A mindfulness quote "What we resist persist, what we observe, disappears"
Resistance is futile is a correct statement because the more we fight unpleasant feelings, experiences, thoughts, emotions, the more fuel we are giving to them and therefore the stronger they become.
So try something different - instead of fighting them, welcome them with acceptance - as if it is your young child feeling this way.
Observe it with love and compassion and notice if anything changes in the experience.
