And, yes, it's really hard to break the cycle. I hope you can take that leap of faith and break out of the cycle. You can be the person you want to be.
you're absolutely right. And it reminds me that I'm going to use a CBT video course to help me establish back control of the thoughts feelings behavior cycle.
thanks, I'm taking the leap of faith for sure. Some things have happened and the hole is definitely deep enough. Certain things have reached their end.
Being the person I want to be.....exactly. I'm going to make this a "life purpose". I've heard this so many times that it's good to have a life purpose but I could never really work it out.
I've just found one....This is how I'm framing it. Continuous personal and spiritual growth, excellence and enlightenment.
