LETTING GO OF EMOTIONAL SUFFERING: MINDFULNESS OF YOUR CURRENT EMOTION

OBSERVE YOUR EMOTION

NOTE its presence
Step BACK
Get UNSTUCK from the emotion

EXPERIENCE YOUR EMOTION As a WAVE, coming and going
Try not to BLOCK emotion
Try not to SUPPRESS emotion
Don't try to GET RID of emotion
Don't PUSH it away
Don't try to KEEP emotion around
Don't HOLD ON to it
Don't AMPLIFY it

REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTION
Do not necessarily ACT on your emotion.
Remember times when you have felt DIFFERENT
