250 — The Surprising Power of Letting Yourself Feel Bad
What if letting yourself feel bad could actually make you stronger? There's a lot of pressure to be happy or to improve your mood all the time. But sometimes, feeling terrible isn't just OK, it's actually helpful.
Our natural response to feeling bad is to fix the situation or avoid the feeling, which can actually make things worse. Learning to embrace and process uncomfortable emotions is a key part of building mental strength.
Some of the things I share are:
Why avoiding feelings can backfire
How to sit with uncomfortable emotions
How to avoid making feelings more intense
The difference between being sad and throwing a pity party
Why accepting emotions helps you recover faster
How to build resilience by facing your feelings
