The three ways to engage the mind provide a step-by-step road map for moving through an upset. Suppose you feel stressed, hurt, or angry. Start by being with whatever is happening inside you. Tune into your body, perhaps your chest tightening or a sinking feeling in your stomach. Explore your emotions, thoughts, and desires. Also look for what might be deeper and more vulnerable, such as the pain of a recent break-up beneath worries about dating again. Try to accept your experience as it is without resisting it, even if it’s uncomfortable. Be on your own side and have compassion for yourself.
Letting be - allow yourself to experience whatever is upsetting you.
