Re: Meditating on ones emotional life
Looking outside to avoid what's inside, or looking inside to avoid what's outside, are both causes of our continued suffering. Additionally, inside and outside are really just the limitations of what we have decided is our boundary between self and other.
Mind and body (for me) work better as the states that result in suffering's cause when in disharmony and result in suffering's reduction when met with collegiality.
As a practice....
To the degree that we can meditatively allow, all phenomena their own unmolested interaction with all of our sense gates, turns out to be the same degree that life's unavoidable pains can be detached from sufferings causes.

Bodhidharma comes to mind...
""The most essential method which includes all other methods is to behold the Mind..The Mind is the root from which all things grow..If you can understand the Mind...Everything else is included""

Except for N1, in no particular order....
1. Exercise. It's my best medicine.
2. Accepting/allowing all symptoms of anxiety and refocusing on thinking/doing something productive.
3. Working on my newly established small business daily.
4. Morning routine and helpful/positive routines in general.
5. Multimedia (including books) that enoble the soul.
6. People that are more advanced in a discipline I value, including being more spiritualy mature.
7. Honest, supporting, courageous talks with friends.
8. Trying to be actualy-factualy helpful and kind as much as possible.
9. Being in nature.
10. Retreating from unhelpful behaviors/habits and adopting helpful ones.
11. Small amazing 'noticings'. Eg. making a stranger in the shop genuinely laugh, having a poignant conversation with a homeless person, noticing something visually especially beautiful while outside...

It's quite a steep climb but worth the view.
