Welcome Tinaq-
Always glad when new people join this thread, because it helps keep me motivated.
Nelybel- How are things going? Any new thoughts about Week 1- Power of Perception?
I think I still have a ways to go on really fully believing that, "Each day, each hour, every moment, I choose the sounds I want to hear, the sights I want to see, and the actions I want to focus on." It is so ingrained in me to think that people and situations beyond my control determine my experience. I do believe it in my head, but I need to integrate into my heart knowledge, I guess that's what the practice program is all about.
On the other hand, "I choose to see this situation differently." is helping me so much. And I think I already have a much greater measure of composure since I first picked up the book two months ago! Yeah! Already, some of our major power struggles like getting dressed are a thing of the past, like getting dressed. It's not because DS doesn't still resist getting dressed, but I have tools to handle it, and I don't allow myself to be so reactive. And actually, I think this is helping his resistance decrease as well. It helps me to write this down, because it really makes me realize how far we've come. Just glad for this thread to inspire me to keep learning and practicing.
