One Minute Mindfulness - Accepting Our Challenging Emotions

In this talk, Geoff Bell-Devaney discusses the importance of acknowledging and embracing all of our emotions. He explains how doing so can help us more authentically meet reality as it is in every moment and leave us feeling more empowered and accepting no matter what we might happen to be experiencing.

Transcript

When we're seemingly caught in a difficult inner situation,

The first step we have to take is to admit that it is a difficult inner situation.

We must be willing to accept that at times we are uncomfortable being filled with painful emotions.

We need to acknowledge the difficulty we have being present with ourselves when our inner world is upset.

This is the first step in being true to ourselves,

In being a champion of our spirit.

When we experience an uncomfortable emotion,

Such as anger or shame,

We must first accept that we're feeling it.

This can be one of the most difficult steps,

For our ego and pride do not enjoy being stirred up in this way.
