Feelings, unlike thoughts, involve a total body reaction.  Feelings are influenced by your thoughts and perceptions.  Feelings are what give you energy.  Feelings are often contagious.  It is especially important to learn to express rather than withhold what you feel.  The important first step is to become aware of and identify your feelings.  This is honoring your feelings.
