The Feeling Habit
How You Think, Feel, and Communicate
You don’t have a “communication problem.” You have a habit and feeling problem that turns into a communication problem.
- Understand why you react the way you do.
- Break the emotional loops that sabotage your conversations.
- Communicate with more calm, clarity, and control.
Everything you want exists on the other side of awareness. This book shows you how to get there.
The Feeling Habit
How Habits, Triggers, and Emotions Shape the Way You Communicate
This isn’t another fluffy communication book. It’s a step-by-step guide to understanding the hidden loop: Habits → Triggers → Feelings → Patterns → Communication.
Use The Feeling Habit on your own, with your spouse, your family, or your team. It’s especially powerful for schools, leaders, and anyone who wants better conversations and stronger relationships.
Change Your Patterns, Change Your Communication
Most people try to fix communication at the surface—by choosing better words, memorizing techniques, or reading scripts. The truth is, your words are the last part of the process. Your habits and feelings are running the show long before you speak.
The Feeling Habit helps you:
- See the habits that drive your reactions.
- Identify the triggers that flip your emotional switches.
- Understand the “feeling habits” that keep showing up in every conflict.
- Practice new patterns that create calmer, clearer conversations.
Inside the book you’ll:
- Map your emotional triggers
- Recognize automatic reactions
- Break old communication loops
- Build emotional awareness
- Strengthen key relationships
- Develop a calmer presence
- Communicate with intention
Three Parts. One Transformation.
Habits — The Foundation
Discover what habits really are, how they’re formed, and why so many of your reactions happen on autopilot. You’ll learn how to recognize your patterns and start reshaping them on purpose instead of by accident.
Feelings — The Internal Language
Feelings are your brain’s interpretation of your experiences. Here, you’ll explore “feeling habits,” emotional conditioning, and the patterns that quietly shape how you see yourself and others.
Communication — Your External Impact
Once you understand your habits and feelings, communication becomes clearer. You’ll learn how tone, inflection, and delivery change everything—and how to respond instead of react.
Practical Reflection Exercises
Throughout the book you’ll find prompts and reflection points that help you apply what you’re learning in real conversations at home, at work, and in stressful moments.

The truth is…
