Is ignoring negative emotions helpful?

People say that we need to find happiness. Yeah, it's true. Without happiness what our life could be? But does being happy mean we can not feel sad? Do we need to hide and skip our negative emotions to be happy?

I guess you know the answers. No. Happiness doesn't mean we can not experience negative emotions. But you will notice how you feel pressure during your sad days to be happy. Not only that you will find many who jump on trying this or that to make themselves happy. An unknown fear keeps us running, hiding our pain, and push ourselves to do things so that we can feel happy.

There's no need to say that this practice is not healthy. Negative emotions are also part of us. We should not find ways to skip and hide them. Better we should practice how to deal with them better. Time will sure erase our pain. We just need to know how to spend those painful time mindfully. For example, if something happens and you feel like crying, the cry. If you can't express your true feeling right at the moment, do it when you are alone. But don't hide it.

And talking about mindful, I can not let it go telling how helpful mi fullness can be to deal with our negative emotions. It's like being forced what's going on inside us, what makes is feel that way and finding the cure. You don't have to rush to make you feel happy. Just be you, relax, do what you like to do and your negative emotions will be gone.

Never push yourself hard to feel happy, otherwise you will end up losing the real feeling of happiness. Let your negative emotions come on the way and deal with it in a positive way.
