Yeah. It has helped me in the past making this distinction.
The trick is taking that realization and running with it. The personality and thought patterns of a whole life time of societal conditioning try to pull you back into the cyclic thinking when you're in pain. Today has been a struggle if I'm honest.
Anyway, even complaining about it on hive is playing into the hands of that compulsive thinking pattern... so I'm gonna stop 😉
Thanks for checking out my post, and following. I'll go check out your blog 👍
Day by day, it's all a work in progress. Hope today is better than the last!
