But resisting those parts of ourselves, I think, only causes them to come out in dysfunctional ways.

I love this line... "One of the most rewarding things we can do is make peace with the parts we find it hardest to deal with." So often I read suggestions to resist or let go of that which we find hardest to deal with. With this approach that IS the end result, with the heavy perception of the *battle*. Wow, Chris.

I was told I "analyze" too much. I spent 10 years in market research, yes, I like to analyze! But for a few years I thought it was "wrong". I realize now it's part of my, ahem, brilliance :-) My ability to observe things that others don't see right away. After meditating, yoga and other practices I realize I wouldn't want another mind. And I'm quite happy with the one I have. Great post. Chris,

When my head is not right, I feel less energetic and less inspired to problem solve, write or even think. It is time for me to get back to what I do best, and that's to appreciate the present moment and soak-up all it offers. I, too, believe in the mind > body connection.

I'm glad to hear you got a break from your rational mind too -- I suspect a lot of us could use one.

I'm glad my pointy-headedness doesn't render me too uncool to rock! I definitely feel that way right now about riding the creative flow -- I get the sense that you're doing the same.
