In general, “what” questions (such as, What was I feeling? What disturbed me about that comment? What exactly made me anxious?) are better than “why” questions (Why did I feel threatened? Why did that bother me?). And avoid making demands of yourself or God. Just accept whatever comes from each experience, each day.
Sometimes we just need to sit with identifying the “what” rather than the “why.” To often we try to analyze before we have an accurate understanding of how we feel. Get in tune with the feeling first and how it feels in your body. Where is it traveling to? Where does it start? Where did it stop?
