I strive to be able to do this, to see the beginings of my emotions. So far, I have been practising leaving expectations behind, as much as possible, because those colors the lens through which we experience life. Then, I dissect any strong emotional reaction before I act on it by first turning the accusation I would have for another on myself - to what extent is the pot calling the kettle black. It is often revealing. If not, then I try to identify the fear I am acting from and try to remember that my power cannot be taken from me, it can only be handed over by me by succumbing to my fears.
