People often tell me how much they value the detailed information on my website, and over a period I will by making available many of the handouts on specific issues which I give to my clients. So please keep checking back. Available so far:
Three informal tests:
There is a vast choice of self-help, personal development and spiritual development exercises. They apply in different situations, for different types of people, and at different stages on the journey.
You learn what works best by trial and error! It's fine to just try different things and discover if you like them. While it is very valuable (often, essential) to get help from a therapist or teacher in the beginning, don't feel that you "ought" to like what someone else recommends. Do what fits and makes you feel good. Learning to contact and trust your intuition of what is good for you is all part of the work.
At the same time, it's pointless to toy with different methods, trying them for a day, then restlessly trying something else. After all, to dig a well, you have to dig consistently in one place, not dig a couple of feet in one spot, then another, then another. So when you try something, I suggest to use the following format.
It matter little which exercises you do, what matters is to do something. More than anything it is your repeated INTENTION to go in a new direction which gets you there.
Try an exercise once. If you like it, make a binding agreement with yourself to do it daily for seven days. Decide in advance the time each day you will do it, and how you are going to modify your week to make room for it. Only skip a day if it is totally impossible.
At the end of the week, if you like the exercise, make a similar commitment to do it for 21 days.
At the end of 21 days, again decide. If you carry on, again it is good to do so for a stated period; perhaps another 21 days, or perhaps for 3 months. And perhaps now not every day, but, still, on a clear schedule laid out in advance.
When asked if he ever feels fear:
I feel what you feel. You name it fear, I name it call for action.
