Showing results for "Bad for Good" in Emotions

We tend to think about bad feelings—feelings like anger, envy, spite, and contempt—as the weeds in life's garden. But this isn't quite right, according to philosopher Krista K. Thomason. Bad feelings are the worms, not the weeds. They're just below the surface, and we like to pretend they aren't there, but they serve an important purpose. Thomason draws on insights from the history of philosophy to show what we've gotten wrong about bad feelings and to show listeners how we can live better with them.

Being an adult is hard. When you’ve experienced difficult – and often traumatic – childhood adversity, it can feel as if you’ve been given an impossible task with no directions on how to achieve it. You are not alone; many people struggle with those same insecurities and difficulties. From building character to learning how to give and receive love, you can learn how to shape new habits and release yourself from the childhood hang-ups holding you back.

Las emociones son una parte esencial del ser humano, incluyendo la ansiedad. La ansiedad aparece cuando la mente determina que es necesario para manejar ciertos momentos, situaciones o cuando es percibido como apropiado. Sin embargo, si la ansiedad se manifiesta como una preocupación excesiva que lleva a un miedo irracional, a comportamientos poco saludables o a dolor físico, entonces hay un problema. La buena noticia es que la ansiedad no te impedirá vivir una vida hermosa; lo único que debes hacer es manejarla bien.
