The following is from my journal from a few years back. The answer to my question changed the way I think
Holy Spirit, what would be helpful right now in taking my next step in awakening to the truth?
Sweet Myron, you are doing exceedingly good work, and it would help if you would remember that. The thoughts that you are not doing enough or doing it wrong are coming from the split mind. You tell everyone who will listen that they should not listen to the ego and should not judge themselves based on this made-up character. Take this advice to heart and accept that it is equally true for you.
You don’t have to spend every waking moment “working” at this. You don’t have anything to prove and no one to impress. We are not assessing your every move and judging your sincerity. No one is keeping score, honey. We are grateful to you and love you very much.
We know you feel guilty for not working harder at meditation, and while it would be good for you to become quiet as often as you can so that you can feel our presence and feel your own presence, you are not guilty of failing to do so. When you practice meditation, don’t make such a big deal of it. Don’t time yourself, and don’t set expectations. Just think of it as visiting with us for a while, just sitting with us and keeping us company.
Thank you, Holy Spirit.
