Hi, Kitties, It's September already! Wow,
how time flies! What a concept when we all know that there is no such
thing as time! Something that does not exist actually flying! Well,
this month we are going to investigate addictions.
You say, "I am not addicted to alcohol or any drug, prescription
or illegal!" I say "wrong type of addiction". It's not
a substance thing; it's an emotional thing. Do people on the road upset
you? Do people on your job upset you? Does the jerk brother in law
upset you? Does_____ (you fill in the blank) upset you? Well, it's
an addiction and you are addicted to being upset by these people. And
what's worse, it's YOUR OWN fault. Yes, yours! So what do we do about
it? So what can we or you or anyone else do to get rid of these emotional
addictions?
Well, it's so simple it's ridiculous, but not so easy. You see, when
we no longer allow someone to aggravate us, they will go away and aggravate
someone else and we are FREE! Yes, that is the answer. However, how
do we get ourselves in a position so that they no longer upset us?
Well, we just ignore them. We recognize that they are going to harass
someone and they don't care who! You, your sister, your brother, etc,
it makes no difference who, just as long as they can get their "jollies" from
upsetting someone. |
So - now that you know that, you have to
get into a mindset that will not allow you to get upset. If you know
that it's not personal because they don't care who they upset as long
as they can upset someone, you can decide that it isn't going to be
you! What a concept! What an idea! Just know that it will be someone
else when it's not you any more and don't let it bother you anymore.
I like it! The idea that this yahoo who is addicted to upsetting me
will have to look to someone else when I stop getting upset excites
me! Maybe it will be his or her partner and they could end up being
alone and lonely! Good punishment for someone who bugs you? NO! You
see it's 50% you because if you did not get upset, they would stop
bugging you! Now at first it will be hard to ignore them because you
too are addicted to the chemicals your body produces when you get upset.
However, the more you don't allow yourself to get upset, the more they
will leave you alone until your addiction is gone and so are they!
Then you are FREE! Now look around to see who they are bugging because
they are still addicted to the adrenalin that results from the trauma
and drama.
