Express
The ability to express one's feelings is a fundamental social skill. As Charles Darwin observed, from birth we are prepared to communicate through some gestures such as laughter, crying, estrangement. Express: express with words, looks or gestures what you want to imply. How we express ourselves defines our personality. In psychology, the term "personality" is defined as an organization of emotions, cognitions, and behaviors that determine a person's behavior patterns. Both the biological basis (temperament) and environmental influences (character) are involved in the formation of personality.
In the Mandala of Emotions the express complement is imitate. In the soul, well-being and discomfort are related to the sensations of the body.
