    EMOTIONS

    • Xenial Explored as Warmth

      Xenial Explored as Warmth

      We recently explored xenia – this emotion word that begins with the letter X. Today I’m exploring another form of this word, xenial. (The limited emotive words that begin with the letter X. (She smiles and rolls her eyes in her head.) A reminder about what xenial is…
    • Yippee

      Yippee

      Say the word with as much vigor as you can muster – yippee! Now, check in with your emotional compass and see how you’re feeling. The mere mention of this emotion invokes energy in my body that closely resembles the word itself. My internal canvas fills with images…
    • Zeal

      Zeal

      What is Zeal and why it matters. Zeal is an emotion we all feel, but it often goes unlabeled. You know, that enthusiastic devotion or intense interest you have for something. Scan your experience library for a moment and recall a time when you got so wrapped up…
    • Affection

      Affection

      Definition of affection: 1) A tender feeling toward another; fondness; 2) Feeling or emotion; 3) A disposition to feel, do or say; a propensity. What does Affection look like? I see a son shopping for groceries, to help his mother have some ‘tie overs’ to enjoy between the…
    • Bother

      Bother

      To me, Bother looks like someone who deliberately places their hands on their hips and fumes a big sigh of frustration or disgust. You’ve probably experienced a parent or someone gasping at you at some point in your life. It also looks like someone or something pestering you.…
    • Cheer

      Cheer

      Cheer is the essence of happiness. What does Cheer look like? To me, it is a smiling face. It is a child caught up in a moment that causes excessive giggling. It is a performance or a job well done, recognized by observers, perhaps there is applause or…

      The classical definition of Defiance: (1) The act or an example of defying; bold resistance to an opposing force or authority, (2) Intentionally contemptuous behavior or attitude; readiness to contend or resist, (3) Suspicion; mistrust. To me, Defiance looks like a kid that refuses to eat her green…
    • Elation

      Elation

      What does Elation look like? My elation looks like me standing tall with pride and optimism. It is an author receiving a little message from a known or unknown reader saying, “Your book (article, blog, idea) helped me understand…” It looks like holding a published book in your…
    • Fear

      Fear

      What does Fear look like? To me, it looks like someone hiding from something or someone. It looks like a bird that takes flight when I walk too close or an animal that jumps upon hearing something startling. I sometimes do things because I am afraid of a…
    • Grouchy

      Grouchy

      What comes to mind when you hear the term – crabby Appletons? That is what Grouchy looks like to me. A crabby-looking apple. Perhaps a person with a cross-looking face, a stern evil eye perhaps. What does Grouchy feel like? Where do you feel it in your body?…
    • Happy

      Happy

      Do you remember the last time everything felt aligned and working well, and you felt peace in your life every day? That’s what happiness looks like to me. What does happiness look like to you? Perhaps it is when you had the sillies, and you felt like you…
