Be detached and be less affected. When I see difficult situations I absorb the energy of difficulty into myself and become affected. When I am affected, personality traits driven by fear emerge. In order Not to be affected by difficult situations I must create a slight detachment from what I am seeing. This gives me the chance to respond rather than react.
Today let me give myself the chance to respond rather than react by cultivating detachment.
