+ One way to prevent mental suffering is to observe ourselves and figure out
+what triggers our problem. If we can identify what makes our blood pressure
+rise and causes us to feel upset, then we have taken a big step toward seeing
+the larger picture. With this wider perspective, there is less chance that we
+will jump back into an old habitual pattern that only makes us feel bad.
+ It is not that we have to stop going to all family holidays, but that we
+figure out ways to enjoy the parts that are enjoyable, like the delicious food
+and the chance to connect with people, and to feel more neutral and detached
+about the annoying or hurtful moments. We often place too many expectations
+and requirements on ourselves and those around us. We could give the
+situation a little space and see what develops. The kindest thing we can do
+in these situations is to remain calm and refrain from causing more
+difficulty.
