Everyday feelings

The irritation about a co-worker. A habit of your child or spouse. Resentment about your childhood or parents. Feeling rejected by your ex. Stress in a traffic jam. Running late. The line at the counter. Being interrupted. Phone call number X. These are all situations in which your personality is likely to make a judgment. You keep on repeating these interpretations, you cling to the outcome and want to make it real and especially do not want to forget them, because you want to express your blame sooner or later, directly or indirectly. Okay, these feelings may not be very intense. And yet they are all based on the same principle: judgment. This not only applies to the big issues in your life, no, it is a pattern woven throughout your day. So each day is filled with opportunities to become aware of the principles of your personality and let them go, rather than reinforcing them.

Its frantic judgments and all its outcomes is what makes the world of your personality and gives him a useful purpose to fill the time, but that is all. Your personality is always right, and so it must be the other people who "do" something to you, or do not want to cooperate, etc. But eh, is that fun? Or is it a boring and endless repetition of a well-known pattern that does not really bring you anything you want? Then make a start to choose for another approach, and make space for your inner Self. Not having any opportunity to practice can hardly be an issue!

The solution is not "understanding", or "reasonability", like understanding that other people don't do certain things on purpose. Knowing that does not take the origin of the feelings away, it only gives you a different response. "Of course" you do understand that you cannot change your colleague, but your personality would not mind trying! Awareness is your solution here. Become aware that the situation is neutral in itself, before you started interpreting it, and got the free feelings-bonus directly with it. Forgive yourself for having those feelings. They do not mean anything in themselves, and you now make the conscious choice to not directly react to them, even better, you want to use this situation to let them go.

You can start with it today, thus you know for sure that the rest of your life will not remain this boring and endless repetition of the same-old pattern that does not bring you anything you really want. There is another way to look at any situation. Make a start to find it. Inner peace is within you, and does not depend on any outer circumstances.
