Good morning World!
How do I stay pull free?
By being conscious of my own willingness. Being accepting and gentle with myself, understanding that the impulses may or may not come, and being willing to deal with them at all times. In fact, the more willing, and consciously prepared I am to respond to them (by not responding at all), the less they invade my life. Period. This took me many years to discover, and my deepest wish is to shorten this learning curve for others, develop language that can transmit the “how to” if you will.
Next week, I will be taking a weeklong training in MBSR, which is short for JonKabat Zin’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. I am taking this, because I think it will be useful in helping me to develop the skills (and language) I am seeking to improve my communication abilities. The training is from 6:30am until 10pm for 7 days, so in some ways I am dreading it – and in other ways – I cannot wait to do it!
What else - Alice gave me back my edited manuscrpt for my little meditation book, and I am so delighted! But with the training coming up, I may have to wait to update the corrections.
Writing this blog, and that little book, has really helped me be more comfortable with the written word, which is incredibly exciting to me!
Okay, here’s to everyone having a great day!
Love, Christina
