NOTE

Navigating Negative Emotions Through Mindfulness and Acceptance

Suppressing negative emotions can actually intensify them, as the act of acknowledging and allowing them to be present creates space for the emotions to evolve and eventually dissipate. By not resisting or denying negative emotions, one can observe how they change naturally over time and do not remain stagnant. On the contrary, suppressing negative emotions can lead to these feelings becoming ingrained in the subconscious, eventually manifesting through projections onto others. It is suggested that rather than suppressing negative emotions, individuals should allow them to exist, observe them without attaching labels, and witness how the energy of these emotions transforms on its own without any effort.
