There once was a time when your life offered fun and excitement, and now you are determined to work on keeping things on an even keel. Life is not grim yet, but it is no longer fun and exciting, more like being scolded for everything you do.
If you would like to experience acknowledgment for your efforts and admiration instead of indifference, you need to take a closer look at your environment and see what is actually occurring.
You have gone into agreement with some situations that have taken the joy out of your life, and you did it for the best of reasons, or so you thought. You have compromised your integrity, and you did it for what seemed like the best of reasons. You have taken on a job or entered into a relationship that is slowly sucking the life out of you, and you don’t see any easy way out of your current situation.
If someone were to point out that you are being suppressed, you might agree, but you would probably say, “Only by myself!” and it would be totally true. The unfortunate fact that we are immortal beings makes it possible for us to make the same mistakes over and over again until we are jolted into awareness by someone who knows what is happening and how to stop it.
You are being suppressed, and your life force is being diminished every day you are exposed to the source of your suppression. You may not even recognize that you are holding back from this person, but I can guarantee that you are not comfortable around this person. Join our SRT workshop on Zoom this Sunday and learn the different ways you can recover from this situation and get your life back on track for happiness and self-respect.
If you find you need more help than you get from the workshop, you can work with me in private sessions to handle your situation.
Our workshop will be hosted on Zoom on Sunday at 12 noon EST using the usual link for joining SRT Workshop sessions. If you don’t have the link, send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com and let me know of your interest in participating.
