Let the feeling just pass through

Emotion is not the enemy — it is only a wind moving through the body.

We want so much to chase away sadness, worry, anger. But feelings, like weather, will come and go. Try saying quietly inside, I see you, you are here for now. Do not rush to fix it. Do not rush to distract. Give it a little time. It will move through you, slowly, like a wind. And you, in the end, are still whole.
