Although life is unpredictable from moment to moment, we can be certain that whatever does happen cannot last, and that pleasant feelings sooner or later give way to unpleasant ones. In fact, one of the most important functions of your nervous system is to recognize pain so you can respond appropriately. Pain is inevitable, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Suffering, however, is a function of your mind, not your nervous system. It can be managed.
That’s what we’re talking about this week on Mindfulness Live.
