We experience them differently and the emotions of mad, sad, and fear are not negative or bad. What makes them “negative” is when the thoughts label them as such and interact with our behaviors or beliefs, or actions.\nOne way to cope with depression is to acknowledge that you don't feel any emotions, then begin adding movement slowly.\n\n\"You can follow your dreams and make your goals. Become friends with your emotions, honor them, give them space to move, and our creativity, passion, and motivation will blossom.” - Dona Joy Airey\n\nConnect with Dona Joy Airey:\n\nWebsite: https://www.facebook.com/djairey\n\nEmail: dona@transformingwithin.com\n\nPhone: 502-420-9911\n\nLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey\n\n\n\nTo submit questions:\n\nJoin the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/makingsenseofemotions/\n\nEmail me with \"Podcast Question\" in the subject line. \n\nAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
