of our thoughts and emotions without letting them control us these times of meditation help us become calm and clear so we can act wisely in situations that could lead to conflict or disrespect living a mindful life not only improves our mental health but also our self-control this helps us react thoughtfully and consciously instead of impulsively for example if someone criticizes you in a team meeting for a mistake that wasn't your fault you could take a deep breath stay calm and say I understand your your concern but the truth is that this error was caused by
the system I will work with the technical team to fix it this way you not only defend your point of view but you also show self-respect and composure which makes it impossible for others not to respect you in stoic philosophy mindfulness is not only a way to stay calm and clear but it is also a solid way to build and protect self-respect living carefully is the key to a p peaceful life and earning respect from others let mindfulness guide you and you'll never let emotional storms sweep you away and always keep your self-respect number four

bad feelings taking note of the effect think about how having a grudge hurts your mental and emotional health anger that isn't dealt with can cause worry and anxiety and stop you from growing as a person with empathy and an open mind consider the other person's point of view and goals sometimes recognizing that they are human and that their actions may have had a reason can help you forgive them putting limits on you don't have to let someone back into your life or accept the way they behave just because you forgive them it has to do
with how you let go on the inside while still setting good limits forgiving yourself often you have to forgive yourself before you can forgive others let go of any sorrow or blame you may be feeling toward yourself for psychological growth and healing forgiving yourself is very important it can be hard to forgive but it can make your life more peaceful and satisfy Ying we've all had times of Hope and then been let down whether it was by someone or something the pain and hurt of betrayals often turn into anger instead of forgetfulness my dear friends
