Fantastic response to the qotw @riverflows! I think my daughter would really benefit from reading it too! Especially learning how to map.

"We can try to direct love and compassion toward the object of our anger rather than identify with this emotion. Sometimes we might recognise this anger toward ourselves and direct compassion at our own hearts: ‘it’s okay darling, I know you’re frustrated. You’ll be okay. Just wait for it to pass’ rather than ‘owning it’ completely – as in “I’m really angry” and allowing yourself to be inherently and completely angry, for whatever reason we think might justify this!"

My thoughts exactly and I completely agree that owning your emotions only justifies them. Being mindful of them and looking for ways to address the events that have given rise to them is certainly more important. Thank you for sharing your thoughts you really are beautiful beacon of light. 💗
