Most people allow beliefs, opinions, likes, and dislikes to pop up by default. In any situation, their thinking isn't centered on the present, but is a relic of the past. The self who originated old thinking doesn't exist anymore. So when you find yourself having a negative reaction, and you can see that this reaction is one you fall back on (e.g., getting angry, feeling anxious, shutting out whatever is new and unknown), simply stop for a second and silently repeat the following mantra: “I am not that person anymore.” Let this thought sink in, then open yourself to the situation as it’s unfolding in real present time. Your real self is always here and now.
