I definitely agree with you on that one. And it’s also important to accept that sorrow can sometimes be the most suitable response to a situation. Negative emotions are only bad when they’re not appropriate and in good measure. That’s when they begin working against us instead of for us.

People who are mentally healthy can still experience negativity. It’s part of their mental health. But they would only use the negativity to recognize the things in their life that need their attention. At times, you can experience negativity simply because there’s a question you need to pose to yourself and find an answer for. That’s what the negativity is trying to tell you.

Where negativity becomes a problem is when you dwell on it, or when it becomes the focus. It’s the “mistaking the sign-post for the destination” problem.

I wish you all the best, and hope you’ll find more posts useful.

Great post, I couldn’t agree more.

Its comforting to know when we are in a bad spot that if we look for the lesson in the negativity we are experiencing then we will grow and the negativity will pass.

I’d love to be in a position where I was so mentally healthy that I didn’t emit any negativity. But of course I’m not. I experience negativity all the time but you are right, the way to move forward isn’t to bury it but to embrace it and learn from it.

The ebook covers what personal growth is really about and why we’re not getting the results we want from the literature we’ve been reading…

I’ll definitely keep you posted, and I’ll appreciate any feedback you can give.
