The Process of Change - Just Do You

The Process of Change - Be Your Self

Its rumoured that today is the day that New years resolutions fail.

They’re tossed out after a gruelling 2 weeks of promises to the self.

Hard graft, denial and those pangs of ‘but it’s the weekend’.

One tiny little cheat meal, bar of chocolate or teeny went drinkypoos or whatever, your vice was that you threw to the Gods of the ICEBERG experts and gurus who told you that you were [insert your own shame-based insult].

?And what do they know about your life?

?Why do all of the professionals or as they have been referred to as ‘the helpers’, ‘culty cults’ and ‘gurus’ seem to appear at the end of December…with the advice of a lifetime - and sparkly products that you can buy as they help you become what Carl Rogers called the ‘ideal self’?

?And given that Rogers described the over-there self as ideal and this one right here, right now as the ‘real’ self, why are we are almost hell-bent on becoming the version of self, way beyond the ideal, way into the procured artform of someone we compare ourselves to in the mirror each morning?

What would it take for you to develop the process of change without the diamond-studded courses, memetic posts highlighting where you let yourself down, or even let yourself go?

Who are these experts and do they follow?Attia’s Law? [as quoted by Andrew Huberman on his podcast with Peter Attia in Aug 2022.]?

This is well worth a listen and no spoilers here about the law but my word?I wish it was a real thing.

This brings me to the blog I have written Everyone’s a Mental Health Expert

And about those iceberg experts; you know, the ones who stand aloft at the tip of the berg professing knowledge beyond knowledge, with all of the latest buzzwords and shame-inducing lexicon.

The ones who make you feel sh*t for being you and not hustling. Why not take a read and give it your appreciation with the clap button on medium and share it with your friends and colleagues?

Warmly,

Cath
