More Dharma, Less Drama
When we are caught up in our feelings, there are 2 approaches to feeling better. Our normal way is to try to change our feelings by changing something outside ourself, often someone else. The result of this is usually drama, an escalation in emotions. What may have been a smallish problem transforms into a big conflict and fills the space of our mind. The things we say and do only makes things worse.
Fortunately, there is another way! Dharma refers to using our spiritual tools to pacify our mind, dissolve our painful feelings at their root and re-establish inner peace. And then with a clear mind and peaceful heart we put our energy towards resolving any conflict or changing an external situation. Developing the ability to control our own mind will give us real freedom and the power to change things for the better.
