What Are Your Negative Emotions Trying to Teach You?
November 20th, 2009
We mustn’t ignore or mask our negative emotions, but instead learn from them. What are they telling us? How can we use them to move us closer to what we want?
Far too many people make the mistake of masking, ignoring, or numbing themselves to what their negative emotions are trying to call forth. Are we not taking care of ourselves… not giving our heart what it truly desires? Aren’t you worth knowing what your purpose is?
We can choose to see the glass half full or half empty. Use our circumstances to become powerful or pitiful. I for one do not care to be around those who enjoy a pity party more often than not. We become like the people we hang out with.
A few emotions to ponder…
ANGER – what are we withholding from ourselves? What are we depriving ourselves of?
ENVY – a signal that we desire the “thing” we are envious of…
SADNESS - quite often a voice of loss
DEPRESSION - a signal we are suppressing our desires, our wants, and our life force.
DISCOURAGEMENT - our hopes unfulfilled
FRUSTRATION - energy that is lying dormant or misguided
CONFUSION – a sign we are in the process of learning something
Ahhh… we do not grow in our comfort zone – isn’t it time you Live Long Naturally and On Purpose?
All emotions serve to teach us powerful lessons, if we will only listen. Carolyn McCormick
