Our emotions provide invaluable information about our deepest needs and values. Yet often we’re taught to ignore, stuff down or control what we feel. This takes a toll on mental health. Transforming your relationship with emotions requires patience, courage and creativity – but the rewards are profound. Start by creating space for all of your feelings, even the messy ones like anger, sadness and fear. Don’t judge emotions as good or bad. Suppressing them can lead to anxiety, depression and chronic stress. Practices like journaling, movement and art give emotions a healthy outlet.
