@dr.adam.dell: The opportunity to avoid anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, has never been easier. With minimal effort you can rely on entertainment, a drink, scrolling, or food to make yourself feel better. It's like magic: practice avoiding behaviors, and the bad feelings disappear. While you've successfully avoided feeling badly you've successfully avoided a real issue that will certainly come back to haunt you. It's not a wise. These behaviors give short term benefits and reinforce your commitment to avoidance. Exchanging uncomfortable and sad thoughts for short term indulges is not an equal exchange. The price you pay is much greater! Sadly, what's the easy way, isn't the best way. Deciding to eat the food, scroll, binge watch the shows, is just that--a decision! Deciding to avoid the hard things is a significant choice to invest in behaviors that end up hurting you in the long run and take you lower. You are intentionally putting yourself on a course for hurting your own well being. When left unchecked, you pay a steep price to 'purchase' your delayed grief. This purchase shows up in many forms--lost time, alcoholism, excessive body fat, debt, poor relationships, isolation, and turmoil. What originally seemed inviting, makes itself bitter. It takes courage and determination to deal with the issues that are uncomfortable and painful. You know better than anyone issues what you want to remain buried. You can try to run from them, but you do not run away from what is hiding. You carry it with you. Make a choice for healing, peace, connectedness, and a way forward that is full of giving and receiving love on a deep level. While it may be a scary and uphill battle, the reward of dealing with the issues will be met with freedom from the bondage you were in, as well as a deep joy for the life that you can now live. You're making a choice to have your life preserved, anchored on a sure path, and one in which the reward will be a life well lived.
