There is an enormous difference between the thoughts ‘I am feeling bad’ and ‘Unpleasant feelings are arising in my mind’. When we identify with our feelings, we make them bigger and more solid than they are, and it becomes far more difficult to let the unpleasant feelings go. On the other hand, when we learn to view our feelings in a more detached way, seeing them simply as waves in the ocean of our mind, they become less frightening and much easier to deal with constructively.
