Very good information here. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.
Many, many years ago I took the EST training. It was weird. But one thing they really got through to me on was, if everybody is so worried about what other people think of them, who exactly is monitoring you? Nobody!
Yes, everybody does worry about that to some extent, but in general it's actually quite egotistical to assume the rest of the world is even paying attention to your minor screw-ups. They're not. The are worrying about their own. I found this logical and freeing so I wanted to share it.
