Shift your attention
No isolated events exist. Notice what you think matters. Notice why you measure or interpret as you do. Notice that everything has a function in the totality though mind only grasps a limited fragment of all that is. Notice when you react emotionally and find yourself thinking something should not be happening. You can also choose to shift your focus. What happens as you do?
Step back to grow aware of how you can distance yourself from collective emotional reactions and perceptions. They are not you. You are not limited to the forms understood by the mind. Something flows through you beyond form. Reality emerges as you observe without judgment.

Have a happy Christmas and New Year ... as well as a peaceful blessed one .. with memories new and memories from vintage years .. with thoughts - Hilary
Great blog! Personally, I have found one of the most effective ways for me to change state, is to change my attention on taking action and or choosing thoughts that make me feel good and the change then flows from there. Even something as simple as feeling the sun. For stronger emotional situations, I find the practice of Tonglen wonderful.
All the best.
All is free beyond any setting or manufactured environments. Stop using nets to catch fish and one returns to the sea where all is born and spawned from.
One has always been free in Reality, but this feeling has just been forgotten in a land that is un-real.
