Yup, I've been stuck for a while and this time is just what I need to focus on making some readjustments. I am not thankful that there is a World pandemic happening. I am thankful I still have a job and time to work on self improvement. Integrating 5 personalities to 1 was a major shift in thinking. However, for about the last year I felt like I was running in place. Expending a bunch of energy but not going anywhere. Treadmills have their place in the gym not my life. Enter an online opportunity that I've known about for a while but afraid to try. I decided to sign up for a web seminar specifically about changing my thinking in yet another paradigm shift.
Paradigms are out habits of thinking our pattern we structured for our lives. It usually takes a fairly hefty upheaval to get people to even consider changing their patterns of living. Counseling helped me with my integration of self. Before I started I wasn't even aware of what patterns of thinking were controlling my life. I joke that I was in the last to know category for how I was living. Counseling was hard work. My therapist described the process as ripping out my entire rotting foundation and starting over. Therapy is work. I also gave myself my own homework assignments in addition to what my counselor asked me to do.
After 10 years of counseling I went on my own, for about the last 5 years, I continued my self improvement. This past year I felt stuck. I know how much work is involved in a paradigm shift, but I think it is time for me to take the next step in embracing thriving.
