Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit and not be squeamish about taking a good look. That’s the compassionate thing to do. That’s the brave thing to do. We can look at our negative feelings with curiosity, not as enemies to be destroyed but as friends to be understood. Only then can we begin to let them go.
