Embracing Negative Emotions

Neglecting negative emotions can lead to an amplification effect, worsening our well-being. When we ignore these emotions, they compound and hinder resilience and relationships. Two common responses to negative feelings are 'bottling', where emotions are pushed aside, and 'brooding', where individuals get stuck in negative emotions, both damaging well-being. Emotional wisdom involves accepting and processing negative emotions rather than suppressing or fixating on them.
