The first step is simple and yet hard.
Stop trying to change, stop trying to make changes, stop trying to push through, stop everything; and take a deep breath and be aware.
Be aware of inner thoughts.
When you wake in the middle of the night, what do you hear?
In the morning, what is the first thing that you hear?
What mental loops, the tape that continues to play, what do you hear?
What do you feel in your body? Where does it hurt?
Give yourself time to listen.
All painful thoughts and body aches and frustrations, even anger, are just information.
And deep awareness is the first step to healing…
