Urges on Yom Kippur? 05 Oct 2022 23:51 #386282

I often fell on a spiritual high, like aseres yeme teshuva etc. Get up and move on, don't dwell on it. If Yom Kippur makes you feel anxious. that could of also spiralled a fall.

So the goal is to be happy, composed, tranquil and calm, and focusing on other things in life as opposed to high strung and stressed out, focused on not thinking about certain things, not fantasizing, not falling.
