Yogi: When I practice, my habit is to push myself until I break down. I know it’s a habit I really have to change, but I cannot let go.

Sayadaw: There’s no need to let go; just be aware. Every time this habit arises, just recognize that it is happening, and do it repeatedly.

Your responsibility is to be aware of this. Don’t try to change – we’re not trying to create anything.

Every time this habit arises, just try to be aware – that’s enough. After a while, the mind learns and understands something. Because of understanding, then this habit can change.
