Understanding Emotional Agility
Emotional agility is the ability to work with our emotions effectively by recognizing their impermanence and not becoming too attached or repelled by them. By understanding that emotions are like clouds passing through the sky, we can anchor ourselves to the truth of their transitory nature. This agility allows us to navigate emotional storms with greater equanimity and balance.
