What is the deepest thinking that is holding you back? I mean, the deepest paradigms that are limiting you. It's like a vein of thinking that keeps repeating itself, a frustration that keeps recurring, or a feeling in the body of edginess that seems to just recur.

A happy 2023, is not so much about what you do this coming year, it's more how & what you think.

If the mind is struggling, you experience a life of stress & difficulty.
