Emotional Intelligence, Daily. Start now: https://www.theschooloflife.com/subscription/ We look at a toddler screaming in a supermarket and feel pity or judgment. But what if that child is the only honest person in the aisle? As adults, we are constantly told to practice Stoicism, mindfulness, and calm. We suppress our rage, our frustration, and our "limitless sorrow" to maintain a facade of adulthood. But is constant serenity really the goal? In this film, we explore why honoring your inner "screaming toddler" might be the most mature, honest, and healing thing you can do for your mental health. #EmotionalHealth #MentalWellbeing #Adulting #TheSchoolOfLife Unlock all the content of The School of Life with a subscription to our podcast, articles, videos, and exercises, specially tailored to your needs.
