Identify your emotions: What do you feel? Take time to realize what you feel instead of ignoring your emotions. When experiencing more than one emotion, try to identify the primary one, so that you can communicate what is really important.
Choose how to express your emotions: First you have to evaluate your current state. Try not to express your feelings when you are angry or upset because you are not in a clear state of mind when experiencing extreme emotions. Secondly, you need to decide who you want to express your feelings to. Next you need to select an appropriate time to discuss your emotions. And finally you need the appropriate setting, because you shouldn't express feelings of hurt or anger in a public place.
Own your feelings: Owning your feelings is very important to effective communication, because accountable for our emotions.
Monitor your self-talk: We participate in self-talk, which is communicating with ourselves when we feel emotions. We tell ourselves we shouldn't be angry or sad, etc. This affects what happens in our lives.
