....positive affirmations :thumbs-up really seem to work and help alot. The obstacle :wall: for me, was getting past my pre-conceived ideas about its practice for me. Which I think I've done. How silly this is, bc I've always believed in it for others. When relating to me however, I had rejected the idea, just knowing it would feel awkward and also thinking it couldn't work for me. Turns out it was nothing more than my faulty thinking, ie. 'contempt prior to investigation', fear and ego.

I'll face it ...I was triggered :crazy:the other night, but already feeling far better despite my bad cold and cough. Even yest. I accomplished a lot and felt good about this. My emotional state has basically taken a quick upward turn. My self-destructive thoughts are passing.
This emotional roller coaster ride though is for the birds.
:smile: Just thought I'd share something here that has meant a great deal to me:
"The Burden of Freedom" I stand at the Stairway . . . my back to the Dungeon The Doorway to Freedom so close to my hand . . . Voices behind me still bitterly damn me For seeking Salvation they don't understand. Lord, help me to shoulder the burden of Freedom, And give me the courage to be what I AM . . . And when I am wounded by those who condemn me Please help me forgive them . . . they don't understand.
