The Body’s Signal System
Most people treat emotions like enemies: hide them, numb them, power through. But emotions aren’t weakness — they’re signals from your nervous system telling you if you’re safe or threatened.
The Science
- Joy + love = oxytocin, serotonin → healing + calm.
- Fear + anger = cortisol flood → stress + inflammation.
- Suppressed emotions = stuck stress chemistry in the body.
Everyday Life
- Bottling = headaches, gut issues, snapping at others.
- Naming/expressing = nervous system reset.
Ripple Effect
Unprocessed emotions drain energy, disturb sleep, and trigger stress loops. Flowing emotions restore balance across all parts.
Takeaway
Emotions are signals, not flaws. Feel them or they’ll spill out sideways.
