Despite our best intentions, things go wrong- relationships fail, our loved ones die, we develop health problems, financial issues crop up. No matter how much we try to avoid it, pain follows us everywhere."This isn't what I wanted, but this is what I got"While pain is not optional, suffering usually is. And struggling with anything to make it other than what it actually is, creates this suffering. This means that we need to understand and accept that what we do matters, but we are not really in charge. This is key to dealing with our struggles in a new and healthier way. Suffering results from struggling with what is beyond our control.In the last part of this podcast episode, I take you through a journaling exercise to help you get to know yourself better and understand your own value and worth as a person. As you do so you will find that you no longer depend on external approvals, circumstances and accomplishments to determine your own sense of self worth. This is the starting point of your journey towards dealing with your struggles in a healthier and more effective manner.If you liked this podcast episode, please leave a REVIEW iTunes.
