Life is 50/50 - how do you make that work for you?
from Thrive Beyond Pornography · host Zach Spafford
- Opposition in all things- How often do you think you will feel good? – what percentage of time?- What percentage of time do you think that you feel bad?- What does it mean to resist feelings?- When you resist feelings, you are not only denying yourself negative feelings that may serve you, if you feel them to their fullest for a short period, but you are likely also not able to feel positive feelings that may well serve you too.- 50/50 rule is that half the time, no matter what, your life is, no matter who you are, you are going to feel negative emotions. - We often feel like there is something external that is going to make us feel like we have “arrived” - Truth is, that the guy who makes a million dollars a year has just as many down days as a guy that makes $35k- The woman who weights 125 has just as many down days as the woman who weights 250- We want to think that we will not have negative emotions because negative emotions are bad in our mind and that means that there is something wrong with us. - It is a lie that people who have x don’t have negative emotions. - Negative emotions are part of the package of opposition in all things. - What negative emotions are you trying to avoiding when you are buffering with pornography or other things?- What negative emotions are you creating when you buffer with pornography or other things?- What positive feelings are you reserving for when you overcome your pornography use?
