One thing I can tell you from personal experience this and I’m sure we will all agree – change is hard. Another thing I know from experience is that change IS possible.
If you read the “About” section of this site, you will see that I was once an extremely negative and even suicidally depressed person. I also used to make a career out of getting high and escaping my problems. Today, I am off all drugs (including alcohol) and I am basically happy and enjoying my life. I’m not one of those hyper annoying types – where everything is awesome! I am a bit more realistic. My brand of happiness is a bit more realistic and I definitely have to work on it. I believe that all the years of negative thinking grooved a pathway in my brain that makes it easy to “go there.”
Today, I tune the negative station out and change the channel to something more positive. It is a choice that is actually very empowering – and a lot better than feeling like I a victim. So let me say again, change is possible. We just have to make a commitment to it. That commitment isn’t made just one time alone but has to be continuously renewed, sometimes on a daily basis. If it is a particularly challenging modification we want to make, or an especially ingrained negative habit we’ve been struggling with for a long time, that commitment may even have to be renewed hourly or even minute-by-minute.
The good thing is that chances are that others have went down that road before. It makes sense to seek out the experts and take the advise of people whose success you want to emulate.
