They seek to eradicate the feelings as quickly as possible. The problem is that many people respond to negative emotions by trying to control them. It requires mindfulness to recognize that you are angry. Rest will give you the perspective you need.Ī question that people often ask is, “What do I do with my feelings of anger, jealousy, and hatred?” What they do not realize is they are already halfway to the solution. We can all relate to feelings of betrayal or loss. Sometimes you might need a vacation by yourself to reflect. Find a song that speaks to your place of pain and sing it out for the sake of all others who suffer for similar reasons. Consider watching a comedy and laugh until your sides split. Have a meal with close friends, and tell them your story of loss, failure, or hurt. So when tragedy strikes, do not react immediately, but rest for a moment. If our minds are at rest, we will perceive the world as at rest. We perceive the world according to our state of mind. Our lives can move at a frenetic pace, but it is comforting to remember that the world is not hectic: the busyness is in the mind. The attendant state of mind will reflect wisely-chosen objects of interest. We are limited in what we perceive, but thankfully we can choose the objects of our attention. What do you notice? If you only notice the things that you consider sad, so too will be your world. The world would not exist at all without a mind to perceive it. These things have reality because we have awareness of them.
We notice some things but not others, yet those few things we do notice we take to comprise the universe’s entirety. We are drawn to certain things in the world around us.
Many believe that there is a clear line between your inner world and the world “out there.” One of the Buddha’s key insights was that this division is arbitrary and illusory.
