RE: Can you remain calm even in the face of turbulent? Practicing Equanimity is the key

in Proof of Brain5 years ago

You're right, this is quite a workable step towards achieving some calmness - disdaining the things you cannot have and ignoring trials and troubles. It is the same approach I try to have, just that I don't try to develop the emotions that go with disdainment like hatred. I try to be unfeeling about things that I can't have: no love, no hate, just unfeeling about it.

Maybe this is why we connected easily

I do this too, not feeling anything love or hate about it

Staying neural helps reduce the heat of the situation

Thats because once you feel something, there is a tendency to be overwhelmed

I just remember someone wrote in one of the entries for the week and he mentioned something I would love to share with you

He said we should not repress ourselves from feeling certain emotions, because we are humans

If we don't it takes away our being human
