Hello,
I have noticed something in my practice that recurs constantly... I thought if I sat with it long enough it would maybe resolve itself, but it has been such a part of me for so long that it is ever-present. It is a feeling that I "should" always be doing something other than what I am doing... That I should be making more of the passing moment than I am, spending more time with my family, or doing a thousand things that need to be done. It is starting to really feel like an obstacle... I can see that the more "shoulds" I pile on, the more paralyzed I get and the less I actually get done. I will keep sitting with it, but I was wondering of anyone else had suggestions or has come up against this.
Gassho,
