Thoughts and feelings and the body and even the environment are all connected. Sometimes we tend to think of them as mostly separate symptoms, and we don't recognize how one affects the other. By thinking about where you experience those feelings in your body, you gain more understanding of your feelings and how and why they affect you. There are things that you can do with that, such as learning to notice when you feel that same feeling in that same place again, and making a connection to where that feeling has come from before, and how you act when you feel it. You can use it as a cue to change your thoughts or behavior if you need to change something there. Just understanding where it comes from and how it affects you helps you to have a more complete understanding of yourself.
