Notes from the Underground:
1. Emotions, like weather patterns, come and go — the issue is not that we have emotions, but how we judge them and ourselves moment to moment as we experience them. "Something must be wrong with me" is condemnation coming from an external source, even if the voice is our own. Kids don't question whether or not they are okay until they receive some message/signal from an external saying either that they are or aren't (BOTH negatives, because it sets up for a false world view that says the purpose of life is to ascribe rightness or wrongness to everything, including our emotions).
"I didn't know I wasn't okay — that my existence was a problem."
2. "Mindweather 101, All of Life’s online class, was designed
to set people loose on their own unique path towards
vibrant mental health." — Brilliant!
