experiences
• 🔁 How this cycle works in daily life, from tough workouts to frustrating meetings to emotional conversations
• 🧰 Practical tools to build awareness, label what’s really going on, and respond instead of react
• 🧠 How Enlifted techniques like noticing soft talk, negations, and projections help shift your story—and your state

This episode isn’t just about theory—it’s about usable tools to help you pause, reflect, and choose more resilient actions in everyday moments.

Kevin wraps with a challenge:

📌 This week, when a strong emotion arises, pause. Ask yourself: “What story am I telling right now?” Then ask, “What’s actually true?”

The space between those questions is where your resilience lives.
