Feelings arise as reactions to important life events and serve to generate feelings, arouse the body to action, and generate motivational states. Emotions are multidimensional, subjective, biological responses that prepare the body for adaptation through energy mobilization. They direct attention, coping behavior, and communication through expression and body language.
