I could go on and on and ON, but I just wanted to share this relatively simple practice with you. I think many people imagine the goal of therapy and mindfulness is the integration of these separate parts into an undifferentiated whole. But, in my experience, it’s actually the opposite; It’s the ACCEPTANCE and AWARENESS of all the parts of yourself so that you can allow your true feelings to emerge, and tap into the most beneficial thoughts and actions when you need them.

(And I know I say this way too often, but I believe that these transformational moments are the direct result of taking the time to examine my life. This is why the pop psychology idea that you should never look back literally enrages me-especially as the days grow shorter-ha ha)

Have a wonderfully productive (in my case I have 5 deadlines tomorrow!?!?) and/or peaceful Sunday.

Thanks so much for reading my post,

Mary
