Let go of negative emotions to find peace from "summary" of The Art of Happiness - 20th Anniversary Edition by The Dalai Lama,Howard C. Cutler
Negative emotions can be like a heavy burden that we carry around with us, weighing us down and preventing us from experiencing true peace and happiness. These emotions, such as anger, resentment, and jealousy, can consume us and cloud our judgment, making it difficult to see things clearly and objectively. When we hold onto these negative emotions, they have the power to control us, dictating our thoughts and actions in ways that are harmful to ourselves and others. In order to find peace and happiness, we must learn to let go of these negative emotions, releasing ourselves from their grip and allowing ourselves to move forward with a sense of lightness and freedom. This process of letting go involves acknowledging the existence of these emotions, accepting them for what they are, and then actively choosing to release them from our minds and hearts. By practicing mindfulness and self-awareness, we can begin to recognize when these negative emotions arise within us and take steps to address them in a healthy and constructive manner. This may involve engaging in activities that help us relax and unwind, such as meditation, exercise, or spending time in nature. It may also involve seeking support from others, such as friends, family members, or mental health professionals, who can offer guidance and encouragement as we work through our emotions.- We create space within ourselves for more positive and uplifting feelings to take their place. We may begin to experience a greater sense of peace, contentment, and overall well-being, as we free ourselves from the constraints of these harmful emotions. In this way, letting go of negative emotions can be a powerful and transformative process that allows us to live more fully and authentically in the present moment.
