After all we’re responsible people. Right?

Self-help systems take us beyond the victim level. We become self-determined. We have great intentions. We have compassion. We want to help others.

When does responsibility end? Where does overwhelm begin? Can we stop it before it sinks us? How do we recover?

What can we do about it? Many self-help processes seem promising. Meditation helps for sure. Simplification might be the answer.

Take a look at the short video below. It will help.

May the bliss be with you.

We’re supposed to be positive all the time. Our emotions are only happy. That’s wishful thinking.

I was raised to be a good little boy. This meant that I should be quiet. Good equals quiet and showing no negativity. Later in my life spiritual seemed to equal having only positive feelings. So I stuffed my feelings.

Stuffed feelings invite health issues. They invite social problems. They invite compulsive behavior.

We can rise above this by taking quiet time to welcome all our feelings, thoughts, emotions, and sensations.

Please check out the video below. It just might help you change your life.
