What makes them *powerful*?
Imagine you have a super strong toy car. When it zooms past you, you can’t help but feel excited, that’s like having a powerful feeling! Powerful feelings are the same: they're so big and intense that they make your heart beat faster, your face get all bright or even tear up.
How do they work?
Think of your feelings as a loudspeaker. When you have a little feeling, it's like whispering. But when you have a powerful feeling, it’s like the speaker is turned all the way up, you can hear it from across the room!
Sometimes, powerful feelings even make you want to run, jump, or hide, just like how your toy car might crash into something if it goes too fast!
