One way for us to be with our difficult emotions is with what I call “'a gentle noticing.” For example, "I'm noticing that I'm feeling really depleted. I'm noticing my grief. I'm noticing my sadness or my loneliness."

When we notice our inner world with compassion and gentleness, we're no longer fighting against our emotional experiences. We are able to just be with them. And when you can just be with your emotions, your gentle acceptance defangs that difficulty or challenge a little bit, allowing you to take the next brave step towards what matters most.

A happy or joyful person is not joyful because everything is right in his life; he is joyful because his attitude towards everything in his life is right. anon.
Whatever happens, welcome everything with gratitude. Through the unceasing practice of gratitude, all discontentment, all sour and bitter feelings – they ought to disappear from you.
- Master Beinsa Douno

We receive and we lose, and we must try to achieve gratitude; and with that gratitude to embrace with whole hearts whatever of life that remains after the losses. Andre Dubus

“I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.

I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.

I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
― Rumi
