I don’t always find the “Why” questions very useful but that is probably why I’m not a Psychotherapist. I do think it is helpful for some people but focusing on how to change the current pattern is much more useful for me personally. Thanks.

Welcome to the world of nutrition. The foods proomted have nothing to do with health and well being. Read any health advice book by gov , dieticians etc and you will find lovely propagandistic remarks such as grains are essential part of diet . based on no science at all.All for money

It is actually great to see you using a whats at risk for confronting or pointing out some behavior he uses to protect himself from a risky situation in such a non shaming way. Beautiful. I often felt like a weight being lifted from me whenever i was acknowledged in this way.

Thanks Dmitri. Yes!

I find a good place to start the conversation with one-self to interrupt the “why pattern” is “Thank you Self for keeping me safe all these years. I survived to tell the tale. And now I will use a more nuanced strategy for even better outcomes.”

Cheers,
Murray

“Why am I like this,” or “What is wrong with me?,” are very different questions than “When and under what circumstances did I adopt this strategy,” in my opinion.

Stroke of ‘a ha moment’

Wow, I’m new here. I was googling ‘losing heart’ and so glad I did.

The best segment I took from this post is ‘you have to look at who you are being when you ask “why” and when you try to “fix it.”

This nailed it for me, because when I was coming from a discouraged, disheartened, disappointed subconscious place, essentially what I was doing is coming from a negative place pursuing my heart’s longing.

Negative and positive cancel each other out, positive and positive yield greater results.

In order to reach my heart I have to come from the heart. Not *from* mental or emotional barriers.

Total agreement in turning to higher power, in my case, that would be to Allah.

Much thanks for this post, just subscribed for more of these goodies.

Boy is that ever true. “Giving up action but hoping things somehow change” is a MAJOR life-slower.

I’m just suggesting that it is worth emphasizing the word ACTION in your presentation, as so much of what fails to get done in this world is a result of patient HOPING and persistent WISHING.
