All emotions, pleasant and unpleasant ones, are a natural part of us, humans. We eat, we breathe, we feel emotions. They are a way of engaging with the world. It will never fail to surprise me how little knowledge and understanding there is in the world around what emotions are and what their purpose in our lives is… But unfortunately the approach this journalist showed is not an exception.

I couldn’t agree more that “Allowing ourselves to sit with our feelings, the ones we like and the ones we don’t, does not only not conflict with taking care of ourselves and conducting a real life—it is, in truth, our best means for taking care of ourselves and the very essence of a real life.” I just hope that more and more people will be able to discover the purpose of emotions and find a way to build a healthy relationship with them.

Thanks for the article! Very inspiring!
