Negative feels

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

Well, negative often means something counter to positive or otherwise less than, which therefore entails a state one should not feel.

In truth, negative is still a feeling and is necessary, just as much as a positive feeling. Experience cannot be defined as it’s occurring, it just is. Once you evaluate, you miss the experience. Therefore, a negative is the same as positive in that it’s all just an experience.

Embracing the experience, bathing in it, often leads to a life full of enrichment. When judging the emotion such as sadness as “negative” you can learn to instead experience it as it comes, much like babies do. We are humans, made in God’s image intended to feel as God feels, and to judge or do anything more or less than find gratitude to feel something so pure, destroys the moment. Not to mention is a really bad habit to get into.

My strategy is to embrace and breathe inside the moment.
