I like clarity more than confusion. I’ll take satisfaction instead of frustration. I’ll pick tranquility over anxiety any day. And I enjoy solidity way more than dissociation. Seems like a no-brainer. Yet when I remember that I value my long-term relationship with myself more than I value short-term desirable content, I soften and open to whatever content is actually here. That movement from resistance to allowing is one of the foundations of a loving relationship with myself. And within that framework, those unwanted states actually become very valuable indeed, cus when they’re here it’s practice time. It’s game on. I love to teach this Buddhism 101. And apparently (like today) I also need to remind myself of it over and over again. Yes to confusion. Yes to frustration. Yes to anxiety. Yes to dissociation. Game on.
