Distractions and avoidance...

Are we somehow neglecting ourselves and our own affairs? Are there things we're avoiding, that we just can't look at? It's so much easier to observe others and see things they could/should do or do differently. Watching drama is soooo much easier and a LOT more fun (Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Youtube, Facebook, our friends' lives, etc. Lol ;)) - and we can question someone who stays with an alcoholic or abusive partner, but what are we enabling in our own lives?... because if we stay "busy", we don't "have time" to look at what's under the hood... and frankly, when we do look there, it ain't that fun or straight forward to deal with anyway. One thing is sure in life - there are no quick fixes, so hell if we need to numb out here or there - even too much... it's understandable... but it seems that at some point there is a reckoning ... and that "stuff" we're not looking at usually rears it's ugly head at some point anyway - a divorce, a death in the family, job loss, mid-life crisis (we've hit 40 and we're not at all where we told ourselves we'd be at this point!). It may be easier to do some emotional or "inner" housecleaning when we're not in crisis management mode... just sayin';). Hugs.
