When experiencing pain, we can only control the first arrow (the initial pain itself), but we often add unnecessary suffering by shooting ourselves with additional arrows through shame, blame, and self-criticism; the practice is to simply let the first arrow hurt without firing the rest.

The Second ArrowAñadido:
I got rejected today.
And I spent the last 6 hours hating myself for being upset about it.
>> So, you got hurt once and then hurt yourself five more times.
Yeah.
Sure did. There's an old teaching.
When something painful happens, that's like getting [music] hit with an arrow.
That part, you cannot control.
But most people pick up a second arrow and shoot themselves with it.
And a third.
And a fourth.
>> So, what do I do with the first one?
>> Just let it hurt.
That's all it was asking.
