The good vibes immediately transform into disappointment and anger, "Why's this happening to me? I'm never taking this train again!"
The unexpected can trigger strong emotions.
Accepting things the way they are make for ease and comfort, by resisting, we create our own unhappiness.
I'm sure you can relate to the above example. It's part of life, isn't it?
Now, stop for a moment and try to recall how you normally react when things go wrong? What feelings and thoughts come up to the surface?
By learning to
let go we can free ourselves from these unpleasant feelings and thoughts.
"Awareness makes for happiness and wellbeing"
The key to letting go is awareness. By becoming aware of our feelings and thoughts we're presented with choices – either we hold on to them or
let go. That's an easy choice, isn't it?
However, normally we're not aware of these feelings and thoughts and tend to hold on to them blindly.
Awareness Through Meditation
Meditation is a great way to become more aware of the present moment. It also dissolves physical and mental tension, leaving you feeling refreshed. I find
guided meditation most helpful. No previous experience needed, practice makes perfect...
Best of luck!
