"Option, which at this time is currently full, sorry for those of you on the waiting list, but I do appreciate you reaching out. And if you want to be a part of the patron program and support the show, go to patron dot the overwhelmed brain dot com, and I appreciate you existing patron members. I hope you're getting value from the resources in the program. And I also want to thank you if you use the Amazon link at the overwhelmed brain dot com. That's another way to support the show. If you're getting value from this show and you like to shop on Amazon, you can do it from my site. Not really. I mean, you click the Amazon button. It takes you to Amazon, and then you can shop for anything you want, and Amazon sends us a few pennies on the dollar for every purchase you make. It's a great way to support the show and it's also very passive. You can just do it whenever you want. And no show would be complete if I didn't tell you about the mean workbook over at love and abuse dot com. The mean workbook is for you if you are in a relationship that is just too difficult. Relationships shouldn't be difficult they should be easy. They should be sharing experiences and going through life together holding hands, looking at the same sunset, not different horizons where you're on one path and your partners on the other. That's not fun, and if you're in a relationship that just seems too difficult and you feel like you can't do anything right and you could just never satisfy your partner, there's always this dark cloud hanging over. You might be in an emotionally abusive relationship. I hope you're not, but if you have any thought that you might be or you want to find out if you are, take the mean assessment test. Go to love and abuse dot com and check out the mean workbook, it may be just what you need. It's not only an assessment, it's also a way to help you get through a difficult relationship, and it doesn't always mean breaking up it could mean just having the right conversation and bringing out what needs to be said, so that you can work on it. Love and abuse dot com. And finally, I'd like to thank Kevin MacLeod of incompetent dot com for some of the music transitions in the overwhelmed brain. And like I said at the beginning of the show, I'm going to read you the email that inspired this episode. From someone I'm going to call bob. You said I could use his real name, but I don't know, I don't think that's a good idea. So bob wrote, thank you for being here. You've helped me in ways I can't explain. You're welcome bob. I am, however, having issues staying on the path of enlightenment. I was in a non traditional relationship with someone, Friends with benefits, and I fell hard for this woman. We realized I was on one level and she was not on the same level. We ended things, however, we have continued to stay in contact and little ways here and there. She does things that trigger me and as I'm sure trigger her as well. Recently I've said or done things that I'm not proud of due to being in a low place and feeling very emotionally triggered. I know I need to sever all contact with this person, but I'm having a hard time letting go, and I find myself wanting to lash out at anyone that I come into contact with, and even some that I don't, like her. I know that I'm, I know that what I'm doing is toxic behavior, however, she is doing the same. It's very ugly and I feel like I'm spiraling out of control of my own feelings and emotions as well as well as my actions. I also need to add that she would do things in the relationship that led to me not being able to trust her, even though she may not have been doing anything wrong, I still felt the lost of trust. Thank you for just being here. Sincerely, bob. All right, thank you so much for sharing that. One of the things that you mentioned was having trouble staying on the path of enlightenment, and that's what this whole show is about. Probably doesn't get into your specifics, but it does get into what the path and enlightenment entails. So that's why I focused on that. I think that it's vital if you're to zoom out and look at all the problems in your life, staying on a path or getting on a path to enlightenment, is a path of freedom to get away from, like I said, all these resistances, all these problems in our life. And the problem that you describe that happened to you, first of all, anytime you're in a relationship that isn't really a romantic relationship that includes an attachment like we were talking about earlier where it's just a friend with benefits, it's so risky because one of you may fall for the other, and the other may not have those same feelings. So I've done my best to avoid any type of relationship like that, only because it can turn into one friend wants more than the other friend. Situation. And it can be they continue being Friends with benefits, which is fine if it's consensual and all that. But when one person falls for the other person, now you've created a bad situation. And you can tell what happened. As soon as you started falling for her, you probably started becoming jealous. You probably started judging her behaviors in a way that you would, if you were in a relationship instead of just a friendship, as soon as the tides turn and now you're having feelings, this is where things can go sour in this kind of relationship. So I don't necessarily advise this kind of relationship if you have a tendency to fall in love easily because this is what happens. You said that she didn't fall for you, but you fell for her and now you're being triggered and she's feeling triggered and you didn't mention if she is now falling for you or not. It sounds like she isn't, which means you are trying to keep something alive that she doesn't want alive. You are trying to manifest a relationship with one person that doesn't want a relationship. And this is the vital component, isn't it? In order to make a relationship work, you have to have two people that are willing to go forward with it, but only one is, which means you are now the person pursuing someone who doesn't want it, and you are now creating your own suffering. And I think you know this. I think you know that you're going for something that you can't stop thinking about. You're trying to be with someone that