Have you ever stopped to notice, that every single time you reach towards something when you feel uncomfortable….
….food, drink, smoke, internet, activity-you-promised-not-to-do….
….you’re trying to feel OK.
But you don’t feel OK.
You’re trying to.
So you put something in your mouth and eat it, and you forget about how you weren’t feeling OK for awhile.
You move on.
Other stuff happens.
Now, you’re drunk, or stuffed, or exhausted, or your money is gone, or you feel guilty, or you feel horrible pain.
That thing you didn’t feel OK about is long gone.
Now, you have worse problems you have to attend to, and work on, and self-hate to deal with on top.
What if….when you got the first inkling of Not-OK about anything, you didn’t try to get away from it or fix it or do something about it?
Believe me, I know it’s weird.
It’s not what is usually offered, or suggested, or what your mind will chatter away about with many possible ideas to solve the problem.
Not solving the problem is VERY strange for the mind.
But try it on. What if you didn’t try to be OK?
