The best advice for self-observation to work is to honestly admit that I don’t know what is the way out of my problem. I can only go to a certain length by thinking about my problems and the rest is up to my whole Self to sort out, not my thinking mind. 

If I can name my problem with self-observation that is fantastic, but I shall not expect that I will be able to completely transform it just by thought. It will actually even backfire to think that I am so clever that I can nail it with my logic. The exact opposite is true because it is my logic that keeps my problem happening.

It may be a trust issue. Or I may be a bit arrogant to think that I can solve my problem on the same level and with the same tool that I have created it with. 

True release is a miracle, my only job with it is to be honest about it.
