You may feel lonely and isolated as you dwell on your own life, rather than trying to relate wholeheartedly to your friends and family. Limits may come up for you at this time. These restrictions are only as real as your mind makes them. Remember, while you may not have a choice of which thoughts surface in your mind,  you do have a choice of which thoughts to dwell on. As hopeless as any situation feels, it is always only your thoughts you are dealing with, and you have the power to change those. When you find yourself dwelling on a topic that does not bring you pleasure, take a moment to pivot your thoughts to something else. That helps you break the cycle. The thoughts will come less and less, and you’ll move emotionally away from the hamster wheel of negative thought and negative emotion as you move into a different, happier pattern of thought. If your life is not happy now, stop dwelling on your life as it is and instead dwell upon it as you would like it to be.
