Many of us are not in tune with our emotions, especially the uncomfortable, ‘negative’ ones. But these difficult feelings, like fear, sadness and anger, are key to our survival as they give us clues about things that can affect our wellbeing and need our attention. So instead of suppressing our negative emotions, it would be more helpful if we get curious about them. For example, by asking ourselves: “What is this emotion trying to tell me?” and “What do I need to pay attention to?”

What Are Your Emotions Telling You? Emotions are powerful messengers. They offer us valuable insights into what is happening within and around us. Yet, many of us often ignore or suppress them, believing that emotions are a sign of weakness or a distraction from "doing" what needs to be done. But what if your emotions were actually telling you something important? 🤔
