It’s human nature to want to create two simple and easy piles of emotions: the good ones and the bad ones. For instance, most people would automatically classify guilt as bad. You don’t want to feel it- it might even beat yourself up about it, and you do whatever you can to get rid of it. Likewise, we tend to let good emotions like excitement run wild. We pump ourselves up and feed up the energy. The downfall of attaching such labels to your emotions is that judging your emotions keeps you from really understanding what it is that you are feeling . When you allow yourself to sit with an emotion and become fully aware of it, you can understand what is causing it. Suspending judgement of emotions allows them to run their course and vanish. Passing judgement on whether you should or shouldn’t be feeling what you are feeling just heaps more emotions in top of the pile and prevents the original feeling from running its course. The next time you feel an emotion begin to build , take notice of it immediately. Refrain from putting it into the good or bad pile and remind yourself that the feeling is there to help you understand something important.
