Its always amazing to me to see how many masks we wear out of our old habits. It shows me how much my mind is still trying to control my life. Really all of our old habits were created by our mind. We thought they were useful at the time but continue to act them out without thinking.
When I look at my old habits, I realize that I created them because I wanted to please someone or hide my self from someone. They became important only because I couldn’t relax and trust my self. Now I must be mindful every day to follow my heart and be my self. As soon as I recognize that an old habit is coming up, I surrender and let it go. I drop into my heart and ask my self, “What are you really feeling? What do you really want?”
