What a wonderful post. We were brought up to believe we should feel 'good' all the time but I believe this has led to people not feeling or acknowledging their emotions or feelings. If I get a feeling I don't like, I want to be distracted from it but this can be a road to PMO as one of the most easily accessible distractions. I am trying to make regular meditation a part of my life. Also generally try to feel what is going on inside. The only way out is through.
Day 12 Got to where i was before i failed a couple of times as i reported here. I'm also insanely close to 2 weeks. Nothing crazy, just a bit of urges spiking. I got the hang of this, i'll keep just minding my business for some time.
