Mini Talk: Busting Myth About Negative Feelings

An introspective journey through the labyrinth of human emotion. This track explores the complexities of the inner world, acknowledging the shadows alongside the light. With a delicate touch, it invites listeners to embrace the full spectrum of their experiences, from the depths of sorrow to the heights of joy. It encourages challenging the perceptions of negativity and embracing its transformative potential.
Negative emotions like fear, anger, and sadness can alert us to danger or a problem that needs to be addressed. For example, anger indicates that our boundaries have been violated & we need to stand up for ourselves. Negative emotions can also motivate us to make positive changes in our lives. For example, feeling guilty about something we did can motivate us to apologize or make amends. To summarise, negative emotions are not inherently bad, and if we befriend them they can serve us.
