BE PATIENT WITH PAIN
Patience is a way to de-escalate aggression and its accompanying pain. This is to say that when were feeling aggressiveand I think this would go for any strong emotiontheres a seductive quality that pulls us in the direction of wanting to get some resolution. We feel restless, agitated, ill at ease. It hurts so much to feel the aggression that we want it to be resolved. Right then we could change the way we look at this discomfort and practice patience. |
