Hello gallen,
Thank you so much for your reply and the inspiration. I have had time to reflect on what you have said and everything makes so much sense. It was like an ethereal tap on my shoulder and has given me the encouragement to follow through with the meditation and active exercises practice without critiquing myself constantly. I did my exercises and meditation yesterday evening and followed your advice on being non-reactive and tried to stay centered in the spirit of the practice. I felt a greater sense of accomplishment than I ever have previously. Thank you once again.
