When nothing exciting is happening, can you still be okay with yourself?
Sometimes the hardest part is what comes after the excitement—the quiet, the boredom, or the feelings that a distraction helped you avoid.
That’s where building a loving relationship with yourself becomes practice. Can you feel restless without immediately reaching for something? Can you be upset without demanding an answer right now?
Taking your power back begins with noticing that urge and giving yourself a choice.
Before you reach for the next distraction, ask: “What am I hoping this will change about how I feel?”
You don’t have to love every feeling. But you can learn to stay with yourself through it. That’s part of learning to deal with life on life’s terms.
