Negative emotions often arise when you go against yourself, neglect your own needs, or do not receive what you want from others.

There may also be an automatic tendency to always prioritize others’ needs first, which might prevent you from realizing that you are neglecting yourself.

Even if you think you are addressing your own needs, negative experiences can signal that you are not doing what is best for you.

Learn to recognize when your needs are not being met and practice choosing what is good for you. When you prioritize your needs, you will experience greater satisfaction, energy, and balance in your life.
