ARE YOU FRUSTRATED? ARE YOU RELUCTANT TO FIND A METHOD TO DO YOUR WORK THAT WORKS?
I'VE MET INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE JUST FRUSTRATED ABOUT DOING THE INNER WORK. IT'S CERTAINLY UNDERSTANDABLE. I SUGGEST TO THEM THAT THERE MAY NOT BE ANY ALTERNATIVE BUT TO DO THE INNER WORK. WE CAN CHOOSE TO BE SHUT DOWN AND IGNORE THE TRIGGERS. WE CAN ALSO ATTEMPT TO FIND WAYS TO DISSIPATE THE TRIGGERS. PERHAPS THE PAIN WILL JUST GO AWAY IF WE DO? HOWEVER, I HAVEN'T KNOWN MANY WHO CLAIM THAT THE PAIN HAS GONE WAY. THE PAIN USUALLY COMES OUT IN OTHER WAYS BY WAY OF OTHER DISEASES. I SUGGEST THAT WE NEED TO FIND THOSE PERSONAL GROWTH METHODS THAT RESONATE WITH US AND USE THEM TO DO EFFECTIVE, FOCUSED, AND EFFICIENT INNER WORK! I HAVE, AND I DO, AND IT WORKS!
IF AND WHEN WE ARE CONTINUALLY TRIGGERED, EXPERIENCE KNEE JERK REACTIONS (REACTION FORMATION) THEN THERE IS NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE SEEKING IN ORDER TO FIND PERSONAL GROWTH METHODS THAT WORK FOR US! HOPEFULLY, WE ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT?
SOMETIMES THE VERY FRUSTRATION WE FEEL REFLECTS OUR DEFENSES, AND OUR SELF-DEFEATING BEHAVIORS RESULT IN OUR KNEE JERK REACTIONS! YES, IT'S DECEIVING AND OUR AWARENESS MAY NOT BE PRESENT. SELF-DEFEATING BEHAVIORS ARE DECEPTIVE! THEY DRIVE US TO DO THE INNER WORK OR PERHAPS TO SOME ADDICTION. FINDING A METHOD TO DO EFFECTIVE, FOCUSED, AND EFFICIENT INNER WORK IS PERFERABLE.
THE ANSWER IS "DON'T QUIT", "DON'T GIVE UP", AND LEARN TO GO INTO, CONNECT WITH AND LEARN TO RELEASE, SURRENDER, AND LET GO, AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. WE ARE LIKE LOTUS FLOWERS THAT REQUIRE NURTURING. BY THE WAY, NATURE LOOKS KINDLY UPON LOTUS FLOWERS.
