3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
My other self-triumph has been on re-grounding when my attention has drifted into dark scenarios, simply acknowledging I'm in the wrong place, relaxing, and letting letting energy rebalance itself. I can now do this quite quickly and efficiently.
These little twin victories are a confidence boost and of course inform my work with clients. Although having no mentor other than myself makes learning slower, once I've "got it" it's firmly ingrained and permanent.

9. ZEN WISDOM
When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with firm determination.
