OMG, you said some of my favorite lines in this post, including my favorite: emotions are like weather. I used to tell my acting students that when I was teaching the Meisner technique--actors are interesting to watch when they move fluidly from one present emotional state to another, when they don't fight, prevent, stop breathing and then present from their intellect.

Toxic positivity, trying to think our ways into "happier" emotions, prevents authenticity, trust, connection and joy. Stay curious. Ride the wave. Yes, yes and yes.
