Great comment. Thanks for the rich resource. I have not heard of Byron Katie before, but I also refer to that kind of self-exploration as "the work." So that's something. haha. I like those questions a lot, and I totally know what you mean about it not yet becoming something that is habit. I have a mentor that said there are three stages of mastery: knowing what happened, knowing what is happening, and knowing what is going to happen. The more we practice and the healthier we become, the less often we have to look back at a situation that exploded and will be able to see if coming from a ways off.

Smart mentor, and I totally agree. Being fully present goes a long way toward getting us there, but isn't easy in our world of distractions, so it's a process.
On my best days, I'm able to act as the observer and not get sucked into the drama. I'd love to say that that's my first instinct, but alas, not yet. But I am getting better. ;-)
Cheers to progress! And as we gain ground in our own lives, we can be there to help others along.
Indeed we can, and do.
Often the best teachers are those just a step or two ahead of us on the path, who can relate while guiding, and the guidance can sometimes work both ways. ;-)
