A note from Sean
If we resist a feeling, it usually sticks around or gets pushed down. If we open to it, we can tend to it and befriend it. That is what this worksheet practices.
Try this today. The next time a hard feeling shows up, put a hand on the place where you feel it. Picture a puppy shaking in your lap. Speak to the feeling the way you would speak to that puppy, in a low, soothing voice. One minute is enough.

This suits anyone who is harder on themselves than they would be on a child or a pet. If the feeling is grief, fear, or something old, go gently. Stop when you need to.
