Cutting certain habits and/or people out of your life can be very therapeutic. When I find myself wondering why certain things happened and begin to dwell over how these things could have been different, I plunge into a negative cycle of useless thinking. Thinking that can be much better directed on more important things in my life.
It’s taken me a while to realize this habit and sometimes the best solution is just to cut the chord – both the mental and the physical one. Now I don’t mean this in a negative, bitter way but more in a self-preserving way. A way to keep myself sane and happy. Cutting things out works best when I do it as soon as I realize the problem.
Eureka – and that’s the problem in and of itself!
Often we don’t see the clear picture until we are either hurt or someone else reminds us. I’m grateful for my wonderful friends in this department who’ll “lovingly” kick my butt whenever they realize what it is I’m doing.
When it comes to men, taking this approach is probably the healthiest way to avoid over-infatuation with the wrong person. The things that on the surface can be so appealing blind the not-so-appealing parts. You know it’s time to cut that person out when you realize the good doesn’t outweigh the bad.
All things aside, we all know in our gut what is right for us and what isn’t. True power is when you know it isn’t right and aren’t afraid to walk away from it.
