I may care what people think of me, but that does not mean I have to act on it. I can have an emotional reaction, but I don’t have to be controlled by an emotion every time one pops up. I may not get my way at times, but it does not have to kill me. It will pass. A lot of darkness will pass. I have a feeling. I have an addictive solution. But I don’t have to act out that solution. The feeling will pass. Find something else to do, more constructive and less debilitating. Painless solutions are painless for a brief immediate moment. Then they make everything worse. Emotional maturity takes times, and practice. Work with a coach who knows the better path.
