#828: Being Extreme is Complicated
After 800+ episodes diving deep into attachment theory, Tracy’s making a shift. Freedom from Attachment is becoming UNcomplicated.
Why? Even after all that work, she was still treating herself like “what’s wrong?” The age-old question lingering from birth… what needs fixing?
Ya know when things are happening that suck or it seems difficult to have what you want—some of us go to “what am I doing wrong?” Or “Is it just me, and if so how do I change it so I am happy?”
You can do all the work and still be waiting to arrive at some magical place where you’re finally “happy.” That place doesn’t exist. You don’t arrive to happy, you decide to be happy even when your life ain’t all that!
The whole wrong thing–most anxious avoidant people don’t realize, you’re an extremist. Black or white–right or wrong. No gray. And that’s exhausting as f***.
Anywho–even if you’re attached or you are not where you want to be—can’t things be okay now?Instead of finding the solution, it’s to allow things inside to move, shift and change without it being a lifelong pursuit. “If only I hadn’t said this or done that.”
Let’s get Uncomplicated. It all came in a dream, simplicity is a choice and it’s how I want to live. How about you?
So–the UNcomplicated series will be talking about how to get UNboxed. We are in a box, and I am not going to magically change you in a weary world. I’m supplying fun while growing. Yeah–so listen in and have some fun!
In this episode, Tracy explores:
- Why treating yourself as a science project keeps you stuck
- “Not your fault” vs. “your responsibility”
- Living in the gray instead of extremes
- Having fun even when life totally sucks
“It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Nobody can fix it for you. Nobody.”
