Weโre quick to label emotions as "negative" when they're actually just inconvenient to others or uncomfortable for ourselves. There is no such thing as a negative emotionโonly emotions that require more courage to sit with.
If you can't meditate, take some deep breaths. If you canโt pray, simply say thank you everytime you wake up. If your mantra doesn't work, be grateful for what you already have. There is no rulebook for spirituality. What's important is finding out what works for you.
