Your emotions aren’t just reactions to what’s happening right now. They’re shaped by what you’ve lived through.
Your body remembers patterns — what felt safe, what hurt, what didn’t end well.
So sometimes a feeling shows up before anything actually happens.
That doesn’t mean you’re overreacting.
It means your system is trying to protect you, the only way it knows how.
When you understand this, emotions stop feeling like interruptions… and start feeling like messages worth listening to.
Pause and ask: What might these emotions be trying to prepare me for?
