250 — The Surprising Power of Letting Yourself Feel Bad
What if letting yourself feel bad could actually make you stronger? There's a lot of pressure to be happy or to improve your mood all the time. But sometimes, feeling terrible isn't just OK, it's actually helpful.
Our natural response to feeling bad is to fix the situation or avoid the feeling, which can actually make things worse. Learning to embrace and process uncomfortable emotions is a key part of building mental strength.
