A Challenge for yr Tuesday ~
Experience the feeling Drop the story line. This takes practice especially if the feeling is unpleasant .
It’s not the unpleasant feeling that generates stress, it’s getting hijacked by the narrative about the feeling. This doesn’t mean we ignore the situation or we don’t need to respond. What often causes on going harm or disease is when we feed the story line.
This is another form of aversion. If things don’t go our way it’s unpleasant. We can make a big story about it, a great example maybe trying to get everyone on your side.
This is understandable when someone is fearful or feeling guilty. Although it’s understandable it’s not useful to anyone.
Mindfulness of feeling is one of the Foundations in mindfulness. Learning more about the teachings on this and being guided in practices to help us be mindful of feeling is a key to managing disease. It’s not only useful in Relapse Prevention with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma. It’s useful to all of us because we all have strong and unwanted feelings.
We all are human. Finding people that understand this rather than judge you due to not understanding this is also key in health. Drop the story line as best as you can today and be sensitive with the feelings that are there.
Namaste
