If you would like, you can increase the amount of time you spend feeling content, peaceful or happy. “Step One” to begin moving in this direction is to notice when your “buttons” get pushed, just notice. One minute you were feeling fine & the next moment something, unwanted, changed the way you were feeling. It could have been a thought of your own, something you heard or read, something someone said to you or someone else, or an event. Just begin to notice the (internal) shift in how you are feeling.  

This may sound simple but it is not our nature to “catch” ourselves doing something that we have automatically overlooked most of our lives. Be gentle with yourselves as you make your new step. It takes time to develop the ability to “just notice’’. Don’t be concerned when you forget. Consider noticing that you forgot “a win” & keep going.

With love,
