Learning how to get through uncomfortable emotions without having to constantly avoid or distract makes the discomfort lose its power over time. Even the best life will inevitably involve moments of disappointment, anxiety, and irritation. Having ways to respond well to these feelings increases the chances for a happier life.

The more you can articulate, name, describe the discomfort….the more choices you will have regarding how you can move through it.
