Researching this topic was a real discovery for me. I feel like I've learned a lot about emotions in general, and more than that, its opened up a new level of acceptance for me and how negative emotions are present in my life.
I definitely fell prey to the idea that negative emotions needed to be eliminated from my emotional repertoire and felt like they diminished my emotional intelligence because of how I responded to them. By learning that not only were they completely normal, but with a little effort, openness, and curiosity on my part, I was able to learn how to better develop compassion and control.
