Perspective check

Ancient wisdom tells us: “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

From time to time, it’s worth reevaluating our perspective. It’s helpful to consider what’s taking up our headspace. To accept the wide range of human experience, but to recognize when we’ve prolonged an unpleasant feeling by continuing to dwell with it.

Feel all the feels — the full spectrum — but with open hands, not clenched fists.
