The Skills of Emotional Agility
There is a dominant narrative around positivity on social media. But there's also straight up negativety, and i think that both of these narratives are dominant in different ways. Emotions aren't good or bad; they're data but not directives. Just because i feel sad doesn't mean my sadness defines me. And so we have this truly remarkable situation. For decades, for hundreds of years, mathematics and strategy and logic have been taught in our schools. They have been lorded in our organizations as the most important skills. The tragedy is that we are not taught the capacity to experience our emotions in healthy ways.
