For me the secret is accepting its temporary nature, that things change, to not look after happiness. Enjoy it when there, take care of my wellbeing as much as possible, and take things as they come,
without creating excess worry out of a bad situation. I'm practicing:)

@elafina So much this. Not to mention, not trying to be positive all the time either. That isn't realistic.

@MoonlightLullaby it also doesn't bring acceptance but resistance to what is..
Trying to be positive is good, but from the root, on focusing on one's well being, nourishment and calming practices,
not when one is feeling other feelings.
We need to feel our feelings...

@elafina We totally get each other! I have a post somewhere regarding this very subject, but more in depth.

So very true, they're there to teach and guide us in some capacity; negative or positive.💟

@elafina This is pretty valid. To find happiness in the present.
