Simplified Meaning:
Paying attention to what’s happening inside and around us can help us understand ourselves better. When we take time to notice our feelings, thoughts, and the world without judgment, we start to accept ourselves more. Think about a time when you felt upset. Instead of ignoring or pushing the feelings away, try giving yourself a moment to recognize and explore those emotions. Accepting and understanding these feelings can make them less overwhelming. By being kind and patient with ourselves like this, we build a healthier relationship with who we are and with everything we go through. This process can make life’s ups and downs easier to handle.
