EP 258: Meeting Our Emotions With Presence, Acceptance, and Compassion

The stress response in our bodies is always caused by some level of fear. Fear is an emotion that is often caused by other emotions arising from a given experience or thought. So when we meet our emotions and thoughts with presence, acceptance, and compassion, we can avoid the fear that arises. And in the absence of fear is the absence of the stress response in our bodies. And in the absence of the stress response is equilibrium and happiness. In the presence of equilibrium and happiness we will find almost endless possibilities. #mindfulness #presence #acceptance #compassion #stressreduction #bodyandmind #emotionalinteligence #healthyhabits
