I guess for the longest time I have been feeling sorry for myself... I have been in therapy for years, and I must say that yes it has helped, but nothing has really changed! I want and need to change my life, someone on these boards said that anyone can get better....and better is what I want. She suggested getting to the core issues of my childhood and learn how those core issues affect my current life today! Honestly, I felt that rehashing my childhood was frugal, but perhaps she is right. Perhaps those are the issues that I still deal with daily, the feelings that I felt then are truely what controls my life today. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to change my behavior or my reactions but I do know that it begins somewhere with rethinking how my childhood is still controlling my actions today!
Today I visited a site for some motivation and this is what I found...
Do something about it
When something is troubling you, make the commitment to change it. Then begin to act on that decision right away.
Some of the influences in your life are under your control, and many of those influences are outside your control. Yet you can always decide upon and put into action a positive response to anything.
Don't sit around being amazed at how miserable you are and at how unfairly life is treating you. Instead, be amazed at how quickly and effectively you can do something about it.
Don't complain to others about how tough it is for you. Instead, inspire them with your positive and enthusiastic attitude and actions.
When the world feels all wrong, that's a valuable signal. It's your way of telling yourself to get going and make a difference.
You have plenty of good options if you'll simply make the effort to find them. Pick the best one, get busy putting it into action, and take positive control of your world.
