Mindfulness brings ourselves to feel our uncomfortable emotions i. e. anxiety, recognize and identify it. Self soothing with self compassion is a powerful tool; we become our guide and our best friend. Having sovereignty over our inner locus of control with self awareness empowers us rather than having an alloplastic defense which disempowers us. And, as Helen says, when we are feeling anxiety and sadness and simply want the other person to hold space or empathise with our feelings, most people's go to response is to fix us or minimise or dismiss our feelings because most people feel discomfort with other people's distress; it's invalidating because we don't feel seen, heard and understood. It disconnects us from each other. Society doesn't create a safe space for us to grieve; instead it rushes us to get over with it and move on with life so we can be distracted, on autopilot and productive.
I haven't finished watching the episode, but I'm sure of the great lessons in it. I like the dialogue, despite all the modern talk, we don't understand ourselves easily
Beautiful feeling, Thank you so much ❤.
This helped me so much! Tried to stay in the moment the whole time. It was hard, I prepared myself and I feel at peace now! Thank you
