Staying With The Body | Today’s Practice
You don’t need to understand your emotions all the time, that comes from doing too much mental work. You don’t need to fix them either. Sometimes they fix themselves. Emotional Regulation starts with staying, instead of consistently trying to run from or figure them out. At some point today, pause and notice: • where emotion is felt in the body • pressure, tightness, warmth, heaviness, movement Dont explain it and don’t react to it. Just stay with the sensation of it … and keep breathing. If the mind starts talking, bring your attention back to: - the breath - the body - the exact sensation This is how emotion completes itself instead of continuously looping. Regulating emotions is more about capacity than control. The body will learn safety when you stop leaving it. That’s the work I want you all to practice today. Staying with it.
