Yes.
Especially these days.
So you're in a lineup.
It's not moving.
You're getting more and more irritated and upset.
Or it could be anywhere.
You're waiting, but it's not happening.
You're waiting there or in a traffic time where on the telephone, nobody's answering.
Just you get automated message that says, your call is important to us.
And the Grokswood waiting time is 45 minutes.
And you feel more when you get angry and irritated.
Now, I recommend the following practice because you're standing there or waiting there.
You might as well practice.
Ask yourself, how would I experience this situation if I did not add any interpretation or any thought to it?
How would I experience this moment?
If I didn't add any thought to it, if I did not interpret it in any way, if I just allowed this to be as it is without burdening it with this baggage of thought, it's okay.
Let's say you're standing in this line up and you're very irritated.
So how would I experience this if I did not, in other words, if I did not in my mind say this is bad?
And all the other thoughts that come after that.
Because when you say this is bad, then the next thought comes, my life is bad.
