At the risk of sounding a bit silly, we have a pretty unreliable bus service. Yielding to the fact the bus is late and I can't change what is I end up a whole less sore (from holding my body so tense because I am angry) and in a much better frame of mind. Once I realised this quite early on in my practice I've tried to make this part of being aware of my state of mind and body.
Sometimes yielding to what is hurts. My husbands grandmother has passed away. Accepting grief and the grief of his family rather than somehow trying to brace against it means feeling my pain. But it is also a relief not to waste emotional energy trying to battle my feelings.
Fear of letting go
