You
want to go further than emotions because
·
1. Emotions are transient
·
2. Emotions are unreliable
·
3. It is possible to experience emotions
more objectively
The time
and place to find equanimity:
·
There
is an easy choice that you can make
·
According
to it, your experience of the world is
·
Positive
or negative, peaceful or restless
·
The
choice is where you direct your attention
·
Most
restlessness and all negative frames of mind
·
Relate
to either the past or the future, not the present
·
Fear
and anxiety are future-based : what may
happen
·
Regret
and disappointment are past-based : what has
happened
·
They
exist only in your thoughts
·
They
have no concrete reality of their own
·
As
long as you avoid thinking forward or backwards
·
You
will avoid negative emotions and restlessness
·
When
you focus you attention on the present
·
Negative
frames of mind vanish
·
Peace
of mind, equanimity -spring to life
