Feel like you have to always be the good girl? The positive Polly? Always turning the other cheek? This episode is for you.

There is so much focus on being positive. We hear things like "your attitude determined your altitude" and when we feel the so called "negative emotions" we tend to think that we shouldn't feel them.

The truth is, our human experience is full of contrast and we're not meant to only experience and feel the good feeling emotions.

You cannot appreciate the light without the darkness - Mark Frost

Our emotions are part of us, they make us human and they determine how we act and behave. Sure, we don't want to live in the negative and spend the majority of our time there but we also need to understand that living a fulfilled life does not mean we never feel the negative emotions or experience hardships.

And let's face it. Feeling emotions like grief, sadness, frustration, anger, hopelessness isn't fun! It's super uncomfortable! And yet, I've noticed that whenever I try to push those emotions down in an attempt to "feel better", they linger longer. This is because what we resist persists.

So what can we do instead?

We need to embrace all of the experience that life offers us. We need to embrace to negative just as much as we do the positive because when we can appreciate the dark, we'll appreciate the light even more!

Here's your key takeaway for this episode:

1. You are a spiritual being having a human experience and this human experience comes with contrast.

2. If the contrast did not exist we would not be aware of whether something was good!

3. Embrace all of the emotions you feel.

4. Just because an emotion is uncomfortable doesn't mean it's bad. What does it want you to know?
