What has you feeling down? What are the thoughts? What are the feelings? Where do you feel it in your body? What is your body language? How do you act? How do you react?If I stay present while I'm feeling down it shifts my experience. I still have the thoughts, feelings and body sensations. And yet, there's space around it. Instead of everything seeming overwhelming, it is more of something to be curious about.
When I notice what is going on inside, it shifts the whole experience. It becomes an experience instead of all there is.
Next time you feel down, upset, stressed or overwhelmed notice your thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Then notice it all as an experience. Feel the space around it. Be with it. See if the feeling is different. Notice if you act and react differently.
