Okay LOVE Rumi btw!! He is one of my favourites ( live where you fear to live...)
I digress...RT, I found that I snooped when I was feeling particularly vulnerable and let those emotions imprison me. Feel them all, but don't dwell on them. Let them run through you and examine them instead of engaging in activities to take your mind away from them ( like snooping . ).
It's really hard to sit with those feelings, you don't validate them, just see where they may take you for a bit.
