How do you really feel?

That's a tough one to answer.  As I work with a therapist I realize that I have a basic disconnect with my thoughts and emotions.  I know they're there, and they're in me coursing through and affecting my quality of life, but I have a very difficult time really getting to the bottom of how I feel.  It's not for lack of courage or fear of judgement that I don't articulate how I really feel or what I really think.  It just that sometimes it takes me too long to figure it out and then the moment has passed.

When was the last time you told someone what you really think? I mean what you really, REALLY think.
This is a tricky question, in this society of surface smiles and actions it can be hard to know if someone is being completely honest with you. It can also be hard to be completely honest with someone else. If we all told everyone exactly what we think boy could our lives get messy! But sometimes, it is important to tell people what we really (really) think. How much you appreciate someone is one of those times. The common standby is “I love you” and this has varying meanings depending on the relationship and the individuals but does it really convey how you really feel?
 
How can you make someone fully understand how much you appreciate them? And if you are able to articulate it how would that effect the person? My guess is it would have a REALLY big impact. Not only would it remind them know their own worth (sometimes we can forget) but it would also encourage them to continue to act in the unique way that makes them beautiful (the unique way you appreciate them).  So, how can you let someone know how you REALLY feel today?  Make it happen and let us know about it.