doesn't want to be with you, and you know you're suffering because of it. I would highly recommend you listen to my shows on obsessiveness, feeling obsessed about your ex breaking up and grieving the breakup because one of the most important things that I've done that I've learned in my relationships, and I've had quite a few that that all broke up with me, which means they were mostly surprises, so these surprise breakups came into my life, and now I have to figure out how not to be depressed. Every time it happened, I learned that I had to grieve the breakup as if it were a death. As if they died, and if you still have any contact with this person, it might be best to sever it, like you said. I think you're right, you need to sever contact, but you have no idea how important that is. Because as you continue any type of relationship with this person, as long as you have feelings, you'll never get out of the cycle that vicious obsessive I want you back cycle. You have to get out of the cycle and the only way to do it is to cut ties. I mean, I'm sure there's other ways, but this is the most effective way that I have learned how to heal from a relationship ending is to cut all ties is to not watch them on social media is to pretend they're dead. Because when they're dead, I can say to myself, okay, I wake up tomorrow and I know she's dead. That's kind of morbid, but this is my practice. I know she's dead. There's nothing I can do. What am I gonna do instead? Because I can't think, well, maybe she's thinking about starting a relationship with me. Maybe she's thinking about coming back. I can't think like that because she's dead. In my mind, I'm creating this scenario. So if that's true, you know, this is the little visualization I do on my head. If that's true, if she's dead, and she won't ever decide to come back. What do I do then? Well, Jesus, she's not going to come back. I'm going to be sad and lonely and I won't know what to do and but that's good because now you're reaching that level in the ham concept of acceptance. I'm accepting that this person will never, ever change. You have to accept that she will never change. Now, when I say that, do I mean it 100% is that always true in every case, of course not. But if you accept that someone else or the situation will never change ever. That frees you up to do other things. It starts the healing process. It's like I was telling my girlfriend the other day, I said, you know, my wife said it was time to get a divorce. I talked to her and I was like, what a divorce are you sure? And she thought about it. And then she said, yes, I'm sure. And at that moment, I decided to accept her decision instead of resisting it. I hated it. I didn't want it to be true. I would have done anything in the world to change her mind. But I chose to accept her at her word. And when I did that, the very next day, I went to file for divorce. The next day I contacted her so that I got the divorce story that got the paperwork started, and she goes, what? And I said, what? What do you mean? It's just that you already filed. I was like, well, yeah. Didn't you want that? And she said, well, yes. But it's just so soon. It was like the day after, and I was like, of course, I took you for your word unless you're saying that you're thinking about changing your mind. You know, it was hard for me to say this. It was hard for me to step into that person. That was going to be divorced. Something that I thought was going to last forever. But here she is, she wants the divorce. So the very next day I went and got the papers and started the process, and she was surprised, but then she goes, no, okay. I guess yeah, I guess that's it, then. I was like, yeah, I mean, unless you're telling me you want to change your mind. I'm perfectly open and willing to talk about it. And she just kind of looks sad and said no, no. I was like, okay. And that was it. And that helped me start the healing process. It was sudden, but I knew I accepted that she was never going to change her mind. This caused me to heal much faster than if I had drawn it out and hoped and prayed and wished and waited for her to change her thoughts or feelings or try to convince her that I was a great guy and then she should come back to me. I just took all of that out of the equation accepted that she would never change her mind, and that allowed me to heal. Because what's the worst thing that could happen? The worst thing that can happen with that is that she changes her mind in a couple months, and we get divorced, and we start dating again. I mean, that's the worst case scenario. She changes her mind, and if I had still been game to getting back together, after a couple months or 6 months or whatever, then we could still decide to reconnect. But it was very important for me, and I knew this at the time, that if I wanted to start healing fast, and not get into some depression and not get into false hope and wallowing in my own pity, I needed to accept that she would never ever change her mind, and then even pretend that she died and there was no way she would ever come back in that sense. Like I said, it's a little more of it's a little extreme, but for me, that's how I'm able to reach closure. A lot faster. So that's really all I have for you bob, if that helps you great if it doesn't, I want you to listen to the episodes I've done on obsession and breaking up and leaving the X so you can go to the overwhelm brain dot com and look for those things in the search engine and you'll find them and I want to thank you bob for inspiring this episode. I appreciate you. I hope things are going better for you. And if they're not, bob and everyone that's listening, no matter where you are, just keep an open mind. That'll help you step into your power and be firm in your decisions and actions so that you can create the life you want. Always take steps to grow and evolve. You are powerful beyond measure. And above all, and this is something I absolutely know to be true about you. You are amazing..

I'm like that's it. Did you ever used to shoot arrows up in the air and so you can catch it on the way down? I think it's safe game with a bow and arrow. No. Well, no, It's not, of course, is not. I mean, you knew the winner headstones. I'll tell you.

