Go with it!

Dear Friends,

I know it doesn't feel good to be angry, or sad, or frustrated. Our first inclination is to change something - anything - that could be causing our anger or sadness or frustration. What we try to change is inevitably someone or something outside of us. It is good to remember, with some humility, that our anger or sadness or frustration belongs to us. Nothing is wrong. Nothing needs to be changed. All that is happening is that you have a feeling - as uncomfortable as it might be.

Go with it! Go with it! Fall into the feeling. Say hello to it! If your feeling were a person, what would it look like? What would you say to someone else who had the same feeling? Let your feeling talk to you. Let it get the depth of what it is about out. Give it a hearing.

Then...

Warmly,
meb
