In looking at my last post I realize I am not too far from where I started.....how depressing.
Before I go down that rabbit hole, I must remind myself that any journey towards change is not a straight path but a circular one. We start out and make progress on our journey, but change is hard and we are creatures of habit. I believe our brains are wired to prefer the known (even if it is uncomfortable) over the scary unknown. So we circle back to what we know. Then if we really want or need the change we start out again. Only to circle back once more, hopefully not all the way back to the beginning.
This is not to be used as an excuse; I must keep going if I want to get there after all. But it also means that instead of beating myself up over not making great progress, I should just dust myself off and get going in the right direction.
