Self Control Series – My Story

This part is about the importance of detaching when things are not in your power to solve, yet. To allow things to unfold knowing that you’ll find a good solution in the end – regardless of external situations, your job is to keep doing you, to keep working on yourself. This is how the solutions you seek show up, eventually.

Story time: 📖

≈ I am usually a calm person, I prefer this state, but sometimes even calm people get angry – and when it happens there is always a good reason behind it, like this situation.

There are moments when you have to speak up for yourself – I felt that was one of those moments.

He did admit that I always have good clarity in speaking and that I am logical and coherent, a smart woman, and also that because of that, it was tricky for him to diagnose me.

My answer to that was:

 – “Thanks. Shouldn’t this tell you that I am actually fine? Have you considered you being wrong about me?”

His conclusion:

 – “Well, the treatment is working well, you are much better.” 

In that moment I served him the truth I was also holding back.

And told him:

 – “What treatment? I never took any! I threw it all away and told everybody I took it to leave me alone. What do you have to say about that? 

Am I ok because of the treatment? Well no, I am ok Because I always was.

You can prescribe whatever you want, I can respect that you have to do your job, but I refuse it. It is my right to refuse it, isn’t it? So I am.”

This moment taught me that an “experienced” doctor will never admit to being wrong about a patient, regardless of how obvious it might be.

The only thing you can do is to keep focusing on yourself to remove challenges and gain full self-control over situations that are up to you to solve – also, to detach with faith that all will fall into place, in your favor.

Having this mindset helped me stay focused on the self-work I was doing.≈
