Pain?

Anxiety?

Food and drink habits?

Money stuff?

I can keep going Let me break this down a little as I get that the first line may seem like conscious riddles…

You know the thing you say you don’t want in your life anymore

The stuff that you keep working on

Yet somehow

Somewhere

In the middle of a conversation With a friend

Or a stranger

Slip out

You tell your story

And bang there’s the validation

There’s the connection

You unconsciously seek

And then you may or may not realise

Right after

Or a little while later

And you say to yourself

Why the fuck did I just speak about it?

I say I don’t want it in my life anymore

Yet I keep going on about it…Doh!

It could be a birthday party

Or a work do

Or a coffee you’re having with a friend on a weekend afternoon

And they mention something about their pain here and there

And you right away chime in about yours

Or Someone mentions something about anxiety

And you know you want to get over it in your life

Yet you use it as a validation to get things your way

Or to connect with people ‘feeling your pain’

See what I mean here?

Here’s your chance to come clean

To make a statement

To be vulnerable

And to share

Your commitment

To respond differently to an old trigger

It’s a challenge to our ego

It’s a challenge to our stories

You can play the child, You can play the victim,

Yet when you strip it back to bare bones

The question ultimately always is

What are you going to do about it?!
