@Rob White, insightful, and such a true statement.Rob White wrote: ↑06 May 2022, 15:35 I found that I spent a lot of time trying to smear over my negative attitudes about myself and life. I would affirm "positive statement" over and over. That's what I tried to rectify problems in my life. My intent was to rid myself of my negative attitude. What I learned, eventually, was that when we affirm positive statements, to smear them over negative thoughts, we reinforce the negative energy. The answer is to look directly at the negativity, see it for the lie it is telling you…
It is important not only to have positive self-talk, but also to acknowledge the negative self-talk and shoot it down as wrong.
*expletive*, I’m an idiot!
No, you are certainly *not* an idiot. You are human, and you make mistakes. It’s okay to be embarrassed. Don’t call yourself an idiot. You are smart and capable.
Instead of
*expletive*, I’m an idiot!
You are smart, you are smart, you are smart.
The first helps reframe the mindset, the second is merely a distraction.

.....
A redwood tree seed asked it's mom, "What do I have to do to be a majestic redwood tree like you. The seed's mom lovingly responds, Just be yourself dear."
It seems doing what comes naturally brings out our marvelously made nature every time (for all living beings). That's really the bottom line that all authors are trying to get to when they write a spiritual self-help book, aye?
.....
I'm glad I was able to share that with you. I often thought, "Should I have put that somewhere at the end of the book? Rob

My book talks about the Intruder loving that you procrastinate, for that's when it get's its way, which is to get in your way from advancing in the direction of your dreams.
Teacher: What do you do if your computer goes haywire?
Student: Examine the matter and take steps to correct it.
Teacher: what about when your lawnmower goes on the fritz?
Student: Examine the matter and take steps to correct it.
Teacher: And what if your life-plans goes haywire; then what do you do?
Student: Procrastinate and hesitate and come up with excuses to explain it.
Teacher: Thank you for your honesty. What might be an alternative move to make?

Most of us haven't clues how we get what we get in life, until we do have clues. Your example of calmness in the presence of anger is a great clue to being The Maestro when the Intruder is butting in Thank you Rob
