Your Emotions Are Trying to Tell You Something...

Your emotions are messengers, not punishments…

It’s interesting how when we’re happy and upbeat, we don’t question a single thing about our emotional state.

But the second we feel sad, angry, insecure, confused, or anything in between, we start thinking that something must be wrong.

Our knee-jerk reaction is to run away from those negative emotions so that we can get back to the positive ones.

But see, your negative emotions are trying to inform you.

They’re messengers. They’re trying to queue you into something deeper.

I often think of negative emotions like a crying baby…

Where it’s up to the parent’s discretion to determine and troubleshoot why their baby is crying.

Is the baby hungry? Overtired? Seeking attention? Do they want a toy? Is their diaper dirty?

It’s up to the parent to figure it out, because the baby can’t SAY why they’re upset.

This is precisely the same thing with our negative emotions.

They’re signaling to us through feeling.

And what we do when we feel that negativity is say, “nope. No time for you. Go away.”

That’s effectively like putting your crying baby in the basement and locking the door because you don’t want to deal with the stress and responsibility of figuring out why they’re crying…

That doesn’t solve the problem. That’s neglecting the problem.

When we can start to develop the capacity to sit with our negativity, to be with our negativity, man…. A whole new world opens to us.

A world of strength. Of groundedness. Of discipline. Of wisdom. Of unification.

The joy that you will experience as a result of naturally moving through, integrating, and transmuting your negative emotions could never be topped.

It is true happiness. True fulfillment.

So the next time you’re feeling angry, depressed, grieving, lost, hopeless, insecure, directionless, or any other sort of negative emotion…

Ask yourself this: what is this emotion trying to tell me?

I promise you that if you begin incorporating this mindset into your life, everything will begin to transform.
