Episode notes
Worry Is Mental Problem-Making
- Worry is the mind inventing problems about events that haven't happened or re-digesting the past to keep itself busy.
- Singer points out most worrying never materializes and it guides life by internal disturbance rather than reality.
Stop Suppressing Strong Emotions
- When uncomfortable energies arise, notice you tend to suppress them and understand suppression stores energy.
- Singer warns pushing feelings down creates a storehouse that later leaks as mood swings and fixations.
The Three Ways Energy Shows Up
- Any inner energy has three responses: suppression, expression, or transmutation.
- Singer illustrates expression as venting to others, which can temporarily relieve energy but often just passes the disturbance on.
