Emotional Acceptance Instead of Suppression
When a strong feeling arises, stop trying to suppress, fix, or eliminate it and instead let it be felt at full intensity. The practice is to notice the emotion, make room for it, and allow it to move through you rather than resisting it, which can reduce suffering by changing your relationship to the feeling instead of fighting it.
