Practical Strategies for Creating Space Emotionally

Instead of saying 'I am sad' or 'I am angry,' start noticing the feeling by saying 'I'm noticing that I'm feeling sad' to create linguistic space and detachment from the emotion.

By doing so, you are not the cloud; you are the sky, capable of experiencing all emotions and making conscious choices.
