He compares it to a car carrying extra weight: the constant strain degrades performance, disrupts hormone balance, and eventually damages the system unless you process and release the emotions.

There are a hell lot of people who, you know, suppress their own emotions. Does suppressing your own emotions can cause you long-term diseases? 100%. So for example, just think about you have a car and you are holding 10 kgs, 20 kgs, 100 kgs, 1000 kgs. Can your car give you a same performance when 1000 kgs of weight you're holding or when you're going with empty? There is a whole lot of difference. Yeah. So if 1000 kgs you know that you are holding and you are going in the speed of 120, what, what can happen to your tires? What can happen to your body? The human body is also same. Every emotion carrying some kind of weight within you. And indirectly, as I told you, it is linked with your hormones and the way your body responds. So definitely, when you're carrying a weight and trying to run, you'll definitely break down one day because you need to release that carrying so that you can fast forward with this life.
