I want to take a look at a common pattern but from a different perspective.

Fighting for your stories.

You know the ones.

The negative, terrible, everything is against you type of stories.

The ones that we all tell sometimes, because they just seem SO TRUE and based on facts. 

You know, our brains actually have a mechanism that will seek to prove us right, whether good or bad.

And the truth is, you are right about whatever you believe.

To you it is absolutely true.

But, do you want to keep experiencing negative or scary stories and create more to match that? 

You might say of course you want to think more positively.

But what I have found is that you may not actually want to change it.

Because you’re looking for someone to witness your pain and suffering.

To tell you that you’re justified in feeling how you do, that of course you were wronged.

The way I would describe it is like feeling spacey and slightly agitated, but nothing in particular has happened to cause it.

You’ve had enough food, rest, and everything is pretty relaxed but there’s a low level of uneasiness in your awareness.

Noticing time passing by faster, or slower, crying o...

How do you feel about your life right now?

When I ask people that question I’m often met with two different responses.

The first one is full out complaining about everything and everyone in their life.

The second response is forcing a smile and trying to make everything seem great while covering up the truth of how they really feel.

What do these two responses have in common?

They both are focused on making something wrong. Making others wrong for how they are being or not being or making yourself wrong for feeling how you feel.

Looking for things to be wrong keeps you stuck in a loop of judgment.

You don’t create new things by noting everything you dislike.

But it's also not a great idea to bury your head in the sand and pretend you’re happy when you’re not.

The fake it till you make it method can work short term, but in the long run you are likely squishing old anger, pain, and resentful feelings deep down into your physical body.