"She was of course talking about her career how she got from where she was to where she is. Now and the point was that it had been a purely on linear non straight non aid to be to see type of journey four From being of unsuccessful to be extremely sexual well. I suppose anyway. That's all well and good. Got me to thinking this question. What would a straight line look like if we saw one. I think in terms of different kinds of involvements or activities for us a straight line would look like i'm going to do a and then we do i. I'm going to do these. Seven things and the outcome will be acts so we do steps one. Two three four five six seven and there is ex from my perspective. The the problem is that almost never works out that way. We have a great plan. A great strategy something. We want to do whether it's a little thing or big thing like our career or changing jobs. Are we decided. We're going to move to another community You know we decide. We're going to go to school and now to do some particular kind of thing. It doesn't make too much difference what it is whether it's a relationship more our financial situation or most in the other thing. I think there's a good possibility that there are no straight lines. At any rate they are so rare and so unpredictable that we might as well start by considering the possibility that straight lines are simply not an option. You can't just go from here to there industry line but here are a couple of issues. I think that develop as a result of that kind of the leave you know were brought up to believe you know you work hard you will succeed go to school and get a good career You know the list is go on and on do a b and c and you get x. y. z. But the truth of the matter is that it never quite works that way. Maybe we do give a good career but it wasn't straightforward linear process. That we were led to believe that otherwise might be but maybe the reality is that there are no straight lines and when we think that there is there are going to be. We're just deceiving ourselves. I think another aspect of that is when we get frustrated. We get upset. We get a sense of of being defeated. We lose our enthusiasm for whatever it is were doing. Something becomes more. Bother than it's worth. And i think that's partially because we expected a straight line. We believe that the straight line was possible. One of the side effects of that in terms of becoming discouraged frustrated is that we can just quit. We can become so unhappy about our progress or what. We perceive to be our lack of progress that we give up. We just stop. I'm thinking it is possibly true. That the major side effect of this straight line thinking is mediocrity what we do. Is we go along to whatever go happens to be whatever when we say we're going from here to there Wherever here is wherever there is as we cover that path in between things. Don't work out like we expected. The line doesn't go just from a to b to c. There are obstacles that we hadn't anticipated people don't cooperate. Some tasks are much more difficult than we anticipated there. All kinds of issues and problems that come up as we pursue this path and the risk is that we will just back off. We'll give up our interest in getting from here to there will satisfy ourselves with going half way or maybe not going at all or even worse. Just turn around and go back to where we started. I think that this inability to motivate ourselves enough to follow through to fight through to do whatever it is. We need to do to get from here to there. Are difficulty in. Doing that is in large measure based on our initial belief that it was a straight line if alternatively we said we want to go from here to there and just assumed that it wasn't a straight line that it was not all uphill downhill it was not all east or west there. We're going to be a lot of twists and turns and here is the hook. I guess the the real issue. We almost never end up where we were headed. Maybe close to where we were headed. Maybe a good proximity to where we were headed but when we said going to go from here to there where we end up is never quite there it someplace else and so we think to ourselves. We've in some way failed. we haven't succeeded. We didn't get to the there. We had in more now where we actually ended up. Might be better might be worse. Might be about the same. It might be a good substitute but were dissatisfied. Were unhappy because we think we should have gotten someplace else and why because we believed in the straight line. So what i'd like to suggest to you is as you think about what you're going to do or what you want to do where there is for you be that education relationships career financially. Whatever the area that you choose to focus on when you think about where there is understand that there is no sir straight line as you pursue it getting. There is probably not going to happen or at least not happen exactly the way. You anticipate or envision it's happening is there some profound insight here is there. Some you know truth of nature that suddenly we've revealed i think so. I think what we've done is to say that life isn't a straight line. It just doesn't work that way and if we think it does or if we behave as if it does or if we judge ourselves based on whether or not we followed the street line we are setting ourselves up for failure. We are setting ourselves up to be disappointed frustrated. Unhappy where alternatively if we said that i want to do is to go from here to there or at least in the vicinity of there. I think that we are a whole lot better off. I don't suspect many of us are doing now. Send me that we're way past seventeen. I don't suspect many of us are doing now. What we thought we would do. We were seventeen and at seventeen once in a while. A seventeen year old does pursue. The path appears to end up. Where he or. She was ed that i can almost guarantee you that that wasn't a straight line either that it had is twists and turns and they kept adjusting reorienting dealing with whatever the obstacle was get moving on and they got pretty close to where they were headed. The interesting thing is that when we get there we can always define that as where we were headed to begin with so I don't think it's a great insider understanding. But i do think it's something well worth considering when we think that there is a straight line we can follow the plan and we'll get from here to there. We might be pretty. Well advised just to back off slow down and understand that it's seldom works out that way. And that's okay. Probably the greatest part of the whole thing is the journey is the getting there and being relatively satisfied with what we are able to accomplish what we are able to do knowing that we gave it our best shot. We gave it our best effort. We were persistent. And that i think is what we should value as opposed to whether or not we actually got there as we thought it was going to be when we started. I'm gonna go at that for today. I think that this podcast episode is itself an example of the fact that there is no straight line. We went from where we were to where we are. And i'm not sure that where we are is anyplace we necessarily had in mind when we started. I think the only point is that straight line. thinking is probably too restrictive. probably unrealistic. Probably not even a real possibility to implement in the real world. Okay there you go. I'm going to stop talking. And share some of kevin macleod's music with you and we will call it today. In the meantime be well. Do well be safe. And don't worry so much about whether you stayed. The path stayed the course stayed on that straight line because it was mostly to begin with daycare.
