Mindfulness Of Emotions

Letting each moment “be” is key to staying present in the current moment. Often when we have a difficult emotion, we don’t like it. But instead of letting it just be what it is, our resistance to it actually causes it to stick around. When you find yourself in a difficult emotion, try to relax into it, let it be, acknowledge it, name it, and allow it to pass through its own nature.
It’s totally normal to feel difficult emotions. It is ok to feel sad, angry, frustrated, or having any strong emotion. We don’t have control over what we feel, but how we manage and respond to our emotions is our responsibility.
When we become mindful of our emotions, we learn to respond wisely instead of reacting blindly to any given situation.
