~*** Mixed emotions ***~ Nobody can help  having feelings - they are part of everyone. We feel different things all day long as different things happen to us. Sometimes we feel sad - eg. when someone we love goes away. Sometimes we feel [|happy] - eg. when we are having fun  playing. Sometimes we feel scared, [|angry], guilty, [|lonely] or any of a huge range of human emotions. It is important not to be ashamed of having feelings. Everyone has them - good and bad. Even if emotions are unpredictable and overwhelming. We don’t have to let emotions control us. It is important to know how to manage those emotions. With time and practice we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness. Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want or don't want. It helps us build better relationships. That's because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about feelings more clearly, avoid or resolve conflicts better, and move past difficult feelings more easily. Some people are naturally more in touch with their emotions than others. The good news  is, everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes practice. But it's worth the effort: Emotional awareness is the first step  toward building  emotional intelligence , a skill that can help people succeed in life. Here are a few basic things about emotions: In conclusion I want to say, that emotions express  our identity, our relation to the different situations, things and people. So that we must pay attention to them.
 * Emotions come and go. Most of us feel many different emotions throughout the day. Some last just a few seconds. Others might linger to become a mood.
 * Emotions can be mild, intense, or anywhere in between. The intensity of an emotion can depend on the situation and on the person.
 * There are no good or bad emotions, but there are good and bad ways of expressing (or acting on) emotions. Learning how to express emotions in acceptable ways is a separate skill — managing emotions — that is built on a foundation of being able to understand emotions.
