When You Try to Feel Happy All the Time

In this episode, I talk about the concept that life is 50/50 - 50% positive emotions, 50% negative emotions - and what happens when we try to deny the 50% that is negative. When we don’t know or understand that our lives are 50/50, when we’re experiencing the 50% negative aspects, we think something terribly wrong is happening. But if that 50% is part of our lives, we’re just experiencing THAT part of our lives. Nothing has gone wrong. However, when we don’t know that, we buffer to avoid the negative 50% and suffer the net negative consequences of that buffering. We’ll look at how to break away from our buffering actions and false pleasures to obtain true well-being and presence.    Watch April Yee livestream
