You have a sub that turns your focus inwards, you're used to doing it anyway, you have negative feelings floating around all the time, you're experiencing very little drive to get external things done.. and you're not supposed to be looking at the feelings. Well I was into positive LOA-style visualization at one point during my E2 journey and that was great. Just a lot of effort to get into that positive visualization state if you're feeling low. Hope you find your way, just sounds like a bit of a catch 22.
Yeah it does feel like a bit of a catch 22. But ultimately my goal is to let E2 find the optimum balance for this stuff. Interfering with that is what causes all the problems. In a way its like having your own personal therapist who guides you step by step to overcome stuff instead of throwing you in the deep end. It was foolish of me to bypass that and think i could heal faster if i just pushed harder.
Positive visualizatiom definitely helps. It gives me a target or goal to focus on so I'm not stuck in my head. Anything at all that gets me doing instead of analyzing is good. There's a serious lack of balance between my thinking and actions
