When you become angry, frustrated or sad, how kind are towards yourself or others?
It can feel very foreign to be loving and kind towards ourselves when big emotions arise, yet the breath opens up space for us to inject the antidote of loving-kindness to the fear.

The majority of our thoughts are toxic, and the way we apply them towards ourselves is harmful.

Be aware that you are not your thoughts and transcend the habitual patterns with loving-kindness.

Meditation is a practice that assists with this antidote.
