Accept your emotions but don't get attached to them

Posted by Anurag Rai on November 23, 2021 at 2:07pm in Aberdeen Business

Fear is powerful
Being fearful is not

Stress is useful
Being stressful is not

Anger is helpful
But letting anger control you is not

Accept your emotions but don't get attached to them.

You feel fear but you are not a fearful person. It's a feeling, not you.

You feel stress but you are not stressed. It's a feeling, not you.

You feel anger but you are not an angry person. It's a feeling, not you.

Here's an analogy that may help. Imagine you are sitting on a beach and you are watching these boats go past you. All you have to do is watch and not jump inside one of these boats.

Love this Anurag, thanks for sharing. I'm going to try and remember this every time I get too overwhelmed with one emotion!
