Let it pass.
One of the most powerful skills you can develop is to let an emotion flow through you without attaching a story to it. Not all emotions are truly yours; some are learned habits or picked up from external influences like videos or interactions with others. Attaching a negative story to these emotions can lead you to adopt a false perspective. Negative stories are never entirely true, or they wouldn’t evoke such strong negative emotions. Let the emotion pass without believing in the associated thoughts or stories. This practice can profoundly change your experience and your life. The emotion will pass, and a deeper understanding will follow naturally. This is a skill worth strengthening.
