Greetings all!

I hope you are enjoying your time here on the forum.

Here's a little advice from Pema Chodron - a Buddhist nun in her eighties and still going strong.

They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.

I can recommend her books if you are interested in transforming your mind at all!

All the best!
