Having a better emotional vocabulary helps you identify what you are actually feeling.  The feeling of “powerful” is going to drive a lot different action than feeling “good.”  So when someone asks you how you are doing today…. how do you want to answer?   “Fine?” “Good?” “Hanging in there?” or do you want to be “Awesome?” “Amazing?” “Confident?” “Productive?” How you answer could be the key to feeling exactly how you want to feel.
