Not getting addicted or defined by our emotions
Being mindful of our emotions - means to me being aware of past beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, memories that seem to inform out emotions.
So by being mindful it is possible to reassess the emotional response and judge whether it is appropriate.
And then be within the situation I am in with awareness and trust and being mindful means I can be fully present - in pain or pleasure. Pleasure doesn;t become the end goal it is one experience. Pleasure can be addictive and become the goal. But knowing that Pleasure passes just the same as pain does is mindfulness. Knowing.
Trust that any person, place, situation will reveal itself in all good time.
