Noticing Not Processing - August 28

When you begin to notice your emotions rather than trying to process them, you open the door to seeing how they truly work.
In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz reflects on how the effort to push emotions away can make us miss something far simpler. By allowing yourself to feel the emotion while resting your attention on timeless inner wisdom and presence, you begin to see that there is always something constant beneath the ever-changing flow of feelings.

Thanks Liz 🙏🏼
The intensity lessens.
I needed to hear this today after a particularly frustrating incident yesterday.
This morning I am aware of some residue of frustration whilst at the same time feeling joy for this new day and the opportunity to carry yesterday’s lessons with new awareness.
Aren’t we blessed to have the chance to ‘ lets try that again’
Sending kind thoughts

A great metaphor I use for this is we are the sky, and emotions (or e-motions, energy in motion, always moving, always transient if we allow it) is the weather. If it's storm clouds or sunshine, it will pass if we let it, and it is best to let it pass, just as the sky does.

Thanks Liz. For me this is the essence of mindfulness..just be with what is, notice the ebb and flow of thoughts and emotions and know that they are all seen by awareness 🙏😌
