Hey J
Hello my name is Rick.
Love yor post. Love it.
Your exactly right. I infer from your words that you have found that you don't wish to be at the mercy of every trigger that comes along.
This is an approach I take as well. I don't have phone issues. Well not anymore. I did what you've done.
There are some triggers which may not be avoided perhaps be if we can take control then we should, for our own sake.
Avoidance is a strategy which sometimes is the best solution. Some issues only get worse with confrontation. I believe triggers in many instances are is of those.
I remeber when I was in my twenty's , living a bohemian life in Fortitude Valley. We sometimes woul;d get some real knobs dropping in.
In the end I we all agreed that the only real control you have in life is who enters your house. So we refused entry to people we just did'nt want there. It was empowering.
There was a cost of course. But there always is, no matter what you do, and we decided it was worth the cost.
With nudging from my psych I have used this principle to clear out the toxic people in my life.
The cost has been enormous but in the end my ability to manage the day is more important.
I really get a bit tickled when I come across someone here who reflects back to me something I have done myself.
Thank you. you've made my day
It is because of this kinda synchronisty that I believe
Hope endures
Rick
