At such times it is a good idea to give yourself time to relax. Turn your attention to something else entirely, and mentally say, “To hell with it all for now.” The entire idea involves a process in which you try and not try at the same time, in which you do not strain to achieve results, but instead gently begin to allow yourself to follow the contours of your own subjective feelings, to uncover those spiritual and biologically valid beliefs of early childhood, and to bring to them the very best wisdom that you have acquired throughout your life so far.
