My Emotional Facade
 
Each of us creates and maintains an emotional facade to regulate how we choose to interact with our world and to utilize self-talk.  
 
This personal system of filtering our emotions with self and others can be more 'open' or more 'closed' and protective according to our choices.   Like the clothing we wear, most of us utilize a layered emotional system that is thick and heavy when we feel the need for protection and light or almost non-existent when we feel safer.   Our choice for presenting ourselves to others is frequently based on 'what works' for us as well as the input we receive from others on what 'looks good' on us.
 
A better understanding of our personal facade system can be a healthy and essential aspect of self-study as we make choices for living a positive lifestyle.
