    Dear Chenxsi,

    >> Progress!!! There's a progress in my astral mirror finally!! <<

    Excellent! :)

    >> Oh hell..all these months i have an extremely powerful reluctance to
    construct my mirrors, and worst of all, i am not even aware of this
    reluctance! My self-denial is extraordinary, due to some misguilded
    concepts i have in my mind... <<

    ;-) It's called being human. At least you have discovered an item to
    write down in your negative mirror, yes?

    >> Anyway to construct my mirrors, i will first think of a problem i had
    in life. I will keep searching into the root of my negative trait, and
    when i've found it, start to think of a solution, then think of how to
    solve this problem with my positive personality traits. <<

    Another suggestion, if I may. Bardon splits this process down into
    discrete phases: #1) Make your negative list. This is purely
    self-analysis without critique and without trying to find the solutions
    to the items you discover. #2) Divide your list into the Elemental
    categories. Here you must analyze each item to see which Element it
    belongs to. #3) Divide each Elemental category into three degrees of
    severity. Here you define how big or small a problem each item is. #4)
    Repeat numbers 1 thru 3 for your positive list.

    This is all that one does during the Step One. It's not until Step Two
    that you start analyzing the question of how to resolve your negative
    items and begin the work of character transformation. Step One is
    purely about introspective self-analysis.

    By your description above, I see that you're trying to engage in the
    Step Two process of self-change, or at least of figuring out your
    tactics for eventual self-change, as part of your Step One introspective
    self-analysis. The problem with combining these two operations is that
    you can easily get lost in trying to figure out remedies and thereby
    overlook many items for your list. Doing it that way can really slow
    the process down for you and lead to eventual frustration with how long
    it's taking.

    Furthermore, figuring out how to rectify your negative traits is much
    easier when you first have a firm idea of everything you're working
    with, vis a vis a list all of your positive and negative traits. This
    way, you know before hand all of the assets you have to work with.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
