By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it.

通过给自己空间去真正感受消极情绪，实际上你是在处理这种情绪，而不是将其强行压制下去然后尽量不去理会。

Rather than lending at a negative interest rate, you could hold onto cash by, for example, stuffing it in your mattress.

你不会以一个负利率贷款给别人，你宁愿持有现金，比方说，把钱塞在床垫里。
