I Took My Emotions Out For A Dinner Date

By Evan Sanders


Hello darling. You look beautiful tonight.

Hello handsome. You're such a great man.

Hmmmm?

What if you could have a relationship like this with your emotions?

It's actually possible.

Now I'm not going to say that you aren't going to have fights from time to time, but what I am saying is that you can have a much healthier relationship with one another than you have right now.

I'm not going to tell you about happy emotions today. Not a chance.

I'm going straight to the heart. The place where you feel those bad emotions rumbling. The pit inside each of us that is blacker than black and we hate going there because it's terrifying to feel some of the emotions that live in this place.

Greed. Anger. Depression. Fear. Hate.

And a lot of pain.

All of those emotions are within us whether we like it or not. All of those emotions come out of each of us in many different ways because of many different situations. For many it could be heartbreak. For others it could be losing a job or getting into fights.

But we all have access to those emotions and they are incredibly powerful and possibly destructive if you don't know how to skillfully handle them.

That's what I'm about to teach you...

Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."

If we really dive into that logic, the more you tap into the lighter sides of you the greater the access we have to the darkness. Because when you stretch one way you stretch the other as well. This scares most people to death.

But when we commit to going out in the world and actually living, to chasing our dreams and to being the best person we can truly be, we can allow our darkness and our light to coexist together without anything being wrong with it.

The skill to develop here is this...

Use every single shade of life to create something beautiful with the experience of living.

In the times of darkness create beautiful, dark, inspiring, dangerously emotional paintings that express what is happening inside. Watch the paint flow representing the energy that is inside of you and put it out in your own form of art.

Create everything with it.

Express the brilliant chaos in your soul and let the world see who you truly are.

Never stuff things down inside to avoid what's truly going on with your life.

Create something beautiful on the canvas of your life. Create your best self using the "worst."

Paint something beautiful on the canvas of your life with all of the colors available to you.
