DAY 4

DATE:
TIME:

A. OPENING THOUGHTS/OBSERVATIONS:














B. DREAM ENTRY:






C. During your workout today we will focus on perceived “negative” emotions such as Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Grief, Fear, and Desire/Greed. The purpose of today is not dwell on these emotions but to be able to identify them when they come up at critical moments in your Quest. Remember, the ego likes to keep feelings like these hidden. Today our purpose is to shine light on these emotions which the ego hides in order to see you fail in your Quest.
