<p><strong>Chris Edgar</strong> presents <a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site/?p=114">Thoughts On Conscious Suffering</a> posted at <a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site">Purpose Power Coaching</a>, saying, &#8220;The most effective inner work I’ve done on myself has been what’s often called “conscious suffering.” By this, I mean simply letting myself fully experience emotions I haven’t allowed myself to feel in the past. This kind of experience is rarely pleasant, but I find more calm and focus in my life &#8212; and the sensation I let myself experience becomes less agonizing &#8212; every time I do it.&#8221;</p>

However, this belief causes you to create in reverse.” That statement really had me.  It made me think, ”You can’t create without taking action.  More importantly you can’t create greater results with less action.”  It just defies logic. It turns out I was wrong.  Would you like to know why? See, The Shocking Truth About Action!&#8221;</p>

How can you desire or want something and yet not care about whether you get it or not? While desire without attachment is an old personal development concept, I myself haven’t came across any great explanations of it, and therefore it took me a while to understand it.&#8221;</p>

When someone makes us aware of the ways we’re bringing negativity into our lives, often just having that awareness is enough to start loosening the grip our habitual patterns have on us.  In the interest of fostering this kind of awareness, I describe several common ways of acting and thinking we use, often unconsciously, to keep unhappiness in our lives.&#8221;</p>
