Dear Friends,
I am finally back online post-Hoffman after an 8 day silent meditation retreat and am just catching up on all of your messages and inspirations.
Laura, I have to keep reminding myself that it takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 60 days to rewire the brain, so one needs to be patient as your brain lays down new pathways that help us from going back into our well-worn patterns.
I am doing the Q check in daily, the appreciations and gratitudes, pre-cycling and re-cycling, as well as bashing. I went back to the original list of patterns in the pre-work and found a whole bunch more that I realize I do constantly, but which I wasn't aware of pre-program. While daunting, I do consider it progress that after the program I am much more self-aware (and uncomfortable and a little untethered — a la the Ekhart Tolle quote).
Be patient and kind with yourself and know that these things just take some time!
Warm wishes,
Schon
