I think we all feel this way. And the worse thing about it is being told that it is our "choice" to feel this way. Right! Like I just got out of bed one morning and decided I was tired of feeling good and I would now "choose" to feel like donkey dung.
Think about the word "bootstrap." If we pull ourselves up by them, aren't we going to fall on our faces?
We didn't get this way overnight and we aren't going to get better overnight either. Babysteps is a better word. Take a couple of steps and go smack! down on your diaper. Next time a couple more, then a couple more 'till you can walk without falling *all* the time. Then learn how to run. With the wind.
