Running away from your feelings

"I made a mistake"

It's often a hard statement to make

We love to be right

The feeling associated with the admission of failure is tough to bear

But if we can be ok with it, that is freedom

Since we won't be living in fear

Try practising

For 5 mins

Sit, close your eyes

Ask your mind to show you a mistake you have made, or a future you are nervous about

When something comes, put your attention on your body and embrace the sensations

Sit

Not wishing any of it to go away

Or increase

Notice your breathing

If your attention goes to your thoughts, bring it back to the body

No judgement

No agenda

Or fixing

Only noticing

Afterwards, see if you stand taller

You might have more energy. More decisiveness

Have a great day
