1. Anger

Anger, such a powerful emotion. I personally have a hard time with this one. It´s quite easy to get me angry, but even more difficult to end the anger. I've done a lot of things that I am not proud of because of my anger. Sometimes things can seem like a bigger deal when you're seeing red, but what would you gain from lashing out or saying hurtful things? Nothing worthwhile. Anger comes in many forms and for many different reasons. Instead of hurting yourself by being triggered, let it go. Easier said than done, yes, but worth it. It will help you live a better life.

2. Sadness

This could make it feel like the end of the world. If you´re anything like me, sadness could last for days or weeks at a time. Sometimes you may feel like you can´t shake it, but learning how to talk oneself down or motivate yourself is a large part of building your self-confidence over time. When you´re sad, try to focus on the great things going on in your life, even if they´re small; try to focus on the good that can come from it.

3. Hatred

We see evidence of hatred everywhere these days. We have people that hate other races and things they don't fully understand. It is this hatred that prevents them from being open-minded individuals, stops them from gaining friendships, or stops them from living a better life.

Hatred can be a very time consuming and sad emotion. With hatred in your heart, it makes it difficult to appreciate the good parts of others and your life. Nothing good comes from hatred. No motivation or drive can come from hatred because it´s such an unnecessarily negative emotion.

Of course, there are levels of hatred, whether it be biased and unjustifiable, or whether you feel like it makes sense. Even then, I think that an extra effort should be made to replace it with love.

4. Jealousy

I think jealousy is very silly, but I can also relate to it. Jealousy is very toxic because it usually stems from one's own insecurities. Jealousy sucks because it could make you constantly overthink your relationships, your friendships, etc. Just like with every other emotion, it can be easy to just let it run your life, or let it run the way you act with others. However, you will find yourself alone if you do this because this creates negativity in the lives of everyone about you. Since you can't really turn jealousy into a positive drive, you are better off with eliminating the thought altogether.
