my supervisor told me that the project I was working on had
to be completed in three days when I thought I had another
two weeks?”
Write down your feelings in the notepad and a word or
two to help you remember the event corresponding to the
feeling. Your list may look like this:

EVENT FEELINGS
• tailgater • angry
• gas station • very upset
• no secretary • disappointed
• work project due in three days • frustrated and anxious

Do that exercise three times a day, and you will
develop an awareness of your emotional nature. Using your
notepad, communicate your emotions and the events briefly
with your spouse as many days as possible. In a few
weeks, you will become comfortable expressing your
emotions with him or her. And eventually you will feel
comfortable discussing your emotions toward your spouse,
the children, and events that occur within the home.
Remember, emotions themselves are neither good nor
bad. They are simply our psychological responses to the
events of life.
