After having finished the process once I am trying to decide when to start again. I usually do something during lent an extra something positive so I decided that I would start the process again. I have found the process quite amazing. I find my perceptions are changing but I still have strong negative charge. I have to remind myself of the stages of change. When I are trying to change, it can happen I intend to change but when the opportunity arises, I do the same old thing. I have a choice, I can say "I’ll never change!" or "that’s the first stage of change". Later I anticipate the opportunity and plan to do it differently but still play the old script. Again a choice, "Never change!" or "Second stage". Next stage is I anticipate and actually do the new script most of the time. I now am at the third stage and the percentage of the time will increase but who’s perfect. The thing I must realize is that change is slow, and patience and persistence is important. I have found that I really have become aware of these things that I put out there to teach me lessons. I am listening to the messages and am ready to learn about Present Moment Awareness. Stay tuned.
Greetings Jim,
Congratulations on helping Stephen & Graham with this interesting site.
Thanks for your series on ‘The Presence Process’. I will get the book now & give you my feedback. As support for you to keep plugging on the process, I give you a saying I like, but can’t currently give you the author.
“The more I am present, the more present I am.” – sounds like ‘practice makes better’.
Happy week. Warren
