Thoughts And Feelings Cycle
/
Feeling angry at your husband. Feeling resentment towards your life. Feeling regret because how you’ve been – you never thought you would be this way.
Frustrated because it feels like you will never change. Depressed because you wonder what’s wrong with you.
All of those thoughts and feelings.
So many thoughts and feelings.
It feels easier to push it all away, to not deal with them.
Sometimes it feels easier to feel nothing.
But then you also know that it’s a lie, because you eventually end up facing them. Many times it’s just a hullabaloo when you do, crying and sobbing and all the feels as your husband sits there wondering what on earth he’s supposed to do? (Doesn’t he know you just need a hug? I mean, the perfect reassuring words would be nice, but you gave up hoping for those a long time ago.)
How well do you know this cycle?
How helpless do you feel, not knowing what to do about it?
But even with this helplessness, there’s a part of you that knows it doesn’t have to be this way. There’s a part of you that believes you can change.
This is why the cycle- you want to be different, so you try again. Only to have your brain tell you that It is what it is. You will always be like this. There’s no point in trying. It’s too hard to try figure this out. You don’t know what you’re doing anyway. And back in you go.
We have two parts of our brain – the one that can think long term, and the one that is just in the here and now.
The part of you that believes you can change, and the part that thinks there is no point.
In order to work through this, you need to utilize the part of you that wants what’s best for you. The part that knows your deepest desire, the life that you want to live.
The part that wonders if it’s worth it is coming along for the ride, but it doesn’t get to determine where you go.
You do.
What is that voice telling you? What does it believe is possible?
Is it to heal from depression?
Is it to be content with your life?
Is it to stop yelling at your kids?
Is it to not feel resentment towards your husband?
Is it to be able to respond in love?
Is it to be able to be a happy and fun mom again?
Is it to actually enjoy your life, bajillion kids and all?
Is it all of them?
Listen to that voice.
It knows where to go.
P.S. Sound like you? I can help you stop this cycle and start a new one. One that you (and your husband) will like a lot more. One where you know exactly why you’re feeling the way you are, you know what to do about it, and you do it. We work together for 3 months, with weekly calls. You will be a changed woman by the end of it - cheesy, but truer than you can know.
Let’s dive in.
