A lot of sadness is saying goodbye to old parts of yourself.
That’s something you have to go through on your own, because only you know what you still need to pause and reflect on.
If you know that you’re a worrier, and you say, “I’m someone who often worries,” then you know it—and it immediately stops being a problem.
This is how your brain and consciousness, in a way, teach you who you really are. It’s a fascinating process that not everyone seems to pause and reflect on.
It’s a bit like with OCD: your brain shows you that you can choose differently, that things don’t have to be done in a specific way or touched in a certain pattern.
