Stop running away! Stop running from you, now! Stop making excuses for yourself. Stop focusing on everyone else. You are in control of you, and only you, no one else. And they are in control of themselves, for themselves. Stop living in your feelings. Stop living in your mind. Remember who you really are, who you wanted to be, who you have become, and now, for you, now, what do what to create for yourself to become, now.
We recommend that you begin by monitoring how often you do various exercises to help work on yourself. Our e-book Take Charge Of Your Life contains some simple charts and some therapy exercises you can try. See the side margin for details and a sample.

Attitude; NO, I mean NO, judgment! This isn't a time to condemn yourself. It is a time to be real and to accept where you are currently at.
Look at what are you choosing to make things mean. Sometimes it is not about what you feel, but what's right there in front of you that is demanding your attention. And again, STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU, NOW!!!
Grow up! Come to terms with who you are today. But notice if you become obsessed, fixated, distracted or lost as this may keep you from achieving your purpose. When you are aware that you are becoming like this you need to shift and become physical instead or close your eyes and watch your breathing until you return to a state in which you are in control.

Where are you at with you behaviors - your actions? No judgment!
Where are you at with your beliefs? What have you made things mean? No judgment! Not what did they do to you or say, create, manipulate or change. But what did you just you create in your mind. Take responsibility for you, so you can take control of you, not them, you, so you can then change the situation.
What's behind your beliefs? What have you chosen to make things mean?
Where are you at with your spirit? This need not necessarily be cosmic or goofy. Just what is going on with what you can't necessarily see, taste, touch, smell, or hear? Yes, there is a part of you that is not contrite, not just what you see in the mirror. There is a part of you that is so much more than what you often think is there. There is a part of you that affects others, as they then affect you.
It's time. It's time for you. Not just time to take control of you, but time to re-connect with you. Time to be with you. Time to grow. Time to create what you want to create. Time to
