How Do We Get Out of the Worst Day Cycle?
Being stuck in the Worst Day Cycle can affect all aspects of our life. The aftermath of our trauma proves to be the most difficult as we continually self-victimize and then deny what is happening. Trauma is the first part of the cycle. Without it, the cycle would not exist. What we need to do is acknowledge the trauma and learn about it instead of avoiding and denying it. We need to turn toward our fear of trauma. To avoid my trauma, I tried to control everyone and everything around me. But this only caused me pain. I am uncomfortable when I turn toward my trauma, give up that control, work through those feelings, and allow my brain time to reorient itself. My counselor would repeatedly say to me, “Kenny, you just need to learn how to be.” I never understood that until now. Every person’s desire to grow is different. How long it will take them to get out of the Worst Day Cycle is up to them and depends on one thing—pain.
As you read this, are you second-guessing whether you really want to undertake that first step of your Worst Day Cycle? You say you want your life to be different but this just seems like too much work. If so, that old feeling has surfaced—the one that keeps you awake at night as you contemplate change, the one that is waiting for you when you wake in the morning. That feeling is your Worst Day Cycle; it is fighting you right now. It doesn’t want to leave just yet. If you aren’t willing to take that first step on the journey to success, then there is only one way for you to get the life you want—pain and suffering. Whatever it is you are doing to avoid addressing your cycle and your fear of success, do it more. Have more affairs; embezzle more money; take more sleeping pills; experience more illnesses, injuries, and disease; and medicate more with food, pills, alcohol, pot, illicit drugs, porn, or sex. Whatever you are currently using to self-victimize and keep your walls of denial up, accelerate them. Inflict so much pain on yourself that you run out of it and have no other choice but to finally turn toward the one thing we have all avoided. Success. That is right. Our success and inherent greatness come to light when we overcome our Worst Day Cycle. In the following chapter, we’ll look at the role our parents played in our trauma.
Your Journey to Success Steps 1.Make a list of your worst days and your feelings about them. Where do you feel the most powerless in your life right now? 2.Challenge yourself to sit still for one hour. Don’t close your eyes; just sit there in silence without any outside stimulus. This includes checking your phone for messages or listening to music. Make note of what feelings come up. If you can only last a few minutes, that’s okay, but work on extending how long you can sit in silence until you eventually reach an hour. 3.If you are feeling overwhelmed, seek the assistance of a helping professional to help you through your Worst Day Cycle. |
