@NicelyManifest definitely! They are shaping the moment but aren’t the moment. I often remind myself (again, when I catch myself!) that emotions last 90 seconds and than we hold on to them. I don’t know of all that in detail but it keeps me mindful that it’s like choosing to continue in each moment and there is always a point I can stop it and change things. I shape my reality and that feels better and more powerful than letting my autopilot pass by. Reading about IFS helps
