Your Thoughts Are Trying to Help You
On working with the inner landscape.
Inner conflict shows up with me the way it does for everyone. We battle with the voices in our minds. My battles used to be tough and plentiful, like it was my default state to be at odds with my own thoughts.
I used to believe them, but I didn’t want to believe them so I’d fight to prove them wrong anyway, fail, and internalize their message in the end. Defeat me as they may, I only gave them so much attention because some part of me knew, these thoughts are everything I have, in a way.
Then a few years ago I started therapy. I learned to get curious about these thoughts. These voices.
