Dr. Julie Smith ON: Unblocking Negative Emotions & How to Embrace Difficult Feelings
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Fluctuating Emotions and Meeting Your Needs
Human emotions fluctuate naturally and it's normal to experience both pleasant and unpleasant moods. Waking up in a bad mood doesn't mean you're failing at life; it could be due to various reasons like lack of sleep or unmet needs. Rather than spiraling into self-criticism, acknowledge the feeling, identify unmet needs, and take steps to meet those needs to naturally calm the emotions. Many people judge themselves for running out of energy, but it's like hating a phone for having low battery.

Instead, we need to take a moment to stop and recharge by identifying and meeting our unmet needs.
