Do you remember the energy you had when you were young? The zest for life that children and young adults have is not just biology. Young people have less energy tied up in their emotions. They don’t have years of memories in their base state. Their simpler base state means they have more mental energy to do what they want.
By freeing your negative emotions, you not only feel less bad, but you reclaim the energy your emotions had been using. You begin to feel like a kid again. Life will feel fresher and new.
Without the constant emotional battle, doing what you love becomes much easier. All your nervous energy can be released and redirected to making your life better. You can feel wonderful and excited for your day when you wake up.
You can channel your reclaimed energy into positive experiences. This, in turn, will remind you of more positive memories, effectively compounding your good feelings.
