Invite the compassionate Presence of Spirit into your heart to help you learn what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain.
Consciously move out of the intent to protect/control and into the intent to learn about what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain so that you can move into loving yourself and others.
When you connect with Spirit and move into the intent to learn, you are in a loving Adult state, as opposed to the ego wounded self state you are in when you want to protect/control.
In Step Two, you welcome and embrace all your feelings with a compassionate intent to learn.
A key to joy is to live in integrity. This means: To live authentically and speak your truth. To stay connected with your spiritual Guidance and follow it's wisdom in thought and action. To stay open to learning within yourself and with others. To take full, 100% responsibility for your own feelings, health and well-being - to not be a victim of others' choices. To care deeply about others. To take consistent loving action. Strive to live each day with integrity.
