I’m excited to let you know that I’ve put together a special excerpt from my bestselling book The Mindful Geek. I think it will really help you when it comes to coping with difficult emotions. It talks about the evolutionary background of emotions, where they come from, and what they’re for, and how to deal with them.
Most importantly, I discuss how powerful mindfulness meditation can be for teaching you to “surf” your most difficult emotional highs and lows with greater ease. Practicing mindfulness of emotions will gradually guide you into a new relationship with your feelings — one in which you’re no longer getting bullied around by your emotions all the time. Instead, you will begin to learn how to accept them more and more completely. And that is the key to emotional freedom.
It’s not magic and it’s not a miracle cure. You have to be serious and you have to put in the time. But if you do that, it’s virtually guaranteed that you will find an unprecedented level of freedom in life. A new ability to go places and do things that were blocked for you before — all because you couldn’t handle the feelings that came up when you approached these experiences.
