A healthcare professional had stated to me months ago that it was not going to be easy adjusting to my "new" life. He was not kidding! In other words, we as human beings are more comfortable with what we know in our lfe, regardless if we are happy or unhappy. It is familiar to us. Therefore, people stay in unhappy relationships, etc. It is harder to make a change in our lives and take a look at ourselves. It is easier to be miserable. I have found this to be true.
For years, I was unhappy due to various circumstances in my life. I was playing the victim. With a lot of work, I have been able to leave that mentality in the past, but it is not easy! For instance, when things happen in life which are negative, I tend to go back to that way of thinking. But like a computer, our minds can be reprogrammed, and that is what I had to do. I can no longer say "why me"; I just have to move past the obstacle and move on. I never considered myself a happy person, but I have been better since I made some changes in my life. It has not been easy for me, but I knew in the long run I would be better off and I am. Change is scary. It brings with it a whole list of new problems. However, I would rather that than live unhappily, wasting my life and watching the years go by. I no longer wait for life to happen to me. I am an active participant. I don't like watching from the sidelines. I will elaborate more on these changes in the next post.
