Our darker emotions are trying to tell us something
Change is a gradual spiral upward, not an on-off switch
Intentional messiness can help you get in touch with your heart
It can be helpful to dialogue with your challenges and problems
Accessing the intelligence within helps us move through challenges and take on a different perspective
