"Self-understanding is a lifetime endeavor.
It is not a weekend seminar.
It does not come in capsule form."
Vironika Tugaledva
We change so slowly, we are often not even aware of what we have deleted nor what we have gained. The trick is to pay attention so we can amply support our transitions. Prefer not to go out in crowds anymore, invite a few friends over. Annoyed by others using our good nature, learn to say, "Oh, I'd love to, but no thank you!"
The funny thing about beginning to say 'no' is the startled look on the other person's face. Everyone knows we will say 'yes', so they are caught off guard by the simple 'no'. Now we are free to use our newly found freedom to invest in our lovely selves.
We are hesitant to decline as we don't want to let others down. The amazing thing is that all we have to say is 'no'. There is no need for listing reasons. Now invest wisely ... music, art, books, meditation, garden, nature, ... and decorate life as we want it to be.
