I listened to a wonderful podcast The Huberman Labs with Dr James Hollis, a Jungian psychologist. It did get me thinking about how Mindfulness can make space for our soul to tell us what it needs. Just a thought, but you are doing great work on yourself, stay compassionate to yourself.

Thanks so much, Jerry! It took me far too long to recognize the importance of self-compassion, and it’s something I still struggle (compassionately) with.

What a hard space to hold, Derek. Cheers for sharing. Congratulations on discovering a different quality of experience. May you never suffer again.

Thanks, Anna, you rock! No, not triggering at all. I'm glad you were able to part with some of your writing; that must've felt like giving away a piece of you? Most of my notes over the last 12-ish years have been digital, and I do delete those that no longer serve me. Based on where I find myself now, though, I learn a great deal about where I've progressed (and where I haven't) by reframing these writings and looking at them from the perspective of Derek 2.0. 😉
