Develop mindfulness skills to build emotional resilience from "summary" of The Happiness Trap Pocketbook by Dr Russ Harris,Russ Harris,Bev Aisbett
Mindfulness is a powerful skill that can help us deal with difficult emotions and build emotional resilience. By being present in the moment and observing our thoughts and feelings without judgment, we can develop a greater sense of self-awareness and control over our reactions. Instead of getting caught up in our emotions and letting them dictate our actions, we can learn to step back and see them for what they are – passing mental events that do not define us. When we practice mindfulness, we create space between ourselves and our thoughts and emotions. This space allows us to choose how we respond to challenging situations, rather than reacting automatically. By cultivating this ability to pause and reflect before acting, we can break free from unhelpful patterns of behavior and make more intentional choices that align with our values and goals. Mindfulness also helps us to accept uncomfortable emotions without trying to suppress or avoid them. By acknowledging and allowing our feelings to be present, we can prevent them from escalating and taking control of our lives. This acceptance does not mean that we have to like or agree with our emotions; it simply means that we are willing to experience them without resistance. By developing mindfulness skills, we can build our capacity to withstand life's ups and downs with grace and resilience. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by difficult emotions, we can meet them with openness and curiosity, knowing that they are a natural part of the human experience. This shift in perspective can help us navigate challenges with greater ease and adaptability, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
