[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure if this belongs in religion since it’s more spirituality, but wasn’t sure what else to put it. I recently read Pema Chodrons “When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times“. She talks about instead of avoiding pain and discomfort, sitting with it or running toward it. I’ve heard so many spiritual teachers talk about sitting with fear/ anxiety, but I have to be honest. I don’t even know what that means. If I’m in a doctors appointment worried about a procedure. What does it mean to sit with that fear instead of avoiding it? Does this make sense to anyone or is anyone else confused by this? Just interested on different perspectives. [/quote] I'm not religious or spiritual. What I am is optimistic. I can always see the bright side. When things are bad, I'm sure they'll get better. They always do. Lucky me.[/quote]
