Can you give me a more simple explanation of the difference between emotions and feelings?
Emotions are measurable physical responses in the brain and body that are triggered by internal or external events. Compare them with an orange highway sign alerting you that something is changing ahead that may require you to alter your lane or speed. Each cord emotion comes with differing gestures, postures, behavioral patterns, memories, facial expressions, and physiological markers. The pre-frontal areas are believed to help moderate the expression of emotions. Feelings are the subjective conclusions or explanations created by the brain to help explain what the emotion might be trying to communicate and its relative importance to you. This process likely occurs in the pre-frontal cortex located directly behind the forehead. If you want to feel a different feeling, you have the ability to change a feeling by changing your thoughts.
