Emotions

Emotions are created by our brain

Different networks in the brain can create the same emotion. ... It is the way our brain gives meaning to bodily sensations based on past experience. Different core networks all contribute at different levels to feelings such as happiness, surprise, sadness and anger.

The Purpose: Emotions COMMUNICATE to others. It is in the vulnerable space of emotional communications that we connect through empathy. Our facial expression, tone and tempo of voice, and body language are more impactful than the words we use. Emotional expressions are universal and cross-cultural.

• Anger. ...

• Fear. ...

• Disgust. ...

• Happiness. ...

• Sadness. ...
