Remember: if you refuse to make time for your deepest self to emerge, the self makes itself known in other ways. This is when you find yourself trapped by intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or burnout. You go and do and achieve and burn the candle at both ends, and eventually you collapse. It’s not a sustainable model. And then you’re no good to anyone.

To refresh your memory: the practice is to breathe in what’s unwanted — in this case grief, helplessness, heartbreak — and breathe out what’s wanted: peace to all beings. The practice teaches us to move toward our pain instead of giving in to the habitual tendency to push it away.
Yet one of the golden keys, one of the ways that we learn to let go and flow in the river of life, is to allow ourselves to feel our feelings.
feel your feelings = acceptance of what is = flowing with the river of life VERSUS avoid the feelings = control what is = fight the river of life and feel stuck inside
We make plans because we want to know what will happen in the next hour, but the unknowable and mysterious force of life could subvert your plans in an instant. The only freedom is to make friends with not knowing. When you become more comfortable with the places of not knowing and explore the gifts encased inside the thoughts, the intrusive thoughts will slowly fade away.
