Observe the Mind Rather Than Identify With Sadness

When sad or grieving, practice stepping back and observing the sadness rather than becoming identified with it.

1 / 1

When we become identified with our emotion, right? When we were going through a breakup and we're like, oh my God, I become sadness. I become sadness incarnate. But then when you step away from sadness, when you are watching sadness from the outside, it can actually be wonderful.
