The way to stop feeling bad isn’t what you think. Most programs promise to help you eliminate negative emotions, get rid of anxiety in 60 seconds, stop feeling bad forever. But that’s the biggest trap in personal development. In this episode, I explain why trying to eliminate your emotions doesn’t work (and when it does, it’s even worse), why every emotion, even the painful ones, is trying to help you, and the paradox at the heart of transformation: the way to stop feeling negative emotions is to actually feel them with full attention, kindness, and compassion.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why getting rid of emotions doesn’t work—and when it does, it’s harmful
- The function of emotions: every single one is trying to help you
- How fighting your emotions creates inner conflict and makes them stronger
- The inner child metaphor: why emotions get louder when you ignore them
- The transformation that happens when you listen: anxiety becomes excitement, shame becomes courage
Actionable Takeaways:
- Stop fighting your emotions. Accept that they’re trying to help you, even the uncomfortable ones
- Listen to the message behind the emotion: what is it trying to tell you about what you care about?
- Practice the 5-step guided meditation (link in resources) to transform negative emotions into positive ones
I’d love to hear from you. What emotion have you been trying to get rid of? What happens when you try to listen to it instead? Share in our community or tag me on social.
If this episode changed how you think about your emotions, share it with someone who’s been fighting theirs. Help them see that feeling is healing.
And remember: may you be happy and do good, and may you be happy doing good.
