This too, shall pass. - The Practice

Notice What Happens

This week, we’ll explore what happens when we remind ourselves:

“This too, shall pass.”

When you notice a pleasant moment, silently repeat the phrase.

When you notice an unpleasant moment, silently repeat the phrase.

Pause for a moment and pay attention to what happens inside you.

What thoughts, emotions, or sensations arise?

Does the phrase land differently in joyful moments than it does in difficult ones?

There is nothing to fix, change, or achieve.

Simply observe.

At the end of the week, take a moment to reflect on what you discovered.

And if you discover that your favorite cookie is also impermanent, please take a moment to grieve appropriately.
