Even after years of practicing acceptance and equanimity - there is such deep conditioning in me that when something feels off, something feels unpleasant or uncomfortable, I have a thought (often unconsciously) that I must be doing something wrong. And if I just tried harder, thought harder, worked harder, we could get back to how things should be.

Can every day be January 1st? Maybe we’ve been thinking about New Year’s Resolutions all wrong?

The more I see it, the more I can love myself through it.

The single most impactful experience teaching has provided me is this - a continual opportunity for me to work with my triggers of rejection and shame.
