Most people make the mistake of avoiding emotionally charged thoughts and worries that won't go away, dismissing them as negative. This is a common and costly mistake, as the persistent thought will often express itself through bodily symptoms that can become chronic when ignored. The wiser approach is to face the thought directly by giving it voice and letting it move the body to fully express itself. Doing so can provide insights, lessen the emotional grip of the thought, and prevent potential chronic illness associated with avoidance and suppression. The wisest action is to face and embrace nagging scary thoughts rather than avoid them.
