Let Go of Unhelpful Mental and Emotional Reactions

Let go of mental and emotional reactions that are not needed and not helpful. If we can see and understand our mind in this moment, we can choose what we want to hold onto. Why hold onto something that you do not need and is causing you suffering. If you grab a pan that is hot, you put it down as quick as you can. Why do we hold onto negative reactions, unhelpful mental stories, and difficult emotions? If we can learn to see them, see they are not needed, we can learn to let them go. The difficulties of life are difficult enough, why do we let our mind and emotions hurt us?
