Your Inner Witness – the First Step to Release Suffering
The first step to overcoming debilitating emotions or agitating thoughts is cultivating the Inner Witness.
When we want to create positive change in our lives – and especially in our emotions – it’s important to recognize that thoughts exacerbate those emotions. Often, when we believe we’re feeling an emotion, we’re actually thinking the emotion. We’re repeating thoughts over and over again that feed into the worry, anger, sadness, or overwhelm.
