You are not your anger. You are not your pain.
They’re visitors, not who you are.
When you’re angry or in pain, it feels like those emotions are you.
You say, I am angry. I am hurting.
But what if you could step back and simply watch the anger, observe the pain, without becoming it?
The moment you separate yourself from what you feel, you begin to take your power back.
You realize that anger and pain are passing states, not your identity.
Try this next time a wave hits you:
Pause.
Breathe.
Notice the feeling as something happening in you, not something you are.
That’s the first step to peace of mind — awareness of mind.
What emotion have you been identifying with lately?
Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
