In our culture, sadness is often looked at with caution and fear. We definitely try not dwell in it.
"Don't cry" is what we are programmed to say when we see somebody in pain.
Sometimes we even go to the extent of turning into skilled acrobats to avoid our own sadness: "must avoid it at any cost" Food? Shopping? Alcohol?
Addictions and obsessions are usually the downside of not dealing with sadness and trying to understand why we feel sad.
Sadness is definitely not fun, and it's also painful. But so necessary.
If you want to truly heal, evolve, and grow; then, you need to go through sadness, and feel the feels!
There's a reason why we feel like we feel. Sadness forces us to pay attention to what matters to us, and see what is bothering or hurting us.
In today's video I talk about sadness and healing.
Have you watched Inside Out? What a great movie to watch with kids!
