Difficult Emotions: Why We Hold On & Learning To Let Them Go

We rarely hear people saying, "Wow I've been so happy my whole life!" What we most often hear is, "I'm always so angry/sad/anxious." Why is it that we get stuck with these difficult emotions that never seem to go away, while the happiness comes and goes so quickly?
In this talk, we will explore why these difficult emotions become "trapped," and discuss the practice of Sitting With Emotions. After listening to this talk, go to my guided meditation titled "Sitting with Difficult Emotions."

really helpful- such a clear practical perspective on my more difficult emotions. I will view things better going forward. Remind my self not to distract and be gentle to myself. this is great!!!❤️

There's a lot here. Interesting ideas, lots of which seem very reasonable but I am finding myself feeling resistant to this. Which is weird because I do a lot of sitting with my feelings! Still, it's a work in progress for me, so the more ways to think about it the better. I'll need to try and listen to this a few times though, I think, before it sinks in. Thanks for this gift.

Oh WOW… this is profound!!!!
