Whatever it is, you speak with confidence so the others eagerly listen and respond. The more you know how it works, and the more you see that mapping out habit loops and becoming disenchanted with old behaviors helps to move you forward, the more this trust will deepen. It feels horrible! But I think I'm onto something: for me, feeling anxious, as horrible as it is, has come to seem like the right way to feel, the appropriate response to having unfinished tasks ahead of me.

She will need support to adhere to the plan despite the emotions that inevitably arise as this confident, powerful woman enters a realm in which she is no longer able to control and shape each element of the process. A real love will be happy even if the partner feels joyous with somebody else. We don't always want to accept the transformational changes that our emotions propose we make.

To pursue only one emotional experience while denying all the other colors of the emotional spectrum is the definition of living in delusion.
