All emotions are valid and must be listened to so that it is possible to deal with them. When talking about affirmations, gratitude, and building a more loving life, there can be a risk of stepping into what is known as “toxic positivity”, basically only looking for positive emotions (i.e. “positive vibes only”) without wanting to deal with the negative ones. But that is not a healthy way of living: when you don’t deal with something, that will just build up and what could have been a manageable thing will then be much more difficult to deal with down the road.

Learning how to cope with different emotions will help grow and truly live a kind and grateful life.

I accept my emotions and let them serve their purpose
