Emotions are just ways of releasing energy
Physically, emotions are just different ways of releasing energy. I used to label my emotions as "good" or "bad" and would suppress any "bad" emotion that I felt. By recognizing that emotions are neither "good" or "bad", but just part of life makes it easier for me accept and work through them. Although I feel more comfortable with some emotions, I am happy that I am finally able to sit through them while meditating or just throughout the day without judging or worrying about how I am feeling.
I recommend that if you are uncomfortable with certain emotions, like I am, the next time you experience an uncomfortable emotion you imagine it as a ball of energy with a frowny/sad/(whatever emotion you are feeling) face drawn on and picture yourself erasing the face off so it becomes just a ball of energy.
@redTree7626 what a wise reflection and it's so truee, emotions are well, just emotions, its us that label it with good or bad and then inherently, anything that has "bad" in it feels extra "bad" to us, makes sense how most of us would repress our "bad" emotions more or be uncomfortable in feeling/ expressing it as compared to the "good" ones.
Realizing all emotions are just emotions and there for a reason, it's okay to feel and express them in healthy ways, is truly powerful!
@redTree7626 Thank you for your very helpful insights 🥰
