How Can You Expand Your Emotional Range
- Know your range. Talk to your partner, friends, and siblings and try to distill from their feedback what your emotional range is (as some people tend to estimate their own range with a bias). If you aren’t happy with your range, or you want to feel more alive, then follow these steps.
- Play. Play is the lubricant of life and, as such, will help you soften your self-perception and take yourself less seriously. This will result in your being more open to feeling and expressing new feelings. Try playing with children and people that are comfortable expressing emotions.
