To be happy.
I don't even think so much in terms of happiness.
I I think in terms of living as much as I possibly can a rich and full emotional life, which means embracing a whole range of other emotions as well, other than just happiness.
When I got back, I did actually suffer from a little bit of anxiety and people said to me, Do you want to go and see a therapist?
And I said, No, I don't really want to.
If it if it
Yeah.
But I actually want to sit with the feeling and have the experience of it because I again I think that we tend to divide different emotions up into positive and negative categories, which I think is kind of wrong.
There's nothing negative about sadness.
There's nothing negative about waking up in the morning and feeling grumpy, glum, gloomy, all those lovely old words that my mother used to use, but nobody uses anymore.
The word depression is used to be.
cover all of those and I think that it's part and parcel of our lives to have this range of emotions and we should just embrace them.
And if you're sad, be sad.
If you're unhappy, be unhappy.
Just kind of sit with the emotion of being feeling whatever you're feeling.
Because it will pass.
And the same thing of course applies for when you're really happy and you're on top of the world 'cause you've just fallen in love or one lotter or something.
That will pass as well.
