Negative emotions can take countless forms. They can swallow us completely like intense anger which creates a sudden tunnel vision that simply lets us act out—bam!—and it’s happened. They can be much calmer like excessive grief which can leave us full of self-pity, depressive thoughts, and complete inaction. Or they can be very subtle like “just not feeling like it,” which can stem from different emotions and causes us simply to not do what we know we should be doing (ever heard of procrastination?).
