I appreciate so much the recognition that emotions are fleeting, and understanding that does not give them any less validity, but allows us more power to release them when needed - or celebrate their brief existence. As always, I really enjoyed your perspective Ryan!
Knowing that emotions are short-lived is helpful isn't it. We can let go of painful emotions without getting entangled and celebrate the joyful ones knowing they, too, will be gone soon, as you say. Thanks for sharing and for your kind words, Kayla.
Love this Ryan. This is often a first step homework I give to the folks I work with, thought I say "I just want you to notice when it shows up." There's often a bit of surprise to that (myself included) that there's no instruction of what to do, just to notice. And I've found that consistent noticing, consistent awareness, will eventually allow for things to shift *exactly* how they need to shift. Noticing plus a dash of self-acceptance and I am on my way.
I love that you offer a noticing practice to the people you work with right away. And that it helps them develop awareness and shifts things just how they need it to. Thanks for sharing this.
