The amazing thing about allowing yourself to feel bad is that it usually passes relatively quickly...once I allow myself to feel the feelings, then I think it's okay to start to think about what's really happening.
Ever felt overwhelmed by negative emotions and wondered how to handle them? Eric Zimmer, host of 'The One You Feed', dives into this challenging topic in a heartfelt mini-episode. Drawing from his own life, Eric recounts a recent experience of disappointment and rejection, offering a raw and honest look at how he navigated these tough emotions. He talks about the concept of mental and spiritual bypassing, where people try to skip straight to acceptance without truly feeling their emotions.
Eric also introduces the idea of the 'second arrow', the additional suffering we inflict on ourselves through negative thoughts and stories. This episode emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between genuine emotions and negative thoughts. Eric encourages listeners to allow themselves to feel their emotions fully and recognize when they are feeding those feelings with negative thoughts. By doing so, we can learn from our experiences and move forward.
If you're looking for an engaging and thoughtful discussion on handling life's emotional challenges, this episode of 'The One You Feed' is a must-listen.
