Take a closer look, you are probably the problem. 

Ok I know yall read that and thought ” why is she cursing at me” but hear me out. The patterns and habits that we tend to hold onto usually gets us into the same predicaments way too often. It is a hard pill to swallow but we need to take a look at the “Common Denominator” and take a step in changing the narrative.

It can’t be me

When we are not in ideal situations we tend to blame outside factors. Taking responsibility for negative aspects of your life is super uncomfortable, especially when they seem to happen so often. We complain when things aren’t going well but a lot of the times we don’t take action when most, if not all of us are capable of unloading the weight of the world from our shoulders with self examination.

Taking that hard look at yourself can really make you question your whole identity, like who the hell is this persona and why am I so fucked up? but that’s the first step in fixing the problem.

I DON’T WANNA GROW UP!

Remember how easy it was as a kid? You didn’t have these types of problems with identity as much as you do now as an adult. Can someone TAKE ME BACK!? Just think, its Saturday morning and your show is on and you are sitting in front of the T.V. with a bowl of cereal living your best life. AHHH what a time! Fast forward to today you are fumbling your keys and bag trying to get out the door to get to work on time because you stayed up too late knowing you need 7-8 hours to function and this is your 2nd time being late this week and that is not a good look.

Easy fix because…..

Its YOU who could go to sleep at a decent time

Its YOU who can wake up earlier

Its YOU who could have your coffee at work not on the way

Its YOU who could have put your bag in the car last night

Its YOU who can do better with time management

Its YOU… yea I said it, ITS YOU!

I know all of your problems may not be as simple as better time management. No matter what problems you may have, start to ask yourself how have you contributed to this issue. Get uncomfortable with yourself and you will see changes happen. Just do the work.
