Learn to watch and wait. Emotions come and go like waves on the shore, so if you can be mindful of them, you will understand where they come from and also that they are impermanent, like everything. If you are sad, even if you are really suffering, you don’t need to become attached to that sadness. You can let it drift off, as a friend comforts you or makes you laugh; it’s OK to let emotions go up and down gently, rather than trying to force them one way or the other.

We often live in a very head-driven world, placing all the emphasis on intellect; what do we think about this, what do we think about that. It is a good idea to remember all your other senses whenever you can during the day. Take your time eating, savoring each mouthful, every taste. Yes, stop and smell the roses, and look around you, at the people you know, at strangers wandering by—how is the world today?

If you are mindful, you can ask your inner self any question you like, however difficult, and you will know the answer.
