Hooked On Healing

If you stare at the door for too long, you may miss the window opening. Listen, there are 16-year-olds competing at the Olympics, and I still push on “Pull” doors. So, when was the last time you did something new and different? Believe it or not, some of our limitations are self-imposed. Do you welcome new experiences or shy away from them? Perhaps there’s a food you’ve always wanted to try. Some days, you just have to be thankful for all the different ways to eat potatoes. By the way, do you also plan your outfit based on how much food you plan on eating. I get it.  There may be a place you have always dreamed of visiting. Why haven’t you? It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.

Do you insist on doing everything all by yourself? Indeed, our culture attaches a great deal of importance to independence. But is it possible to overdo it? While we all value guts and grit, society may be feeding you unrealistic goals for your life. When did it become taboo to profit or prosper with the help of others?

You know what they say: Love at first sight is possible, but it pays to take a second look. We all give and receive affection differently. Do you agree? Some people are more capable of sustaining certain types of love than others. We may all agree that unconditional and spiritual love may be the highest form of loyalty and love there is.

Are you an escape artist? Your nights are for overthinking and your mornings are for oversleeping? You did ten sit-ups just hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock? Do you generally avoid dealing with your problems, or do you numb your feelings when they become uncomfortable? The truth is that the best way to escape from your problem is to solve it.

Ever feel like you simply do not fit in anywhere? Listen, if you don’t “fit in,” you’re probably doing the right thing. You do not have to experience life in the way you’ve been told to. Even if you are an all-time extrovert, I’ll bet there have been times when you have also felt off-kilter in social situations.

Sure, you’ve done loads of things that brought you happiness. But didn’t they all seem to come with an expiration date? Having peace of mind, prosperity, and pleasure can be yours, with the right life habits.
