Believing you're intrinsically valuable as a human, living person is a learned skill. Relaxing, resting, and being comfortable is a learned skill. Have you ever wondered why they don't teach us this? Who would it benefit other than individuals? We have to take responsibility to teach ourselves how to rest and relax. If you're going to listen to someone else on this subject, listen to someone who's done it. If you wanted to learn how to climb a mountain, you'd listen to someone who'd summited that mountain. You don't listen to people who made it a third of the way up the mountain and came back, or halfway up the mountain and came back. You listen to the people who summited the mountain. Why is that? The people who made it halfway up probably learned a few things in the process, but what they're going to tell you is all of the reasons why it's important, possible to summit the mountain, because that's all they've actually mastered, is the list of reasons they could never summit the mountain. So if you want to learn how to relax and rest, listen to people who've learned how to relax and rest. I know there aren't a lot out there because there's no money in it. There's no money in teaching people how to rest. So you're not going to see a lot of programs, really good books, or coaching systems out there that provide these services. Unfortunately, you just have to kind of piece it all together from the firsthand accounts of people who've done it. I won't say that I've summited the mountain, but I can see the summit. And I can tell you that if you want to relax and you want to rest, you have to learn to do it. And you're not going to learn to do it by listening to people who never succeeded at it. Good luck in your retirement.
