Deep dives

Embracing Emotions

Fear, anger, and sadness often become barriers to experiencing emotional intelligence when they are resisted. Rather than confronting emotions head-on, many individuals find themselves avoiding these feelings, which ultimately keeps them trapped in a cycle of avoidance. The insight emphasizes that if an emotion feels scary, one might already be experiencing it, and that truly engaging with these feelings is essential for personal growth. Acknowledging and welcoming such emotions, even if uncomfortable, can lead to deeper understanding and wisdom.
