We try to ignore the hurt and, pain, but we can't hide from ourselves. The tips listed below can help you open your heart more fully and completely.
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running away. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness.
We're often confused at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start this process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome.
Spend time alone
For most of our lives we're surrounded by people: our friends, family members, and strangers. When you spend time in solitude（孤独）, you're free from the influences of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life.
