    Hi Anne,

    You’re definitely not alone. We’re all human with our human flaws and continue to be a work in progress until the day we leave the planet.

    I’ve read and heard many things about breaking free of the mind and unhealthy thought patterns and these are some of the ones that worked for me…

    -Ego is running your thoughts and your life without awareness
    -Realize you are not your ego nor are you your thoughts
    -Be aware of your thoughts, just observe them
    -Don’t judge your thoughts as this is just more ego and judgment
    -The more you notice your thoughts the easier it becomes to let the belief in them go
    -Realize that you are the presence behind the thoughts like a clear sky and the thoughts are clouds passing by
    -Accept that some of these thought patterns have been going on for years and give yourself a break
    -Thoughts think you, you don’t think thoughts

    I agree with Kelly that the uncomfortable feeling following those thoughts is an indicator of your growing enlightenment so rather than feel guilty, celebrate that you’re experiencing a rise in consciousness. Fortunately for us, there’ a lot of great literature out there about this very subject. You may want to find a teacher or guide that speaks to you and take the journey inward to the most sacred place you’ll ever go.

    Hi Craig…

    I just ran across your post and see you have an abundance of replies but felt compelled to share in the conversation anyway. I’ve been experiencing the “40 something longing for a change” for several years and like you have jumped from one thing to another. Nothing seems to really stick although I’ve accumulated a few tools for the tool box along the way

    What I imagine is something I’m passionate about, lose myself in and in a perfect world, earn a living at. The most helpful advice I’ve read to find that “thing” is to think about what has inspired you to the point that it brings you to tears.

    Another important point mentioned earlier is to enjoy each moment and not lose ourselves in the seeking. The books that helped me most during this time are The Power of Now and A New Earth.

    Good luck in finding your passion

    Maybe you have a long way to go or just maybe you are on the verge of a breakthrough. Consider exploring why you experienced so much anxiety in the relationship and hang in there!! We are all a work in progress 🙂

    Hi V,

    Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this anxiety. It sounds like you’re very aware that these relationships weren’t healthy for you and made a change for the better. Congrats on taking those steps and for reaching out to this supportive community.

    What I’ve noticed is sometimes when I have a reaction to a situation or a person that doesn’t make sense or seems overly emotional I discover that I’m reacting to a deeper hurt from my past rather than what’s happening now. This seems to happen in love relationships that trigger our pain more often. Once I make the connection of similarities between the current and the past, I can put the situation in better perspective and look at the reality of the issue. Also work on releasing any negative emotion or pain from the past that’s I’m still carry around, unbeknownst to me. In doing so, the experience becomes a positive one by showing me where healing still needs to occur.

    Hope this is helpful.
