Wrong ways of dealing with emotions

New page

==Can you Control Your Emotions?==

*You cannot change or control your emotions.
*You can learn how to be with them, living peacefully with them, transmuting them (which means releasing them), and you can manage them,
*But you cannot control them

We try to stop thoughts, but that's impossible. It's like trying to constantly hold an enormous inflatable beach ball under the water, but it keeps popping up in front of our faces. We can allow the ball to float around us, just letting it be. So rather than stop the thoughts, we can stop fighting them, and let them be, without reacting to them. (Vivyan 2009)
