I think most people are tired of COVID posts, but Gen Z (young adults and teens) report some of the highest stress levels of every other generation during the COVID era.

Were we misguided? Stress and anxiety (and suffering in general) is always associated with being something we want to avoid.

But we need negative emotions. YES! We NEED negative emotions. Not only that, but we need to start embracing them instead of avoiding them.

It’s important to realize that stress and anxiety are what has kept has safe since the dawn of time. It’s an impulsive part that tells you that you need to keep moving forward.

👉 The stress of having that 11:59PM deadline creep up on you makes you work faster and more focused.

👉 Meeting with a Founder and/or CEO makes you more conscious of phrasing, body language, and the value of preparation.

Negative emotions signal to us that there is something there and that we need to push forward. We need them. They have utility and embracing them allows you to tap into it.
