Becoming Aware: Episode 329

When we notice an emotion such as envy or anger, we might identify with it, attempt to deny it or resist it, or we might simply acknowledge it.

If we notice it without judging it, we might find very quickly that it passes.

Then we can take it one step further and ask, “What is the assumption that caused me to feel that emotion?”

In the case of envy, the assumption might be something like “Everything must be about me!” which we can start to see is not true.

In the case of anger or frustration, it might be “The world should not be like this!”

We might punish ourselves, believing that we have some problem for thinking or feeling this way. In fact, it is normally a positive thing when we notice these emotions, because it means we can begin to change.
