LOL I just wanted to put down some thoughts and lessons I have learned from the KSMO experience; furballs and things that hold me back from fully relaxing into KSMO if you will.
The KSMO journey is different for everyone ( as different as our varied personalities ) and while I feel mine has been slow, the process ( don't like that word ) has helped me identify blockages/ furballs in my own life.
Just recently, after an extended break and being relatively stress free, I was confronted with the sudden onset of stress again. The stress of going back to work after having time off. Now my job is not that stressful but for some reason, knowing that I have a scheduled place to be the next day greats a level of stress in my life. I thought about this while I was off and why I felt this way. I was reminded that while I felt stress in school as a kid and teenager, that stress was limited and was easily set aside, knowing that my life did not depend on my schooling...... not as much as working and paying bills. Still trying to figure out how to resolve this. Any suggestions?
In the interest of giving others insight and sharing my ideas, I have listed some of my other stressors that can cause furballs (physical and emotional) and keep me from experiencing KSMO fully.
1. Exercising too hard
2. Not enough sleep
3. Poor diet
4. Too much alcohol or caffeine (affects the nervous system)
5. work
6. Religious/ emotional furballs
7. Not having enough personal space/time to practice
