A participant shared the following:
"The biggest surprise and change I experienced was when I could stop reprimanding myself for getting emotional about things that happened. (I struggled with my strong emotions.) However, when I smell a fart, it is only natural to react, "It stinks!" without resisting that feeling. Knowing that the smell would soon disappear, I could then calmly focus on the task at hand without any emotions.
I used to believe that I had to think positively about everything, that I couldn't change others, so I had to change myself, or that everything that happened was my fault because of the law of attraction. I put a lot of pressure on myself, thinking that no matter how tough it was, it was just growing pains and I had to tough it out.
I feel so much more at ease because this practice allowed me to let go of these beliefs. I was also putting this pressure on others without even knowing it. As a result, my relationship with my daughter, which I had given up on because of our conflicts, has improved. Previously, I would constantly complain about issues with her, but recently, I have almost nothing to complain about.Â
I'm truly amazed by this change and grateful for my friends sitting with me through this journey." M
