I never thought we weren’t, Lucy! 🙂 Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah, forcing yourself to do most things is wasted effort. Maybe if you were in a really painful cycle (such as injustice-anger), it can help to “murder the causes” or “cut the shit”. Here though, sheesh! The desire is there for a bunch of reasons, and the more you explore those reasons, the more the unhealthy shed and the healthy grow. Like cooking a meal, its easy to tell when there is too much salt, and adjust next time. Find your balance, what makes your heart sing, and you’ll be fine :). Consider the pressure from “omgwhatdoido whatdoido” is just leftover from old baggage, not enough self nurturing,being nurtured by your partner, etc. Don’t believe its immediacy! We do well when we are patient with ourselves, like watching a flower bloom. Rushing only tears at the pedals, which are tender, delicate, whispers of heart that go unheard when our mind gets all blabby.

With warmth,
Matt
