What's so bad about feeling bad?
Whatever you're feeling, you're feeling it; why not give yourself permission to just go with it and see what arises out of it? You're not the sort of person who is in danger of slipping into a self-indulgent pity-party from which you will never emerge. When you're ready, you'll use the tools you have to feel better on purpose.
Surrender and accept. Aren't those two of your new inspiring possibilities? The don't just apply to the sweet stuff, you know.
