Taking Your Emotions Out For A Dinner Date

By Evan Sanders


Hi babe you look beautiful tonight.

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

Hmm...

What if you could have a relationship like this with your emotions?

It's 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 tell you about happy emotions today. Not a chance.

I'm going straight to the heart. The place where you feel those bad emotions rumbling. The pit inside each of us that is blacker than black and we hate going there because it's terrifying to feel some of the emotions that live in this place.

Anger. Suffering. Depression. Anxiety. Jealousy.

And lots of 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 really want to talk about today.

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 commit to going out in the world and actually living, to chasing our dreams and to being the best person we can truly be, we can allow our darkness and our light to coexist together without anything being wrong with it.

So here's the skill to develop...

Use every color of life, dark and light, to create something beautiful with your pain.

In the darker times of our lives, we must use those colors to express and share our experience as it is. We cannot hide from the shadows. Rather, we must use those shadows to our advantage.

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.

Create something beautiful on the canvas of your life with every experience available to you.

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