It\u2019s likely that at the moment we\u2019re feeling emotions that we\u2019re not used to feeling on a regular basis.\xa0 Or they\u2019re more heightened than normal.\xa0 Difficult emotions are now part of our reality.\xa0 Whilst I\u2019m a big fan of positive psychology, the media often portray it in an unhelpful way.\xa0 This toxic positivity can make it really difficult for us to be with our difficult emotions.

But if we want to feel resilient at the moment, our emotional intelligence is key.\xa0 This is our ability to be aware of our emotions, even the ones that we feel are difficult.\xa0 It\u2019s common for us to ignore, deny or avoid our difficult emotions.\xa0 When we do this, we become less of ourselves. \xa0 We\u2019re less able to bring our whole selves and our whole resourcefulness to this situation.\xa0 Because, as counterintuitive as it feels, the more we\u2019re able to be with our difficult emotions in a healthy way the happier and more joyful we actually become. Allowing us to ultimately thrive even in difficult circumstances.\xa0
