When's the last time you felt...

We're all capable of feeling a vast range and depth of emotions. Yet in our everyday lives we often find that very few become familiar to us. And the ones that do, are often not the ones on the "up" side of the scale.

Feelings such as boredom, frustration, disillusion and depression may seem to be the ones we experience time and time again.

But is this just a matter of perception?

Do we simply look for, and gather, the evidence in our emotions and experiences that we need to support our image we have of ourselves? And in the process train ourselves to play down or even ignore completely the most enjoyable and rewarding feelings and experiences we're a part of?

It's a big question!

To make a first step into exploring this a little more, take some time to sit down somewhere undisturbed and write your thoughts and memories on the following -

- The last time I felt euphoric was...

- The last time I felt terrified was...

- The last time I felt swept off my feet was...

- The last time I felt outside of myself was...

- The last time I felt like a child again was...

Try the same sentence with other emotions and feelings that come to you. Notice what you write and what you associate with certain words and feelings.

You may surprise yourself with what you're able to recall, and with what it reveals about yourself...
