Stop seeking external fixes for internal issues from "summary" of Stop Doing That Sh*t by Gary John Bishop
When you're struggling with something internally, it's easy to fall into the trap of seeking external fixes to try and make it all better. You turn to distractions, substances, or other people in the hopes that they'll be able to solve your problems for you. But the truth is, these external solutions can only provide temporary relief at best. They can't truly address the root of the issue, which lies within you. Instead of looking outside of yourself for answers, you need to turn inward and confront the internal issues that are causing you pain. This means taking a hard look at your beliefs, behaviors, and thought patterns to identify the underlying issues that need to be addressed. It requires a willingness to be honest with yourself and to take responsibility for your own healing. By seeking external fixes for internal issues, you're only masking the symptoms of a deeper problem. You're avoiding the discomfort of facing your own demons and doing the hard work necessary to truly change. But until you confront these internal issues head-on, you'll never be able to find lasting peace and fulfillment. It's time to stop running from yourself and start doing the work to heal from within. This means being willing to challenge your own beliefs and assumptions, to let go of old patterns that no longer serve you, and to embrace the discomfort that comes with growth. It's not easy, but it's the only way to truly break free from the cycle of seeking external fixes for internal issues. So, the next time you feel yourself reaching for a distraction or a quick fix to numb the pain, remember that true healing comes from within. It's time to stop looking outside of yourself for answers and start doing the work to confront your internal issues head-on. Only then will you be able to experience true transformation and lasting change.
