What Your Feeling's Level Today?
Can you recall an experience that created low level feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, guilt etc., and made you lose control. Well once you have identified your feelings, it is time to rate them. The key is to rate the intensity of your feelings on an emotional scale is from zero to ten (zero indicates no low level emotions and ten indicates the most intense positive emotional feelings).
