What traps you
We live daily in our formated routine of life that we think we've figured out. Even when we've established everything that we allow R selves to be faced with we do experience a level of complacency from purposeful habits so we can feel like masters of our domain. Then we wake up one morning and we can sense that something has changed. We've either lost our job or our car has been stolen or we lost someone that we loved and any of those do have different levels of hardship that shakes our confidence in what we thought we had a handle on. Now the comfortable pattern we've grown used to by our own making is out of place and leaves us scrambled. This takes us a while to put the pieces of our brain like a desshivled puzzle back together and like one piece missing we don't know the way back to what we had before the bad news. U can think that U'll get back to the way it was however with that one piece missing forever U cannot so after awhile U have to develop a new norm in your routine because as creatures of habit we go with what we know and complacency of some level will always be somewhat of a norm.
