Your ability to face unpleasant feelings could matter most.
Feeling capable of dealing with life’s challenges comes from knowing that you can effectively experience, move through, and express eight unpleasant feelings (sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and vulnerability).
Why these eight feelings? Because they are the most common, everyday, spontaneous feeling reactions to things not turning out the way you want or perceive you need.
