10.  No Emotional Awareness. You have no idea what you're feeling or that an emotion is even present. For example, you may say, "I feel like a loser." However, this is an evaluation or judgment, not an emotional state.  Awareness of Bodily Sensations. You have some awareness of "feelings." However, they may only be bodily sensations, such as increased heart rate or muscle tension.  Awareness of Behaviors. You may only be aware of how you would like to act as a result of feeling an emotion. For example, you may say, "I think I feel like leaving this situation as fast as possible," likely signaling fear or anxiety, or "I feel as though I could yell at him," signaling anger.

11.  Awareness That an Emotional State Is Present. You're aware that an emotion is present; however, you may have a hard time figuring out exactly what emotion it is. For instance, you may have enough awareness to know that you feel "bad" or "overwhelmed," but nothing more specific than that. This is sometimes termed an undifferentiated emotional state.  Differentiated Emotional Awareness. We are now getting to the top levels of emotional awareness. At this level, you're aware of specific emotions that are present. You're able to identify the emotion you're feeling, such as sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, happiness, joy, or excitement, at any given point in time.  Blended Emotional Awareness. This is the top level of emotional awareness. You're aware of a number of emotions that are present at the same time, including emotions that may seem in opposition to one another, such as sadness and happiness. (For example, a mother seeing her child go off to school for the first time may be very happy her child has reached this milestone but also sad to see her child growing up so fast.)
