Emotions are messengers. They let us know what we need. We like to see emotions and feelings like signals in a car that let you know what’s going on under the hood. Like when your gas light goes on it means you’re running low on gas. Or when the engine light comes on it means it’s time to take the car to the car repair shop. Sometimes emotions can be scary like when you feel anger or panic. Some can make you feel uncomfortable like sadness or worry. Next time you are having a big feeling, see if you can figure out what it is trying to tell you and how you can meet the need it needs.
