When I am feeling a bit stuck I look at Glassers needs. If I cannot name one of them then thats the one I am not meeting at that time. Power, fun, and love I remembered but I had to give in a google it today after trying to recall the other one. Freedom is the fourth , after our basic needs for survival are met it is those 4 that we need.
I often refer to escaping from my job or my children. I like to go off for a few days and just get away from it all. This weekend I did that. I had a whole day off. A full 24 hours where I only had to please myself. It was very liberating. I was free for a little while. I think my episode was my escape route to freedom. At the start I always felt like I was at the bottom of a well and all I could see was grey and black;black walls grey sky gradually as I climbed out I could see green grass and blue skies. I think I need to work on way of dealing with my responsibilities and not feeling the need to dig an escape route. Maybe I could realise that I am not trapped I am free to do as I please at any stage it is only me that is standing in my own way. Maybe instead of digging that tunnel I could just open the door and walk out.
So today think about how you trap yourself and fail to give yourself permission to just be free.
