Why He Trained Himself Not to React | Mark Bell

I read from Dalai Lama's book – How To See Yourself As You Really Are, the most effective ways to undermine any negative emotions.

It's by understanding how they are created from impermanent conditions (dependent arising).

Because when their dependence on other things is understood, and their impermanence is understood, they are undermined, like when a dream is noticed to have been just a dream, the emotions associated with it will evaporate on their own.

One other good way (not in the book) is to check your immediate surroundings, your 5 senses, and ask yourself; is there any evidence right here and now that what I am thinking is true?

There is also the matter, that whatever You are aware of, be it something in your senses or in your thoughts, cannot be the You that is aware of it, because there is two there; the observer and the observed.
But the observer really can't be found, because if found, it would be another 'thing' that you are aware of. The observing awareness always remains unaffected by anything it observes, like a movie screen remains unaffected by the movies that roll on it.

Wow, an actual good video. Nice. I love the hair too!!!
