There are no “good” or “bad emotions.” However, reactions to those emotions can keep us from growing and developing psychologically. These reactions, including avoiding or suppressing our emotions, can also lead to long-term negative health impacts. We don’t need to be victims of our emotions, and we don’t need to let emotions control our actions. In fact, learning to embrace and work through your difficult emotions can lead to positive health benefits as indicated by this psychological study. Using mindfulness strategies, we can work with our emotions, learn from them, and allow them to help guide us into better versions of ourselves.
