Is your mind-set increasing or decreasing your options?

Your mind-set either increases or decreases your options. If your thinking is sick, this will be restricting for you. If you merely react in situations, either defensively or offensively, then your options are decreased. Why do you react? Possibly because you’re trying to protect yourself from experiencing an unbearable feeling.

Any time you overreact in a circumstance (and the most common form of overreacting is anger), this is a sign for you to know that you’re protecting yourself from experiencing an unbearable feeling. Until such time as you confront your unbearable feeling face to face and make friends with it, your mind will always be decreasing your options.

Once your unbearable feelings are faced, your welds have been identified, your default mood uncovered and some other self-exploration done, your mind will begin increasing your options. Haven’t you remained stuck in a rut long enough? It’s time to break free!
