That unexpected discomfort can leave us desperately searching for causes and quick solutions. During a recent period of unusual anxiety, I discovered something powerful: our natural instinct to resist and eliminate uncomfortable feelings actually makes them stick around longer. As I reminded myself, "whatever we resist persists" – those emotions we try to push away cling to us like Velcro, creating more suffering in our attempt to escape them. Rather than chasing immediate happiness or reaching for those tempting quick fixes (the glass of wine, the online shopping spree), I found freedom in a different approach. What if, instead of pursuing feeling good when it seems impossibly distant, we simply chase thinking clearly? This subtle shift acknowledges our current state while maintaining perspective that all emotional states – pleasant and unpleasant alike – are temporary. Martha Beck offers another transformative strategy: "When you're feeling anxious, get out of your head and into your hands." Simple physical activities like organizing a drawer or rearranging items can break the cycle of rumination that keeps anxiety flourishing. These don't need to be productive tasks – they simply redirect our attention from mental loops to present-moment engagement. Remember, we are ultimately our own safety net, and contrary to what our culture often suggests, we don't need to feel good to have a good life. Life naturally includes the entire spectrum of emotions, each with its rightful place in our human experience. Next time difficult feelings arise, try allowing them while seeking clarity rather than immediate relief – you might be surprised by how much easier they become to bear.
