Letting it go.

All psychological suffering is an illusion. It's not the truth. It's anxiety.
~ Martha Beck

Pain is not an illusion. Pain happens in real time. It's a signal from the body that something's wrong.

Suffering is different. It's not about the moment. It originates from thought. Or rather thoughts. Because one thought leads to another and soon we are in a spiral.

Thoughts seem like they are real, that they are true. But mostly they aren't. Especially the ones that make us suffer.

Can we observe our thoughts? Can we be sure if they are true?

If we can start letting go of some of our thoughts, we might start letting go some of our suffering as well.
