At This Moment…

Sometimes when you are experiencing big feelings, they can feel as if they are the entire world and will last forever. This can cause us to reject our feelings and experience and suffer more as a result. The simple phrase “At this moment…” can be helpful to name, frame, and remind yourself that this is just your experience at this moment.

For example:

“At this moment…I feel anxious.”

“At this moment…I am worried.”

“At this moment…I am frustrated.”

“At this moment…I feel angry and tension in my jaw and shoulders.”

“At this moment…I am checking out and withdrawing.”
