Be aware of what you feel

Be aware of what you feel

When you are stressed out, be aware of your stress.

When you are irritated, be aware of your irritation.

When you are angry, be aware of your anger.

As soon as you become aware of these feelings you are no longer lost in them.

Negative emotions come and go like clouds, but the wide-open sky remains.
