2023: Will this be the year you stop wallowing?

Iโ€™m completely serious.

Will this be the year you STOP wallowing in your own crap? Think about that.

But Iโ€™m not you say. Iโ€™m good. Some of you may be โ€ฆ but Iโ€™m thinking many of you actually are and donโ€™t even know it or just blind to it at this point. Or youโ€™re like the gentleman in the Goggins video below where youโ€™re saying you just donโ€™t understand what Iโ€™m going through, Dwight! All I can say there is indeed a time to wallow. A time to grieve, cry, shout, and find help. Thereโ€™s also a time to get your ass uP from the floor and start moving forward and leaving the crap behind!

For years I wallowed in my shit. 40 years of wallowing in alcohol abuse and depression. 20 some years of wallowing in debt. 7 years of poor me Iโ€™m divorced after 16 years of marriage. Plus who knows how many years of Iโ€™m not good enough, Iโ€™m not smart enough, Iโ€™m not good looking enough โ€ฆ wallow, wallow, wallow! Where did it get me? Fโ€™n nowhere. Nowhere!

I hear wallowing every day and itโ€™s just accepted and even supported. Many are just reliving the same shitty story year after year. Posting the same damn dramas post after post. That may hit a nerve but itโ€™s the truth. Unfollow if need be, but for many itโ€™s a wake up to move forward. To start truly living your life and leave the poor me behind.

I believe you can do it. Start rewiring your mind. โค๏ธ

Peace,

Dwight๐Ÿฆ‹

  3. Looking for success, versus failure. So very true, we have a choice. Yup, love, “leave poor me” behind.

  5. Oof, I feel this and needed to read it. Thanks, Dwight. I just got the Goggins book from the library and looking forward to reading.

  6. It maybe a bit harsh, but very true what you have written. I had a big clean out 30 years ago and got my life on track. The thing is, is that you need to be vigilent not to regress back to where you were.

  7. Yes, yes it is Dwight! I read my old posts and it is years of wallowing and excuses. Started this year with an amazing vacation that has helped my perspective of how “busy” I want to be at home. When I get back next week starting over with 100 days sober AND a meditation program (book club I’m doing with some friends) – husband is supportive so I really have hope I’ll get out of this rut.
