Emotions rise like waves. Instead of resisting, ride them. This practice trains you to observe without being overwhelmed.

Ride the Wave

Think of your emotion like a wave.
It rises. It peaks. Then it falls.
Close your eyes.
Name the feeling.
Say to yourself, this is just a wave.
Breathe.
Let it pass.
