If only doing it was as easy as reading it...

[innerbrat]

Reading and taking on board what you read is the first step.

I'm good at that step. Strong emotion + misplaced pride invariably fucks up the second step. Then there follows guilt and frustration at getting it wrong again. Rinse and repeat. Unlike most learning processes, repetition isn't guaranteed to improve things - at least, not always noticeably. I suspect it's a long, long journey.

This reminds me: someone told me, a couple of weeks ago, to follow the yellow brick road. I can see it now, winding off through the poppy fields and over the distant hills.

Well then - forgive me for being obvious, but step 1.5 is recognising how you're fucking up step 2, and step 2.0 is letting go of that emotion & misplaced pride.

And I have no idea which link you're reading.
