Day 44: Been noticing how badly I sleep recently. It's not that the problem is recent, I have always been a very light sleeper and I think it comes from anxiety. In addition when I wake up I feel incredibly stiff all over my body and have a lot of tension all over. This lasts the whole day and usually settles down by the time I'm getting ready to go to bed. One of the reasons why I want to run OF so bad, or at least in combination with EPHRA.
I've been thinking about how fear is actually the biggest obstacle on our way to anywhere we want to go. Even facing our emotions with EPRHA, fear can set us back and keep us from taking action necessary to let the emotions surface. Or letting AM do it's job, simply by a fear of what we might become or fear of change. Always switching subs? Fear of missing out. I'm surprised how so many people here don't realize just how big of a part fear is in their lives, but on the other hand, neither did I not long ago.
I picked up the book "Power of Now" again and started reading it. I see that there's a lot of good stuff, but something keeps bothering me about it. I feel like doing what he suggests can certainly help in becoming more peaceful, but at the same time the scars and unhealed emotions stay and keep affecting our actions subconsciously. If we are healed internally doesn't being in the present become our natural state?
