In our HELP! SITUATION SPOTLIGHT™ series, we shine the light on challenges that community members have shared with me. This episode is, “I Am Addicted to Self-Pity!”
Addiction is an awful state to be in (no matter whether it is caused by choices, brain chemistry, traumatic events, or any other catalyst). The perception of being unable to control yourself is frightening and destructive. Whether it is food, finance, romance, substances, or any other issue it is a scary place to be to struggle for control of yourself. Some will advise you to cede control to others (people and/ or entities that "you are powerless over"), others advise you to take control (“get yourself together!”). In this show we explore questions and share perspectives and potential solutions and I encourage you to do so for yourself. What is the best way for someone to handle an addiction to their own thoughts of self-pity?

Am I? How do I know?” Where there is smoke there is (often) fire! In other words, if you think you are being harassed at work, you often are being harassed at work. Why do you think you are being harassed? Be [...] In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not. We are warriors fighting to establish clarity between what is accurate and what is simply a myth (or falsehood) in life. Our topic is, “I am scared. My fear is holding me back in life.” - Part 2 of 2
Fear - “An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat:” (Oxford Dictionary) We are all scared and frightened at times. We all face the option to succumb to fear or to run away from it. We will use two quotes from US leaders in Part 2 of this program (one a former First Lady and one a former President of the United States). “We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.” - Eleanor Roosevelt (longest serving First Lady of the US) “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who [...] |
