Title
AWAKENING with Mary O'Malley
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- One of the challenges we work with is compulsions, for within our compulsions we can clearly see our reactive patterns. To some degree, we are all compulsive. By compulsive, we mean engaging in any recurring activity to manage our feelings, an activity that eventually ends up managing us. We can get compulsive in many different ways — by overspending, overeating, overworking, over-planning, over-worrying, over-exercising, over-drinking, over-computerizing, or just “over-overing.” Many of us are compulsive without even knowing it. It isn’t until the computer crashes or the credit card is cancelled or the doctor says we can’t eat a high-fat diet that it becomes clear just how much a particular activity controls our lives.
- Ultimately, our core compulsion is to struggle. We live in a story in our heads that is always trying to get us to “do” life, telling us we need to make ourselves and our lives better or different from what they are. In our endless trying, we have forgotten how to be. We have forgotten how to open to the marvelous and magical adventure of life. We have forgotten how to trust ourselves, to trust our lives, and to live in joy. So we turn to our compulsions to numb ourselves out from all our struggles, only to find ourselves struggling with our compulsions. As we know all too well, this cycle wreaks a lot of havoc in our lives.
