Sit with It

I often hear people say they don’t want to “dwell” on something.

Why?

Society has taught us that the best way to handle life on earth is to simply step over anything unpleasant and don’t let it worry or bother you.

Hmmmm, sounds easy….

So why, for many of us, do we need external stuff [insert drugs, alcohol, sex, junk food, excessive anything …] for us to achieve this “handling of life”?

What if we saw “dwelling” as part of the process?

Part of the recovery.

Part of acceptance, of healing.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
