This I have found to be an first important step - is to bring it back to self, in all ways. When I looked at feeling guilty towards myself it was not possible, so I realized that guilt can only exist in separation. <br /><br />2)I realized that in order to change, there is no other way that to do it - obviously once we've brought the starting-point back to self, it gets a lot easier to push through the resistance as well. And then what is important here - not to self - is to walk in the moment and not within an idea of 'how much I have to do' - to bring it back to self and back to the moment - of pushing through resistances, 're-claiming' myself for myself, stopping excuses one by one, in patience and self-support.Anna Brix Thomsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362321809936342821noreply@blogger.com
