Wellness Minutes explores the practice of meditating on feelings, teaching listeners to observe the space between events and actions where thoughts and emotions influence behavior. This episode introduces the powerful practice of emotional awareness for more mindful living.

• Between external events and our actions lie thoughts and feelings that influence our behavior
• Taking a "riverbank position" means stepping back to observe your emotions rather than being swept along by them
• Universal feelings across cultures include happiness, sadness, fear, and disgust
• We often confuse thoughts for feelings—when you say "I feel like," you're usually expressing a thought
• Feelings act as sensitive thermometers that reveal how events affect us
• Naming your feelings during stressful times can help tame difficult experiences

Try observing your feelings and associated thoughts this week and notice how this awareness affects your responses to situations.
