Anger, annoyance, and impatience deplete your energy in a few moments. While through wise patient effort our resources are better deployed and this strengthens us in the long run. So we need to practice cooling emotional fires and learn how to soothe and alleviate fierce emotional disruptions in lives. This by holding whatever arises let it be good, bad or neutral in equanimity and the light of compassion.
When practising mindfulness , we cultivate and strengthen awareness enough to take a step back and not merely react. With mindful awareness , we can insert a gap or a pause between us and what we experience so that we are no longer carried away by our reactive patterns. In that little gap, there exist the freedom to respond in a fresh and less predetermined way.
