Intro, Mindfulness and Emotions

Mindfulness and Emotions

“Feelings are much like waves. We can't stop them from coming, but we can choose which one to surf." — JONATAN MÄRTENSSON

Emotions add colour to our lives, yet we often do not notice them until they bring us either pleasure or pain. By bringing mindful awareness to our emotions, we can learn to notice and label them. Labeling emotions can help us to appreciate pleasant moments, be curious and open to unpleasant experiences, and even notice neutral events that do not create very strong feelings and are usually overlooked.
