There’s an ugly old beige car parked on the corner of my block. One of the windows is busted out and covered with plastic. It’s been there for weeks or months – I’m not sure. Sometimes it goes away – but it always comes back – to the same spot.
And I don’t care.
A few years ago, the car would have driven me nuts.
I would have carried on about it to my husband. Complained to the neighbors. Gotten pissed off every time I drove by.
But I’ve learned so much in the past few years.
I’ve learned that trying to control the world and the people around me is a monumental waste of time and energy.
All it does is create suffering in the form of anger, resentment, disappointment, and sadness.
And the reason so many of my clients overeat is to escape their suffering.
When you can let things be how they are – and not how you think they should be – you can release so much unnecessary suffering.
If you stop making things a problem, they stop being a problem.
Fewer problems, less suffering – decreased desire to overeat.
