381: Summer Series: How To Get Rid of Ne...

MICHELLE CHALFANT
About this episode

Grief, anger, sadness, fear…YUCK! I don’t know anyone who likes to feel these emotions. 

 

I get emails from you guys all the time asking how to get rid of “negative” emotions like these.

 

But are these emotions really negative? Or do they serve a purpose in our lives?

 

While some emotions might feel more unpleasant than others, I personally don’t believe any emotion is negative. All emotions are part of the human experience and carry information for us.

 

However, they can create negative experiences in life when we get stuck in them.

 

The problem isn’t the emotions; it’s that we don’t know what to do with them!

 

In this show, I’m teaching you how to work through the full range of emotions you were designed to experience as a human and how to get unstuck if you find yourself lost in anger, grief or fear.

 

You’ll discover practical steps for feeling your emotions in a way that allows them to move through you, no matter how you saw emotions modeled growing up.

 

Listen to discover:

  • Why “negative” emotions serve a purpose in life

  • The messages we receive about emotions as children

  • What causes emotions to get stuck

  • Practical steps to feel emotions and move them through you

Emotions are simply energy that moves through our body and creates sensation. And on the spectrum of emotions from love to fear, some feel better than others…but because they are energy, they can ALL move through us (and move through us quickly).

 

Problems arise when emotions come up that we don’t want to feel. We avoid them and shut them down, which makes us more likely to get stuck in these “negative” experiences. 

 

That's why we have to start going INTO our emotions, no matter how uncomfortable it might feel. When you do this, you’ll be surprised how quickly they move through you...and what powerful insights they might hold for you.
