I especially like the part about not dis-owning the so called "negative" emotions or ideas, but rather growing and strengthening the compassion and patience. I have written much about giving yourself permission to feel all of your emotions. It is a crucial step to stopping the stewing. Paradoxically, when you accept your emotions, whatever they are, without judgement, they pass through you and you can get to the lesson that the emotion was there to alert you to in the first place. I'm so glad that you have had a chat with him, now I can vicariously live that experience through your writing! Thanks Sarah! Love it.

And prioritise peace of mind" . There is a situation that I am contemplating (or stewing on, more likely) talk about being stuck in a rut with this situation......I haven't reflected with a pirority of peace of mind...next time my thoughts go down this path hopefully not at 4am peace of mind is the path that I will focus on. “Reflect and stand back from a situation as often as possible and look for the positive perspective.
