Things change.
Our comfort zones can crumble in an instant.
Just when we thought it was safe to open up.
We might find ourselves in a week-long funk triggered by the random act of some stranger.
Or that person closest to us did it again.
Or fail to do it again.
And we're in misery again.
The following 14 words.
A teaching from Drs.
Ron and Mary Holnick and Spiritual Psychology.
Can shorten your downtime.
And bring clarity whenever an issue crops up.

Is the issue.
How I relate to myself when I'm going through the issue,
Is the issue.
I invite you to return to a recent upset.
Maybe you're in the middle of one right now.
Put aside the details of what happened and who did it and focus on how you related to yourself.
Was your internal voice making I am statements like,
I'm a victim.
I'm unworthy,
I'm not.
Good enough.
I'm unlovable.
I'm hopeless.
If you held an image of yourself,
What was it?

In conflict with someone.
Or are you weak?
A rescuer.
A bad guy.
Or are you wracked with fear?
In other words.

How did you relate to yourself?
How I relate to myself,
When I'm going through the issue,
Is the issue.
In a challenging situation how we relate to ourselves.
Determines whether it's just a problem to be solved or.

A problem,
Solving,
And emotional suffering.
The script for How We Relate to Ourselves in Crisis is written early in life.
And by the time we're adults,
It's usually operating below our level of awareness.
These 14 words can remind you that your old patterns of thinking and feeling might be causing you needless pain.
They're like a flashlight in the shadows.
Where we often find painful versions of ourselves.
Calling out for self-forgiveness and love.
These 14 words remind us that we have a choice.
