When you put it that way, I think a lot more people destroy themselves than we might think.

It occurred to me immediately that people with autoimmune disorders destroy themselves on cellular level. And aside from substance abusers there are those choose the cheeseburger instead of broccoli with garlic sauce, or have a sugary treat for dessert.

Suppose you could direct your destructiveness to someone or something other than yourself? Do you think you would still ... be self-destructive? Or, where does that energy originate? Are you acting out some self-hatred based on how someone else treated you once?

During that half hour, can you redirect that destructive energy into "attacking" clutter or destroying weeds?
