Emotions are unconscious reactions to the outside world. You can't choose them or control them because they are based on biological instinct. What you can control, however, is your attitude about your emotions. When you are a Wiggle Warrior, you have chosen to have a positive attitude towards ALL your emotions because you understand that they each have something to teach you. When you are ready to learn from your emotions, you aren't afraid or ashamed of them and are therefore able to embrace the gifts and power they bring. This makes you strong, wise, and resilient.

Emotions are not good or bad. They are simply information. Think of them as little friends who have come to visit. When emotions are uncomfortable, they are bringing you a message that something isn't working. Do you need to speak up, for example? Or make a big change? Take the time to welcome each emotion and wiggle through its energy. As soon as you do, the emotion will calm down and guide you to exactly what you need. This is why your emotions (even the uncomfortable ones) are like protective little friends.

Do you know what animals do when they are really stressed? They wiggle to shake off the stress. This is exactly what we want you to do with your stress - WIGGLE! :-)

The more you wiggle, the more you will shake off the excess energy than can lead to destructive outbursts. As you practice, you will find new ways to channel your emotional energy. This is how you can actually "befriend" your uncomfortable emotions. 

PS. It's normal to feel more than one emotion at once. You may feel worried and sad at the same time, for example. Let your body tell you what you're feeling, and be open to following one emotion to another.
