Focusing our attention on developing and celebrate just some kind of emotions like happiness, joy and removing other ones is part of the education for most of us. “You should be happy!” “You should be positive!!” everybody say. Of course, trusting in the future is essential for healthy living. However, emotions like fear, sadness, shame exist for a reason and pretending they don’t exist or classifying them as “negative” can be dangerous. We learn to hide a vast category of emotions that we call negatives since we’re teenager to other people and also o ourself. We’re not fun when we’re sad, or anger, people could avoid us because our smile looks not large enough! Here's how we learn to lie to other people, and to us making that a habit. We blind our inner eyes and put a piece of us in a cage. It would seem a situation without a way out, but it’s not. Removing the blind and opening the cage is a step by step process that could emprove the quality of your life and your future allows you to discover your real you and live a happy life. Ready to know the 3 Myths about “Negative Emotions”, and live a more meaningful life? Myth Number ONE: “Leaving out your negative emotions is the solution to solve your problems positively.” Actually, it's quite the opposite. In fact, as the social science researcher, empathy pioneer and best seller author Karla McLaren says: “Emotions evolved over millions of years to help us become socially successful primates, and every single one of them is vital to our functioning. We can’t leave any of them out if we want to live whole lives with all of our skills and all of our intelligence intact." Emotions are vital because they're the fist step towards your future. In fact: Emotions create choices (most often than you think) Choices create Actions Actions create Future. Emotion is the first step to create your future. If you can't read and master your emotions properly other people decide for you and you build a life that you don't want.This can cause depression, emotional disorder, and sadness for example.The genius inside all of our emotions is the most intelligent and sophisticated system. It tells you what works and what’s not, instantly. It says you when you can breathe openly and relax your shoulders, when you must contract your muscles and go like a runaway train and everything in between. Learning to listen to it puts you hundreds of miles forward many others people and gives you the ability to make better decisions and live a fulfilled live. Myth Number TWO: “Negative emotions are bad” The truth is that most of the people are lazy! That’s the reason many of them don’t like sadness, anger or depression. They know all these emotions are a call to action. You have to use them to create what you want. They require attention and commitment, that's why people use to pretend they don't exist, so they don't need to work!However, that they give up their happiness doing that in the long run. “The Myth of negative emotions make you less emotionally skilled, less competent, less functional-and and the long run, less happy.” Karla McLaren +plus: Emotions don’t go away when we hide them. They’re still there. If you pretend they don’t exist, they immediately come up as physical discomforts. As Carl Jung said, ‘What you resist persists.’ Myth Number THREE: “I'm different, my emotions are too much, they overwhelmed me” Did you ever think that? If yes, you’re lucky for two reasons: • You have the access to a vast range of emotions. That means you are able to develop a high level of emotional intelligence. Your color palette is larger than other people’s palette, being more present in life and use your colors to create your own journey is easier for you. • Emotions come in group, cluster or swarm anytime for everyone, be conscious about that means that your vocation as an "emotional listener" is huge.
