Emotions
Posted by Lana on 10/26/07 in Dahn Yoga
One day I was feeling very depressed. And it got me thinking about all other times when something made me feel that way and how many, many times that happened. And it will happen many more times in the future. But then it clicked in me, emotions I can’t do much about but I certainly can choose not to act on them. It’s kind of hard to explain with words but I’m sure many people discovered the same thing. The fact is that I felt sadness that evening and for many days after. What I did not do was sit at home and felt sorry for myself. No, I went back to the center and took some extra training and went shopping with my Mom and just did a lot of different things. And though the feeling of sadness stayed with me for a while it was not as damaging as it would be if I acted otherwise. That is what I believe means to not get attached to an emotion. And it feels good.
