Feelings come and go.

Feelings come and go. The attention we give to our emotions makes them important or insignificant. Those are wise words, but how do we do that in an actual situation when triggered? How can we avoid the unfortunate words slipping?

Begin by observing your body sensations. Your body tells you much earlier when a feeling arises. Use this slight advantage to decide to pause or do something.
