Dear Highrculling,
I would like to offer You couple of my thoughts on the subject of working with Self. Above all please keep in mind, that it is a process. Beginnings are always difficult. With time and practice You will be able to make far more progress that You currently assume/imagine.
It often starts with big, awkward steps. Doubt may meet You half way. You may get an impression that You do not do any progress / actual work. All that is normal, because You are discovering all of this for your Self for the first time. Start with general observations and balancing attempts; with as You your-Self pointed out major/significant inner events. Of course not always You will be able to offer this daily-goal proper attention/focus due to other responsibilities. In this early phase most crucial is to be systematic and persistent. It is a phase of exploring such activities and building new habits/paths of attention/focus of Consciousness. In time You will be able to notice more and work with more experience/thoughts.
I don’t want to oversimplify it, but starting something new in Ones life is like learning how to ride a bike. At the beginning You cannot imagine how You could ride this thing and not kill your Self. Couple of weeks later You must be convinced to get off the (damn) bike ;-)
Same here. Systematic approach and establishing new mental habits takes time and it is a gradual process. So start small and make each step as big as You feel is comfortable for You. Because if You over-task Self and attempt to implement the change too abruptly, You will at some point reject an entire process at the emotional level, as counter reaction of your psyche.
Also, observe your reactions, learn them. See if with each new venture in your life You are reacting with enthusiasm or with resistance. What is the nature of any of experience feeling/attitude. How have You found it within You, how it was born and where it wants to take You. Situations when You want something very much or don’t want equally strong are very potent – stop and observer those powerful feelings; what is happening within You, why, how it come to existence and what it demands of You. Than decide if You are OK with it.
That’s just a suggestion/example of approach to inner events.
I’m Glad You are here :-)
All I have Best in me for You
