We live in a world where being productive seems more important than being human. We chase goals, deadlines, status, connections and results, often without realizing that we leave behind something essential: the connection with what we feel. Amidst the speed of everyday life, we get used to ignoring anger, disguising sadness, containing fear and even stifling joy. Feeling has become something secondary, almost bothersome. But feeling consciously is, in fact, the greatest act of presence we can have. When we develop the ability to recognize what we feel, we take a giant step towards emotional freedom. We begin to understand the signals our body sends, the message behind our emotions, and this changes everything: from how we relate to others to how we treat ourselves in silence. Feeling consciously does not mean being fragile, it means being whole. It means realizing that every emotion has a purpose, a message, a reason for being there. When we run away from what we feel, we lose the chance to know ourselves deeply. And without self-knowledge, there is no true evolution.

Introduction
The importance of feeling consciously
We live in a world where being productive seems more important than being human. We chase goals, deadlines, status, connections and results, often without realizing that we leave behind something essential: the connection with what we feel. Amidst the speed of everyday life, we get used to ignoring anger, disguising sadness, containing fear and even stifling joy. Feeling has become something secondary, almost bothersome.
But feeling consciously is actually the greatest act of presence we can have. When we develop the ability to recognize what we feel, we take a giant step towards emotional freedom. We begin to understand the signals our body sends, the message behind our emotions, and this changes everything: from how we relate to others to how we treat ourselves in silence.
Feeling consciously is not being fragile, it is being whole. It is realizing that every emotion has a purpose, a message, a reason for being there. When we run away from what we feel, we lose the chance to know ourselves deeply. And without self-knowledge, there is no true evolution.
Why is emotional intelligence more crucial than ever?
We have never been so connected and yet so distant from ourselves. We live in an era of information overload, constant stimuli, and external and internal pressures. Social media shows us impeccable smiles while, inside, many people fight silent battles. We are learning to live with anxiety, burnout, emotional instability, and increasingly fragile relationships.
It is in this scenario that emotional intelligence becomes essential — almost like an internal lifeline. It teaches us to recognize emotions, deal with them, understand others, communicate with empathy, build healthy relationships and make wiser decisions. And the best part: it can be learned and developed at any stage of life.
More than a professional advantage, emotional intelligence is today a human necessity. It is the bridge between what we feel and what we do with it. It is what transforms chaos into clarity, impulse into choice, reaction into response.
This book is an invitation. An invitation for you to look within with more care, listen to your emotions with more respect and develop a new way of living: with awareness, connection and emotional clarity.
Chapter 1: Understanding Emotions – What Are They Really?
Before we learn how to deal with emotions, we first need to understand what they are. And believe me, emotion is not just that “strong feeling” that comes suddenly and messes everything up. Emotion is language. It is the way our mind and body have found to give us valuable information about what is happening inside and outside of us.
Emotions are data, not threats
Imagine you’re crossing the street and suddenly a car speeds by. Your heart races, your muscles tense, and you jump back onto the sidewalk. It was fear that saved your life. Fear wasn’t the villain in the story—it was the messenger. Every emotion we feel has a biological and psychological function.
• Joy shows us that something is good for us.
• Sadness signals loss, a need for withdrawal.
• Anger appears when we feel that something is wrong or unfair.
• Fear protects us from dangers, real or imagined.
• Disgust drives us away from what is bad for us.
In other words: emotions are natural, automatic responses that are often essential for our survival and well-being.
The problem is not in feeling — it is in not understanding what you feel.
Many people grow up hearing phrases like “swallow your tears”, “don’t get angry”, “men don’t cry”, “that’s just nonsense”… and the result is an adult who feels, but doesn’t know how to name what they feel. Someone who explodes without knowing why, or keeps quiet when they should express themselves.
