Research Hit: Experiencing a Wide Range of Emotions is Good for You

In much motivational and popular literature we often find the mantra of “finding happiness” and people associate this with being happy all the time, living in a constant state of bliss. Sounds good right?

Wrong!

Why is it wrong?

Well, first of all, us human beings are fundamentally designed to experience different emotions, it’s a sign that we’re alive. I’ve always promoted accepting and not worrying about all those negative emotions we have. In fact research has shown they are beneficial, can increase motivation, increase creativity, and also help make those happy moments happier.
