This meditation explores how to notice familiar thoughts, emotions, and reactions without immediately criticizing yourself for having them. Inspired by Thích Nhất Hạnh's teaching on habit energy, the practice invites you to recognize patterns such as rushing, worrying, withdrawing, becoming defensive, or reacting automatically.
