Practices that may help
- Anicca: Working Practically with Impermanence
Anicca (impermanence) is the first of the three marks of existence in Buddhism: all conditioned phenomena arise and pass. Its practical value is not consolation — "this too shall pass" — but precision: seeing impermanence directly in experience (not just as a concept) dissolves the misperception that generates clinging and aversion. Evidence for impermanence practice is primarily mechanistic and contemplative-clinical. - Applying anicca to the self-concept
Notice that the "self" you identify with right now is a temporary configuration — different from who you were five years ago and who you will be.
