Listening to feelings

Meet uncomfortable feelings with curiosity — not with hostility or resistance.

Feel what you feel. If it prompts discomfort, hold that discomfort (at least for a moment).

Seek to understand. “Why am I feeling this way? What’s underneath that? And underneath that?”

Allow yourself to follow the thread to its origin.

Our feelings are messages, and in a way, we’re the messenger.

Welcome the messenger and see what you can learn.
