The next time you find yourself experiencing a negative emotion try this…
Do not fight it. Accept it. Experience the emotion. Observe it and let it run its course. Depending on the severity of the emotion it may become very intense at times but keep observing. Pay attention to the thoughts running through your head. Pay attention to everything that you are feeling. Do not try and fight the emotion. Just surrender to it. Let it take you over. This may seem extreme.
But guess what is going to happen?
As you continue to just be an observer of the emotion you will eventually notice the emotion diminishing. Once that happens do not stop. It may seem easier to fight the emotion now, since it is not as strong, to just forget it and go on. But don’t. Keep observing the emotion. Again, do not fight. Just keep staying in surrender mode. Eventually, you will notice the emotion will stop, just disappear. It has run its course. It may come back later. But it won’t be as strong. When it comes back again just accept the emotion, surrender, and observe. The emotion will become easier and easier to control.
Love,
Carmen
