Reply To: Exercise 6: 10 People Closer to Your Field
Hey, Olivia,
It sounds like a hard week. I hope you are taking a deep breath!
I have a question in response to what you are experiencing. I wonder about you beginning by trying to identify the “cause of their emotional attachments” as opposed to taking a step to get rid of stuff or a commitment to not adding anything for “x” amount of time. It seems taking action first helps bring to awareness what gets in the way of making those concrete steps. It seems easy to me to go around in circles when you start by trying to figure out “causation”. In taking action, I would agree with Hayden that group support is great, think AA where people stop drinking and get support to continue and to address the challenges that come up when they do. They also have support when they “fall off the wagon”.
Looking forward to being able to talk more,
Beth
