BIRD-WATCHING I got this from Buddhify. The idea is, pretend you’re a bird-watcher. In a hide, observing the birds of your own thoughts. You ID the bird. ‘Oh, there’s the fear bird.’ Rather than grabbing it, or feeding it, or trying to scare it away, none of which a bird-watcher would ever do, you just watch it with objective curiosity. It’s not a bad bird; it just is. Then, it’ll fly away.
