Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When a strong feeling hits I just become it
- I’m pouring myself into a life that looks like what I’m supposed to want, but it goes against my actual grain, and the constant low hum of betraying my own nature to live up to someone else’s idea of me is quietly wearing me down.
- One bit of praise sends me soaring and one bit of criticism sinks me for days
- I notice myself grabbing credit and dodging blame on reflex, and it bothers me
- In the heat of the moment I just fire off the automatic reaction

The teaching is philosophical and contemplative; its convergences with psychological research are structural rather than directly evidenced. - Practice equanimity toward the pairs of opposites
Success and failure, pleasure and pain, gain and loss — the Gita teaches equal steadiness toward both.
