Ask what is it that I believe must be true for me to be experiencing this feeling that I do not prefer?

Feelings, thoughts & actions all flow from beliefs.

Beliefs can be easily let go once you become consciously aware that you are holding them.

Don't fight the feelings, thoughts & actions. Don't invalidate or judge them too harshly either. Look for the belief that's no longer serving you.

“To give free rein to the course of feeling is therefore to observe it without interference, recognizing that because feeling is motion it is not to be understood in terms which imply not only static states but judgments of good and bad. Watched without naming, feelings become simply neuromuscular tensions and changes, palpitations and pressures, tinglings and twitchings, of enormous subtlety and interest.“

— Alan Watts, Nature, Man And Woman
