“Okay. I have these feelings. And they’re big feelings. But I can sit with them. I don’t need to act on them.”

Thinking that when needed has made a difference for me. The realization that I am in control and even if I can’t control my feelings, I can control how I react to them was really helpful to me.

“I think, well, I just wanted the pleasure without feeling. But something holds me back. There is in me something untouched, unstirred, which commands me. That will have to be moved if I am to move wholly.”

— Anaïs Nin, from Henry & June; A Journal of Love: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin (1932–1934)
