I’ve learned that underneath my neurotic behaviors lie unconscious purposes – usually to avoid some fear that I’m also unconscious of having. And it’s all the product of my unchecked mind. My healing starts with focusing first on the discomfort I feel in my body and expressing that to myself. When I choose not to numb out my discomfort that helps me access the light of truth which exposes my false mental constructs. It’s incredibly hard work, but it frees me to let go of my neurotic behaviors – they start to fall away and with conscious intention I choose a way to be that better serves me and better serves the world. If I encounter more (and you can bet I will) I need only remember that there’s some more work to be done. And more of my authentic self to reveal.
