GOAH 147: Spring Cleaning of the Heart and Mind 3.0: Self Pity Girl On A Hill

    • Society & Culture

Why does everything always happen to me? Life isn’t fair! Everything is terrible! We all have these thoughts from time to time, but when we allow them to persist, our pity parties become life-long events that steal our energy, rob us of joy, and keep us focused on our problems. We’re getting real about the dangers of self-pity and talk openly about how our habits of complaint and negativity feed into this destructive habit. We want to be resilient problem solvers, so we wrap it up today with tips, truths, and our need to turn our eyes upward instead of inward if we want to rid ourselves of self-pity for good.
