The question you’ve posed might just be the point of this whole existence of ours. It’s corny, but they say the longest journey is the one from our head to our heart. It took me going to ACA and doing those 12 steps, paired with a good therapist, for me to uncover what’s kept me locked in my brain for 30+ years.
For me, I had to see my childhood for what is was (dysfunctional), and recognize the character defects and defenses that were either installed or evolved that were keeping me trapped as an emotionally immature adult child. They kept me safe as a kid but they keep me stagnant (at best) as an adult.
It started with recognizing my own critical inner voice, followed by positive affirmations, acceptance of being human and that perfection is not the point, and that every feeling is ok and is meant to be felt. It doesn’t happen over night and it’s probably a lifelong journey, but boy has it been worth it.
So true. That's why I love yoga. It balances all three parts of us. Body, Mind and Spirit

Have you done Step 3?
Yes. In fullness. Awakened then and am now at 12. 🙏
I analyzed myself into admitting I could not make a literal mountain. I let that knowledge that something that was much bigger than me lead me to seeing that concept in many forms. I find my higher power in nature now and it is constantly growing and changing. Turned out I had a problem with words and not meaning.
I know it gonna sound crazy but every that sound crazy always worked better than logical. Keep a totally open mind on this. Get obsessed with Yoga. That's what it's meant for. Breathing out of your head and into the body. Focus on your breath and visualize the way the air flows through you. That what the breathing sentence mean in not Yoga speak.
Good luck on your journey
Thank you, WS1! Very helpful.
