Wellness

when you face a bad-feeling situation there are two main ways to find relief:

1. change the situation
2. change your beliefs about the situation 

with 1, the next time you experience the same type of scenario you’ll go through the same bad feelings again. you rob yourself of an opportunity for growth and transformation

with 2, you become a new person, with a new perspective, and can then address the situation from a higher level of consciousness. at this point, it often doesn’t need to be addressed at all, however

sometimes there’s no time to choose and you must exert force to remedy the situation. that’s okay. you can still address your beliefs afterwards if needed

i find that anxiety in particular creates a huge temptation to use force and avoid learning the required lesson. this month i’ve been extra disciplined about this though, and the rewards have been great. instead of acting on anxieties, which only really perpetuates them, i pause and overcome them (i’m mainly using emdr for this)

This is an excellent way to approach /recovery
