I Loved the statement,

“ Being stuck on the ground with the one person in my life who’s responsible for all of my problems.”

Lmao!! 🤣😂

So True!!! 🤣

But we don’t like to think that way. 😆

Thanks for the eye opener! ❤️

If Woody Allen had any real problems, you could be his spirit animal. Problem is, he’s a rookie when it comes to neuroses. You, my son, can abandon your amateur status and turn pro. Mazel-tov! Beautifully expressed, btw. I think this glimpse of vulnerability will help others recognize they’re unique, but not alone. Bravo.

Could the meditation be just this - pause for a momen - standing, sitting, lying or walking - taking in all that is here - gently, as much as I can, saying to myself - that's me, let's friendly explore it, as much as I can, and see what is comming next.

As someone that spent a year studying in a yoga ashram with a guru who refused to smile ... and as someone who has been an active practitioner of meditation for 10 years ... and as someone who has spent much of my life intentionally sitting cross-legged on the floor ... and as someone who is a hippie dippy chick from Oregon ....

I think I pissed myself laughing at this. Can I please pay you? Or meet you? Your writing is everything my life has been needing.

I also failed to mention that I have religiously used Insight Timer as my app of choice, so your “gong” comment made me loose it. ⭐️

I'm honestly so against charging for my Substack right now haha. I think it's too small and amateur and I'm not confident enough. I could use more referrals though haha. Thanks Mak

You are not "the only person" "responsible for your problems." Like everyone else, you are in a situation with multiple vontributing factors and responsible parties.

Hi friend,,,,I totally understand...I myself, think that whatever you love to do, ..consentrate on that....much easier..ya know? You dont need to follow anyone "rules", or guides, just consentrate on something or someone you love....what I am trying to say is "do your own thing"...dont "follow" others....God Bless
