#45: How to Discover the Positive Power in Your Negative Issue! I The Dr. Zwig Show

We usually try to suppress or “manage” our depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. But within these issues lies your positive power trying to come forth. In order to discover it, you have to explore and process the “poison” in your problem, not run from it.
Every human quality expresses itself either positively or negatively, in other words, consciously or unconsciously. For example, you can be emotional to share your true feelings but you could also oppress someone with your emotions. You can be rational to figure out the correct answer to something but you could also be rational as a way to avoid your feelings. You can be intelligent to do good in the world or to do bad in the world.
This dual, yin-yang nature of human qualities means that when you have a negative experience, either within yourself or in relationship to a person or the world, the negative aspect isn’t the most important part. Of course, it hurts and you want to get rid of it but it’s only the negative expression of a human quality. That quality, when made conscious, transforms into a positive expression.
Your pain and dysfunction aren’t meaningless mistakes in your psyche; within their poisonous manifestation lies your potential liberation. You must process your issue! This doesn’t mean just thinking or talking about it but rather hunting for your disavowed / suppressed feelings, thoughts, and behaviors by applying processing methods. Doing so, leads to healing, personal growth, inner strength, and wisdom. Today’s episode is a practical exercise for doing this.

This was posted in perfect time for me. I had to step outside at work today because I was feeling down about a situation that has not worked out the way I hoped. After I recollected myself, I decided to look at it in a positive light instead of negatively. I then said out loud "I need some inspiration". Then i searching on yt and find this video, and it turned out to be just what I needed. I love your channel, and I truly love what you are doing here. You support our dreams so I will show support to you and this awesome channel. Much love.

Tell your mind the kind things you want to hear 💚 you are in control of your own mind. What you tell yourself, your mind listens so tell yourself good things and your mind will present just that
