In this episode, Amanda and Timm continue their series on
Bob Dunham’s SELPH acronym that reminds us of the key elements of being
human.  The E in SELPH reminds us that we
are all Emotional beings. 



 All of us get triggered by emotions. This is part of our
nervous system that has evolved to help us shift bodily and mentally to deal
with threats and other things that show up in our environment.



 Emotions tend to run their course through our body in a
relatively short period of time. 
However, they can also trigger moods that linger in our bodies.  The key distinction between emotions and
moods is that we have a choice in how we react to our moods – we can always be
choosing the mood we want to get back to. 



 We distinguish between opening and closing moods.  Closing moods keep us bogged down in
emotional events and the negative stories we have about them.  Opening moods help us move on and center
ourselves back into what we really care about. 



 Moods are contagious. 
Being aware of our moods and being able to shift into opening moods is
an embodied practice.  One of the many
embodied practices we teach at East Valley Leader Lab.
