Your welcome, Rising….
Glad to see you once again have alotted
your money
To the right people/places and trying your best
To Avoid triggers….
Regarding what you say about feeling bad over the money you have lost over the last decade, I do agree with Kin’s suggestion of writing down a journal of your gratitude list for sure …I certainly try to!
But I also want to add something -it’s a short story, but I think it’s important to share it with you & everyone on this therapy site …I have a favourite baseball team ;now called the “Cleveland guardians“
So at the beginning of the season I said to myself “I wonder how the broadcasters on the radio (which I love to listen to,) are going to transition from “Cleveland Indians”to the Cleveland guardians …saying the name I mean, so I thought they may have a couple of mock broadcastings before the season starts??
Well to my surprise, they did slip up a couple of times and say “Indians“ or they have said “tribe”!!
Well lately, when I listen to the broadcast, they have now completely transitioned over to, Cleveland guardians“
What I’m saying is, when we are used to doing a certain motion/act…
And we have done it for a long time, we have to be patient while trying hard
To change …What I am not saying is …it is perfectly OK to fail -no!!if you can succeed ; do so for sure!!
But it does take some time and effort to re-train our brain into not gambling
Regardless of what negative /bad things
We faced that day/week…
Hope this helps 🙂
