@rabbi_shais_taub: There's a saying that pain is unavoidable, but suffering is optional. I actually prefer to say that suffering is self-inflicted. Pain is a natural response to something that hurts. We don't have a choice about that. But suffering often comes from the story we tell ourselves afterward, especially when that story turns an unpleasant experience into evidence that life is somehow against us. Emotional sobriety doesn't mean becoming someone who never feels pain. It means learning to experience pain without adding an entire story of victimhood to it. #emotionalhealth #selfawareness #painandsuffering #personalgrowth #rabbishaistaub

Having a child has actually helped me with this. I feel like I have much less time in general so now I often react to things like: well that was unfortunate, and then immediately move on. Epitome of "I ain't got time for that"
