One key to self-mastery I'm working on is self-communication. We have another phrase for this: self-connection. My experience as I practice my method of self-connection, is it leads to self-communication; then, life's challenges go more smoothly for me.

For anyone wanting more self-connection, a Skill Ladder of methods exists. If you know how to climb a ladder, you get the idea. Climb until you find a level of method workable and comfortable for you.

A ladder metaphor helps us avoid overwhelm. It encourages step-wise progression, one rung at a time. A ladder supports conceiving how self-healing methods rank in difficulty. Anyone can start on lower rungs, work up to higher rungs.

In personal growth and transformation, the big issue I see in the world today is people struggling to identify; and then, consistently practice, at least one form of self-connection.
