I NEVER GET “A STORY” FOR WHY SOMEONE LOST OR RAN SHORT OF THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE OR DIABETES MEDICATIONS. 100% OF THE TIME THERE IS A CONVOLUTED STORY BEHIND WHY A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE SUPPLY ( Xanax, Percocet, Adderall, etc.) RAN SHORT OR WENT MISSING.

IF YOUR THOUGHTS ARE RACING IN ONE, ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, INSENSED, AND HURT DIRECTION, PLEASE DO NOT ACT ON THESE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS JUST YET. QUESTION YOURSELF…WHERE DID ALL OF THIS ANGER AND FRUSTRATION ORIGINATE? ASK OTHERS, WHO HAVE ANNOYED YOU OR INSULTED YOU (as opposed to making direct or accusatory statements) ABOUT THEIR INTENTIONS AND MOTIVATIONS.

IF WE REPEATEDLY GRIND OUT A FULL DAYS’ WORTH OF WORK AND RESPONSIBILITIES, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THIS WORK JUST IN TIME TO EAT AND GO TO BED. NO MATTER HOW MUCH REWARD, LOVE, GRIT, RESILIENCE, AND SUPPORT WE RECEIVE, SOONER OR LATER, OUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH WILL SCREAM OUT WITH EXHAUSTION, PAIN, IRRITABILITY, DISEASE, AND BURNOUT.

ONCE THE PHONES GO ON, OR YOU RESPOND TO AN EMAIL, OR YOUR WORK UNLOCKS THE DOORS, OR EVEN IF PEOPLE HAVE A HINT THAT YOU ARE AWAKE, IT IS AS IF A STARTING GUN FOR THE DAY HAS GONE OFF AND YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO START RUNNING.

SOMETIMES WE ARE IN SO DEEPLY INTO A SITUATION OR A RELATIONSHIP, THAT WE LOSE A SENSE OF HOW DIFFERENT THINGS COULD BE OR SHOULD BE.
I often hear comments from people who are drowning in terrible relationships, “Is this normal?”, “How do I know if this is normal?”, “Does it have to be this way?”, “Part of the problem has been me, and my [weight, depression, parents, work, kids from another relationship…] issues.”
My question to them is, “What would you say, or advise, to a younger you or to a younger friend?”

SOMETIMES IT IS OVERWHELMINGLY SAD WHEN WE THINK ABOUT WHAT WE MISSED OUT ON…WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN.
“You are where you should be.” You, the present and total “you”, exists because of the sum total of the good, the bad, and the indifferent of what has happened to you.

WE HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES… FOR MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE VOICE, WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT ANSWER WE WANT TO/HOPE TO HEAR, WHAT ANSWER WE NEED TO HEAR, OR WE CAN REASONABLY PREDICT WHAT AN ANSWER WILL BE.

CHECK OURSELVES…IF WE HAVE A HARD TIME SITTING STILL IN ORDER TO HAVE FOCUSED ATTENTION FOR 30 MINUTES, WITHOUT MUSIC OR BACKGROUND SCREENS RUNNING, THEN WE NEED TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR MINDS.
