What to Do Instead of Bypassing

So if we stop bypassing, what do we do instead?

We stay.

Not forever. Not because discomfort is inherently good. And not because we need to wallow in every difficult emotion that comes along.

We simply practice staying present long enough to notice what’s actually happening before we rush to avoid it, fix it, reframe it or make it disappear.

In this final installment of Bypassing Bites, we bring the series together with a simple practice for meeting uncomfortable moments differently: notice, name, stay and choose.

What am I feeling? What am I trying to avoid? Can I stay with this sensation for just a little longer? And if I weren’t trying to escape this feeling, what would I choose to do next?

Because emotional mastery isn’t getting so evolved that uncomfortable feelings stop showing up. It’s becoming increasingly capable of staying with yourself when they do.

Your final Bypassing Bite:
What becomes possible when discomfort is no longer an emergency?
