There is a fine line between wallowing in your struggle and ignoring it completely.
If you find yourself on either side, it’s possible you aren’t dealing with the real issue at hand.
Telling yourself a constant story about how awful your life is isn’t very different from telling yourself how great life is when you spend the whole time avoiding it.
Take stock of where you are now.
Freedom comes from being honest about what’s working and what isn’t and finding a starting point for change.
What would happen if you consciously and thoughtfully planned a subtle or drastic change in the story you tell yourself about what hasn’t been working?
“The price may seem higher for the addict who prostitutes for a fix than it is for the addict who merely lies to a doctor, but ultimately both pay with their lives. Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.” – Narcotics Anonymous
