About This Quote

Learning to observe your emotions without needing to act or distract yourself from them. Within that stillness your truest most vulnerable thoughts will arise and it is these thoughts that will show you where your healing work must begin. When you are in the midst of an emotional upheaval, make sure you are taking the time to observe the situation without acting on it. You might think that by doing something you can fix it or take control of your life, but over time this leads to emotional exhaustion because you are too busy doing things instead of being present with them.
