How are you really feeling? Words for your emotions part 1/3

 I have a new homework assignment and it's a tough one.  I've been asked to say how I feel when I think or experience a particular situation... And this is difficult enough because so often I use thinking words rather than feeling words.  I think I'm feeling something but, in truth I'm thinking it....  AAAAARGH!  Well, the reason this is an important exercise it that, once I've identified a feeling, I am supposed to identify where that feeling occurs in my body.  In other words, "How does that feeling manifest itself?"  I understand I get into trouble when I decide I've felt something rather than thought it and then attribute the feeling to the circumstances or individual causing me to feel a particular way...  It's faulty thinking.  I need to work on this and if you're anything like me perhaps you do too?
