I'm a James Clear Atomic Habits fan (to a degree, let's face it, some of these people who preach habits and stuff seem to come across as having never encountered or lived with an ADHD-er or any other neurodiversity in my HUMBLE opinion :) :) ) and i got his newsletter quote today and wanted to share for all of you as I found it really profound. It doesn't make me want to make massive changes or go and give my partner 10x new podcasts to listen to or whatever, but it did make me pause, think and consider and gave me some hope. I hope it does the same for you all.
"Move toward the next thing, not away from the last thing.
Same direction. Completely different energy."
...it makes me think: how much do I move away from my anger and resentment and how much does that drive me for the next thing....INSTEAD OF moving graciously towards to the next thing and leaving the anger/resentment/negative feelings behind??
Your Vision

I love this, Roller! I remember reading it in the book and thinking that's how I've lived my life. And it's true for my professional life.
But at home, today, I'm sitting here pondering how to get away from this pain. Rather better to envision the wonderful future!
The trouble is that I can't see it.
Have you been successful at envisioning the next thing?
That really is good

Thank you for sharing this. I will chew on this all day. It is absolutely essential advice for someone in the midst of divorce.
