Take Your Emotions Out For A Dinner Date

By Evan Sanders


Hello darling. You look beautiful tonight.

Thank you handsome. You're always such a gentlemen.

Hmmmm?

What if you could have this type of relationship with your emotions?

It's actually possible.

Now of course you're going to have fights from time to time. However, it is possible that you can have a much more healthy relationship with your emotions.

I'm not going to talk to you today about happy fluttery emotions. Nope.

I'm going to speak straight from the heart and talk to you about those deep dark places in your soul that rumble around. The pit in each of us that is blacker than black.

Anger. Suffering. Depression. Anxiety. Jealousy.

Pain.

All of those emotions are within us whether we like it or not. All of those emotions come out of each of us in many different ways because of many different situations. For many it could be heartbreak. For others it could be losing a job or getting into fights.

But none of us are free from these emotions.

That's what I'm about to teach you...

Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."

Following that logic, the more you tap into the "light" side of you the more access you also have to the darkness. Because as you stretch one way, you stretch the other way as well. That fact, right there, scares the hell out of most people.

But when we have committed to going out into the world and actually living, to chasing our dreams and to being the best person we can possibly be, we change in ways we never predicted. Along with that light comes the shadows and we must be able to coexist with our own shadow no matter how dark it may be at times.

There's a great skill to develop here...

Use every single shade of life to create something beautiful with the experience of living.

In our dark times, we must use those colors to express our more dangerous emotions that scare us. We have to put those paints on the canvas.

Create.

Express those energies and put them out there vulnerably for yourself (and maybe the world) to see. Do not trap them inside of you and let them create chaos inside your soul for too long.

Never stuff things down inside to avoid what's truly going on with your life.

And guess what? It always explodes.

The dark. The light. Make something beautiful with both.
