Hit a bit of a wall lately. I notice when I'm listening to this sub I'll get these moments where I get hit with some increased anxiety. Like I'm getting at something but I can't tackle it all at once. In these moments I do my best to let go and trust, but it doesn't always work.
I think that's where I've been running into some trouble lately. I'm trying to make it work faster or do something to overcome this block. But I've realized it's just been stressing me out more and the best thing to do is to just relax and just keep working on it. It sucks but I think sometimes pushing yourself beyond your limits is really counter-intuitive. You get stuck in this really stressful mentality of feeling like you should be able to do something and when you can't it's more fuel for that feeling of letting things defeat you. That stress can prevent healing and delay things even more.
I think in general I'm making good progress. But I still have some of those self sabotaging behaviors that pop out from time to time that I have trouble catching if I'm not mindful enough.
