Clearing Emotional Clutter

With intention, we can move through our day while minimizing new clutter and without mindlessly leaving messes behind that will need to be cleaned up later.

Attuned acceptance means acknowledging honestly what is happening around us and with our inner feelings — allowing us to integrate and learn from even negative feelings and experiences.

When we pause long enough, we can observe not only thoughts and emotions but especially desires and cravings, which always deserve a second look.

Investigation of this kind often produces insight, cultivates wisdom, and is self-regulating because we are examining our thoughts and emotions rather than letting them run amok.

Through understanding suffering, we increase our compassion, empathy, and universal kinship, and it softens our hearts and makes us more human.
