The Power in Our Pain

There are No Negative Emotions

Heidi Engel

We hear this all the time - negative and positive emotions, get rid of your negative emotions. I am here to dispel this myth and defend these poor emotions that are being blamed for immaturity and bad behavior. 

There are no negative emotions - only negative behavior. 

Your emotions are not the problem, its your lack of emotional intelligence and training that allows you to blame your emotion for your bad behavior. We ned our emotions, all of our emotions. We simply need to shift the way we think about, relate to and react to the messages that are coming from these so called negative emotions. 

It's time to grow up, show up and become responsible for the way in which we allow ourselves to behave. Have you upgraded your emotional behavior since you were a kid? Do you blame reactivity and emotions for your continued problems? Perhaps it's not the emotions but it's the lack of responsibility ( your ability to respond ~ thank you Thomas Hubl). Let's reframe our beliefs around negative and positive emotions and claim our emotional maturity together.
