3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Hmm, another hefty energy bill for March, although below the £200 mark this time. There has to be an acceptance - staying warm is a fundamental and non-negotiable priority.

Uncertainty is my chosen lifestyle, which means that I live by appropriate measured responses to what occurs, and trust in the process, that resources will come however they come. In other words, keep grounded in the present! 

This does not mean I'm immune from the "panic" response in the face of troubling news and events, but I have learned what to do in these situations, which is to look inward for the correct action. Concentration, an essential skill for self-development, is closely associated with the act of listening. Listening makes all the internal noise quieten down, and allows intuition to then function properly and guide you to the correct action. When the going gets tough, the enlightened get listening!
