Balancing Emotions is not always easy to do.
It is tempting to ignore them, but emotions are extremely important to us. They are a compass, an indicator, of how close we are to being aligned with our true selves.
Emotions are often thought to work against us, but the opposite is actually true.
Our true self, the best version of ourselves, is a happy, light-hearted, optimistic lover of life and lover of self. That is how we were born and it is who we truly are at our core.
But there are events, experiences, and conditioning in our lives that cause us to notice and feel the unwanted, pain, or distress.
There are many justifications as to why we ignore the emotions that are signaling us or why we act out because of them. But this misdirected and misguided way of dealing with emotion works against us in the long run.
This interview today will focus on the fact that we ALL have emotions, they are there to inform us of where we are in relation to our optimal self, and therefore a good thing!
Let’s learn how to honor our emotions, manage them, and take control of our own happiness. Only you can that for you. No one else can.
