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.
Today, focus on thinking thoughts and taking actions that create peace within. Let go of attempting to control anything outside of yourself and focus only on what you can control - your own thoughts and actions. Today, make creating peace within, and filling yourself with love, your primary goal, and then lovingly share your peace and love with others.
