The truth about negative feelings.

I’m hoping you have heard about neutrality. Some things reach that point only when it’s a mixture of equal amounts of positive and negative. Which means, to make something neutral, you must carry an equal amount of energy derived from two completely different things.

Now.

Focus on how many negative feelings you feel every day. Maybe it’s the thought of failure, the thought of regret, or simply a quarter-life crisis that knocks at your door every now and then. Sometimes this energy takes over us until we lose motivation and get back to doom scrolling, where every content is giving you a pat on the shoulder that it’s okay.

The goal of that negative energy is tricky. It doesn’t want you to feel negativity all the time. Sounds pretty crazy, right? Walk with me on this. The main goal of negative energy or thought is, it wants you to become numb and indifferent. It wants to put your mental state in a neutral point where you start having feelings like “nothing really matters.” And how does that happen? It happens because you carry a similar amount of positive energy and passion existing in you already. The negative force only equals up to that amount to bring you down in a numb and neutral state.

This is the twisted truth.

So next time, when an overwhelming feeling crushes you, winds you up, creates unimaginable chaos in you, remember that the same amount of passion and productivity is competing for you against the lethargic feeling.

Of course, I will not leave without a remedy. The only way you can tackle this storm is to face it because the action you will have to take is to fight the indifferent feelings that follow through after the storm. The moment you start feeling like nothing matters, start working or simply move your body, immediately. You can always start, for example, right now! You got this.
