The nine emotions that make us human.

How many of them are positive?

There's 9 basic emotions we all have that make us human:

Joy, anger, love, shock, sadness, fear, disgust, curiosity and guilt.

Notice something? Yep, only 3 of out 6 are considered 'positive' or 'good' - that means two thirds of emotion experienced by you will not feel so great, at least a lot of the time. But that's ok - welcome to what it's like being a human. Welcome to ACT.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy helps you accept painful thoughts and feelings brought on by difficult emotions in a way that's workable. Happiness is not the goal, a rich and meaningful life is.
