Ugh. My therapist said something very similar to me this last week. She brought up the whole idea of "fake it till ya make it" which is a very popular and much-used slogan in the 12-step world.
And let me tell you it's exhausting. It takes so much effort for me to "fake it" that by the time I get home, all I want to do is sleep. It seems like it shouldn't be this much work! I know, I know, change is NOT easy.
Especially when you despise change the way I seem to. I do like to hang back and say things like, "I'll try that when I feel better." Or, "I'm not ready to try that yet."
You know what I'm talking about. So does my therapist.
Avoidance.
If nothing changes, then nothing changes.
And something's gotta change.
