Why do “negative” emotions need to be fixed? When we’re happy, we let the emotion sit and feel it through. We don’t fix it. Why don’t we do the same with anger, sadness and anxiety? I learned the reaction and perception of my “negative” emotions exacerbated them. The shame, guilt and resentment over normal human emotions made them worse. 

I would be anxious about developing cancer and the innate urge to do something about this anxiety by Google searching or seeking reassurance made it worse. Anxiety is not a bad emotion. It is simply uncomfortable. It can even be helpful at times to let us know when we’re in a dangerous situation. If it was truly bad, could it ever be helpful?
Emotions are like time. They’re just there. There is no “bad or good” emotions. Simply just ones that make you uncomfortable but they all come and go and are all VERY normal. 

Emotions can never be right or wrong because they’re just there. They’re inherent to our existence. “Negative” emotions should be partnered with, not fixed.

We can apply this same logic to thoughts. Thoughts that are scary, troubling, anxiety-provoking may be uncomfortable but are they ever “bad”? Thoughts are also inherent to our existence, why would thinking ever be bad? They are one in one with emotions. They’re just there. Claim your thoughts and emotions as your own. They’re yours, they’re your baby. Even if the baby is a little ugly at times, it’s still uniquely yours and a beautiful expression of our existence.
