Motivation and willpower

Starting to use this method in your daily life is a challenge, but also a gift to yourself. Are you willing to really face what your feelings are about when you are sad, uncomfortable or feel guilt?  Are you willing to be totally honest with yourself? If you say yes to both these questions, you are on your way.

To start with, you might feel that you need to do the opposite of what you think. You are probably used to pull yourself together, not to cry and to go on, not showing your feelings. In the middle of a painful situation, it might be the best to start with. - But when you come home or to a place where you can be by yourself, you can stop and let your feelings flow.

When strong feelings come forth, it might be an old memory being triggered and the best is, not to project anger and blame on to the person that caused them, even if it feels right. Our feelings may easily get much stronger than needed because the reason of our reaction may have it's root in something that happened long time ago! The anger may be self anger. The blame may come from our own guilty conscious.

Be patient with yourself! When you really start learning to think this way, you will probably not be able to stop! You will see that releasing every emotion that is hidden inside, is a goldmine to inner growth, to insights in life in a completely new way. It is when learning how you apply the keys of liberation you need willpower. When you have had your first breakthrough, your happy experience will be your driving force.
