I used to run away from pain.
I used to think that negative emotion
Was BAD
I used to think that if I was feeling negative emotion, I was wrong
I used to think that having negative thoughts meant I was less of a good person
I used to believe that because I was experiencing negative thoughts and experiencing negative emotions,
that I was unworthy of manifesting the life that I want.
bruh.
I was DEAD WRONG.
And not only were these beliefs and ideas about negative emotions and thoughts holding me back…
I made it WORSE by suppressing these feelings that were coming up.
You see,
Because I had a belief that negative emotions are BAD…
I would try my darndest to get rid of the negative feelings. ASAP.
I mean… who likes feeling sad?
Who likes feeling angry?
Who likes feeling guilty?
Not me.
But yet, we all experience these emotions, and other negative emotions in some form.
WHY?
Why do we experience negative emotions?
Why is there even such a thing as negative emotions to begin with???
I’ll tell you why 😉
Because we’re here, on this planet of earth, to learn.
We’re here to grow.
We’re here to expand.
We’re here to remember that we are spiritual beings FIRST AND FOREMOST…
We’re spiritual beings, having a human experience.
Negative emotions are a catalyst for growth.
When we experience a negative emotion or thought or feeling, we have an opportunity in that moment.
We have an opportunity to choose to stay in the negative state, to focus on our human-ness, to continue the pattern we’ve been living day in and day out
OR
We can choose love.
We can choose, in that moment, light.
We can choose to look at the glass half full.
We can choose to allow ourselves to feel and experience the pain, the anger, the shame, the fear
To go THROUGH our emotions,
To meet ourselves with love in that moment we’re challenged with adversity…
To meet ourselves with love in that moment we’re in the middle of conflict…
To meet ourselves with love, and forgiveness, for ourself and for others.
Negative emotions are not bad.
Negative emotions are a gift.
Without the lows,
How can we appreciate our highs?
Without the pain.
How can we appreciate our joy and bliss?
Without heartbreak,
How can we appreciate true love and true partnership?
Perspective is everything.
Perspective is everything.
Perspective is everything.
YOU choose.
Choose love.
