Get to know your stories and how they run you. Practice coming back to body and breath when you see you are caught up in your storyline. Some stories are great. Some stories are really bad. Start with the bad ones then do this with all of them. Once you can do that, you are on your way to not clinging, which is a basic cause of suffering and confusion. This is true for everyone.
When you let go of an old habit, an old storyline, a vacuum is created. Fill this vacuum with awareness of the inherent peace and clarity of mind that we all have, which is our birthright. Be with yourself, as you are, in your body. This is where a good asana practice and seated meditation practice come in.
To get this lesson could take awhile. Be patient with yourself and cheer up. A lot of people haven't even gotten to this one yet.
