With all this advanced technology with these subs I sometimes think that it means I can avoid more painful or uncomfortable stuff. But it's better to go through it than avoid it. It's funny because in a way I have a tendency to procrastinate on my own internal emotional healing. Like I put it off and tell myself tomorrow will be better, but it's not because I didn't address it.
One major insight I've had is there's a difference between the negative stories we tell ourselves vs the emotions and beliefs generating those things. I've learned to see any type of negative feeling as something at the root that needs to be healed instead of instantly jumping into that rumination where I create a depressing narrative to explain the feelings. It's been a good shift in how I've been thinking about my problems lately. I feel more determination and courage to tackle the things that need to be taken care of without being swallowed up by them.
