Category: Psychotherapy and Recovery Work

Choices exist in this world. Do you know what your choices are? Your path beckons.*

First is your choice to either keep living as you are living or move toward freedom and change.

If you continue to follow your routine in a life that is unhappy, neglect your yearning and fulfill the expectations of others you will maintain your status quo and gradually feel worse. If you can’t find your way to change you may try to distract yourself with activities and substances or temporary and short-lived thrills. When you emerge, you see nothing improved and your life may have disintegrated more during your absence.

*The caterpillar may lead a joyous life, but at the end of the life cycle it goes into reclusion for transformation. That may be joyous until the change is complete. Now the new being works its way into a different life as the worn out chyrsalis crumbles.

A quiet self-talk statement to keep yourself centered and awake is this:  I can find my path to joy.

Bored? Restless? Lonely? Feeling guilty about wasting time? Overeating? Starving? Numbing yourself in bars? Sex becoming dull? People uninteresting?

You weren’t always like this.
