Protection mechanism

Pandora’s box or a can of worms. That’s the problem with opening either, you have to deal with what’s inside.

The three days of blogs took its toll, Tuesday in particular was tough, there was an overwhelming sadness, close to tears over silly things, emotions were near the surface. The good thing is that I know they’re temporary and sleep always helps, it’s like going down a dip and coming out of the other side. It’s acknowledging the feelings and allowing them to pass through, it’s quite easy to indulge and focus on them though.

It’s like any change worth doing, hard at the start, it’s like learning to run, everything hurts and the brain’s protection mechanism kicks in to say it’s too hard. I have to question the protection mechanism, it gets in the way of growth and change.
