Tolerating Negative Emotions

Tolerating negative emotions is such a corner stone of not only emotional intelligence, but really just living a healthy and productive life. We tend to talk about emotions as if theyere either positive or negative. Any emotion has the ability t be helpful sometimes, but it also has the ability to be hurtful. It's o pity to be sad, but we also need to recognize when that sadness isn't serving us well. And so many people spend a lot of time numbing themselves, running from uncomfortable feelings - trying to avoid feeling bad makes us miserable in the end.
