How do you allow yourself to feel, experience and move past unpleasant emotions? 

In this episode, I share how unpleasant emotions like worry, sadness, or even boredom can lead to some behaviours we might want to be more aware of. 

If you notice that you often get stuck in unpleasant emotions or that your anger or frustration leads to harder moments with loved ones, then this episode is for you. 

Here are today's 3 reflections: 

1. Can I let myself feel an uncomfortable emotion without trying to fix it right away?
2. What happens in my thoughts, feelings, and behavior when I’m feeling something unpleasant?
3. Can I notice the good moments that may be happening alongside difficult emotions?
