Conscious living Practice 26 - Let go




When difficult emotions arise, we can choose to pause, and remind ourselves that everything is temporary. Just that reminder will allow us to treat the difficult emotions with care, preventing us from just acting them out. 

Whether we realize it or not, we all have a choice at every moment, on how we choose to respond. We can look at every trying circumstance that arises difficult emotions in us ( getting stuck in a traffic jam, waiting for our turn in the queue, annoying colleagues, cranky kid, etc etc etc ) as opportunities to practice "letting go" and accepting the situation / person as is. 

Nothing is worth losing our peace of mind over. NOTHING. Just learning to "drop" anything that weighs us down and doesn't serve our higher purpose, can restore peace and balance in our lives.

"Dwelling" is the disease of the mind. When we dwell on something, we are not in the present moment. Dwelling on anything, good or bad is akin to being stuck in the past. We miss experiencing the moment in front of us and let them pass without experiencing them fully by simply remaining stuck with our thoughts. Instead of being stuck, we can choose to "let go" of this need to dwell and arrive into presence. Life is almost always good in the "now"😊
