It’s so funny since going through PE Therapy I have learned as a survivor it is how I survived. I compartmentalize and move on. It seems like an easy and good thing to do until compartments give full and start spilling the contents all over the place.
When I first moved to South Carolina I knew I needed to get a South Carolina Drivers license. But I kept on avoiding it. I could not even make an excuse that I was waiting on paperwork. Because I had gotten all the paperwork I needed by the beginning of Septemeber.
But then that paperwork sat in my file box until the beginning of January when I decided to finally go get my license. Some of that avoidance came from the long lines that are the DMV. But a lot of it has to do with being in a small area with a lot of people Just the thought of going to the DMV caused me to panic.
So I made plans on a day off to go to the DMV. I had a book with me and I also had some games on my phone to distract me and make time go by. So I did it!!! Took over 2 hours but I accomplished a very scary thing on my to-do list. I had a few moments of panic. But I stayed focus and reassured myself that this was only temporary.
Since realizing that I do try to avoid things I am trying to challenge myself to check things off my to-do list in a 60 day time frame. I understand somethings may take longer time but my rule is 60 days and re-evaluate. i hope I can stick to that goal and not avoid it.
To GOD Be The Glory. Take Care. Much Love.
