Life can be frustrating; this is a known and accepted fact especially when you have added expectations and attachments to certain events, people or possible outcomes. Remember Precious Hearts there are many dear ones among you that have made the same mistakes you have, suffering and pain is part of your existence and it is not a part of your life just to make you sad, depressed or miserable. Any amount of suffering you experience is filled with positive life lessons that help prepare you for future experiences. Through any suffering or pain that crosses your path, you learn what it means to be tolerant, you practice patience and you learn how to persevere – in other words you become stronger and you are able to appreciate happiness when it lands on your lap.
When situations seem to become too large, take a look at your emotions; focus on how you are feeling. It is vital for you to be aware of what is going on inside your mental and emotional faculties. When thoughts and feelings become heavy remember dear ones it is always up to you to determine just how long these kinds of feelings are permitted to stay. Acknowledge them, give thanks to them, learn from them and move on. Shower yourself with love and compassion as you move in and out of circumstances and situations that have upset you. The more you are able to control your emotional and mental behaviour the less likely you will respond with angry outbursts, possibly choosing words that cut others that cannot be retracted once they are unleashed. When you are able to truly recognize your own interdependence, you realize you truly do not have to take everything so personally. All experiences that you greet can be acknowledged without harsh criticism but with comprehension and compassion.
When you have decided to give yourself love and compassion, you are also coming to the realization that you really need to approach your negative emotions with a balanced awareness. You neither suppress them nor exaggerate them – they are there and you are able to relate to them without judgment. Meeting your negative emotions with a balanced approach allows you to see other situations with others in a larger perspective. You demonstrate an innate willingness to observe your own negative thoughts and emotions with candidness and intelligently in an embrace that demonstrates your own mindful awareness of your Self when your emotions and feelings are out of character. Comprehend Precious Hearts; mindfulness is a non-judgmental state of mind and being. Your mind during this peaceful state is able to observe, think and feel yet not criticize or feel compelled to cause harm. Of course you will feel pain and you will feel compassion for yourself and for others, but when you come through from a state of mindfulness you are not allowing any negative emotions or feelings to sweep you away.
Self-pity is a common state for many dear ones when they become absorbed with their own problems and forget there are others around them that also have problems and situations to work through. Many times Precious Hearts, you are unaware of the disconnection that is made when you ignore other people have feelings or are suffering also. Self-pity is actually the Ego largely at work, exaggerating certain feelings that bring about even more pain and suffering. When you give yourself compassion instead of self-pity you are able to relate your experiences of your Self and with others without feeling isolated or disconnected. Many that fall into the self-pity trap become victims of their own emotional upheaval and they find it incredibly difficult to step back from their current predicament in order to gain a fresher perspective. Any time you bring compassion into your situation, regardless how difficult your situation is, you are able to recognize a broader spectrum of possibilities and outcomes. Even though you may be dealing with some heave stuff right now Precious Hearts, so are others and some of what is being experienced by others may be worse by comparison or less. Maybe what you consider in your life as suffering isn’t so bad when you take the time to observe another person’s suffering – then true compassion will be able to take root and makes its home inside of you where you are able to offer empathy, love and compassion to yourself then to others.
