INSTRUCTIONS
Next time you experience an emotional outburst, don't focus on the reason.
Just tell yourself quietly and very firmly, Switch it off.
Don't try to reason with yourself or find excuses for your behavior.
No point getting angry without yourself because you are angry, or feeling bad because you are depressed!
You will be shocked – once you decide to switch it off, the mood just disappears for a few minutes! Straightaway you will fall into a gap, a serene silence.
Instantly you are out of the mood and back in your center. Now you will ask, what if the emotion comes up again after a while? If it comes up, just repeat the instruction, that's all! Each time you taste this silence, when you see that you can call up this silence at will, you will lose the respect you have for the games of your mind! You will just feel like laughing at your own moods.
When you learn the art of switching off, you can remain centered in the middle of the most heated argument or the worst mood swing. Nothing can overpower you for long.
