 Try this this year with painful, difficult emotions. Say to these emotions, you are welcome here. You are welcome here. Say that to the pain. You'll be surprised how much it instantly diffuses the pain. The moment you start to accept it, make peace with it, with something said even out loud, if you're safe to do it out loud, when it comes up in you, when you feel that pain, that emotion to say to it, you're welcome here. I'm not afraid of you. What have you come to teach me? What can I learn here? How will this make me a better human? How can I help other people with what I'm gonna learn from you? If you will meet pain that you are resisting and we all are resisting pain somewhere, if we can learn to lean into it, you will begin to dissolve it rather than add to it. So much of our attempts to fix our problems in our lives are adding to them, like the avoidance. But when you are facing accept pain, it becomes some form of dissolving them and dissolution is the solution that we don't talk enough about.
