  "textContent": "Back to basics with today's Daily Reminder – a little video clip for you.\n\nAt an event I once ran, somebody with a curious mind (a mind that wanted to put things into categories, in order to settle itself), asked me:\n\n> _“What is the difference between emotions and feelings?”_\n\nIt's not something I'd ever really considered until that moment, and in meandering my way to my own conclusions, I explored some of the basic principles behind how we experience _all_ of life (which happens to include ‘feelings’ and ‘emotions’).\n\nIn doing so, I jumped from one metaphor to another, so this one features some of the greatest hits:\n\n  * Outside-in vs. Inside-Out (the teddy bear diagram)\n  * The inseparable nature of (the Principle of) Thought and Feeling, using a 50p coin to demonstrate\n  * The left & right hemisphere ways-of-being\n  * Thought system content vs. Awareness of Thought system and how ‘where you're coming from’ makes all the difference.\n\n\n\nRelax and enjoy this 3 minute exploration:\n\n0:00\n\n/3:08\n\n1×\n\n💟\n\nGiles\n\nSIGN UP FOR THE DAILY REMINDERS newsletter\n\nWant to start __your__ days with helpful, insightful content like this?
