So be it

Hi to everyone here!
I'm Ugi from Switzerland and I'm 23 years old. Since like three years I tried different self-help techniques to alter myself, to be the person I want to be. Thankfully I don't have any severe conditions to deal with. But I struggle with certain conditionings and certain attachments (especially to finally having a relationship and to be approved by people in general). I tried stuff like EFT or the Sedona Method/Release Technique but I didn't change. It only was last year when I discovered that the problem was my resistance to what is and my huge want to get out of my current situation. This attachment made it worse over the years.
Then I found a course called "Just allow it" by GP Walsh which was basically a mindfulness course. Altough I did this course, I still was resisting my life as it was. So I knew mentally that allowing everything to be as it is, is the key for letting go of my attachment, but I wasn't able to get to a place of allowing. Because of that and because I'm a science oriented guy, I stumbled across Mindfulness Meditation. I was so glad that there was such an incredibly huge evidence of the benefits of mindfulness/allowing that I immediately got myself the 8 week course book by Mark Williams and started doing it. That was two months ago. I didn't follow the course through as recommended in the book but I did meditate daily with additional Meditations by Jon Kabat-Zinn or Tara Brach.
Meditation is fantastic and the benefits of a growing mindfulness are great. Still, there's a lot to practice and learn. So thats the reason why I registered here. But I can say already that starting meditation seems to me the best thing that could have happened in my life
Thanks for reading!
