34 | Perception and Acceptance

perception and acceptance

if you ever find yourself upset, angry, frustrated or wishing things were different - you're resisting the present moment, and you're resisting what is.  you're suffering needlessly.

 

here's how to work with it.

 

meditate every day.

• we've got some great resources in this playlist
• and this one.

acknowledge what you are resisting.

• notice it yourself resisting what is = being upset, angry, wishing things were different are clear indicators ;)
• write down this thing or these things!

consider giving it some space.

• give it some space by noticing your tendancy to think about it, and deliberately and gently coming back to what's in front of you.
• do this as many times as it happens.

ask yourself these questions, without knowing the answer, but expecting the answer:

• what can be done? what must be done? what is the good or right thing to do?
• look at it from an outsider’s perspective. what advice would you give to yourself or someone else?

give gratitude for the learning, wisdom, and evolution that you will receive.

• expect learning, wisdom, and evolution.  give gratitude for the learning, wisdom, and evolution.
