"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Much like singing the same song with a new verse each time, it can be exhausting to stay in the same "stuck" cycle. Ignoring, numbing, or distracting from your struggles might be a way to change verses in your song, but it is only a temporary solution playing over the same ongoing melody. My goal in working with clients is to help them identify the pain and its sources in order to heal those wounds, change perspective, and gain hope - to sing a completely new song.
