“Feel the feeling but don’t become the emotion.
Witness it.
Allow it.
Release it.”
~ Crystal Andrus
“You’re so hard on yourself.
Take a moment. Sit back.
Marvel at your life:
at the grief that softened you,
at the hearache that wisened you,
at the suffering that strengthened you.
Despite everything, you still grow.
Be proud of this.”

It would be boring and dull if we were all the same–placid, unblemished, untested, and uniform. 🙂

‘Feel the feeling but don’t become the emotion’ – Guilty as charged. A great mindfulness reminder though.

Reblogged this on Lorraine's frilly freudian slip and commented:
As is often the case, the words Wendy needs to hear are the ones I need to as well. As to becoming the emotion, guilty as charged. An easy slip, at times, when the feeling be it sadness, anger, grief, jealousy, rage, self-negativity overwhelms. Witness, allow, release — an important 3 word mantra.
Despite everything, she still grows, and I am very proud of her.

A mantra we all need to keep close. I tried witness, allow, release yesterday as I was becoming the emotion. I still need much practice.
