It’s just a novelty
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be directed by something that is nothing more than a novelty that wears off over time.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to become addicted to the energy of the ‘new’ the ‘uncharted territory’ the ‘new experience’ and the ‘what to expect’ types of energies/backchats that fuel the excitement of something.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be deluded into believing something is ‘so exceptional’ or ‘so cool’ - but the inevitable realisation days/a week or so later that I was still believing as excitement, or as hype, and so when that dissipates, I realise that new experience is in fact not so ‘cool’ or ‘exceptional’ and is either something that I still like, or something that I see is actually not something I like so much, so here thus I commit myself to always be breathing often and consistently during the lead up/build up of any new experience and also breathing during the new experience itself, as well as the afterwards of experiencing the new experience, so that I know I am seeing clearly and not being directed by a novelty that I know within me will wear thin/show me the real of the situation/’new’ experience.
Hi, anthonyfield! I just resteemed your post! I actually read the post, and think it is a worthwhile piece of writing to assist and support others to understand novelty, as well as how to walk through the point of 'the novelty wearing off' in order to make decisions in awareness, and develop perseverance.
Thank you!
Thank you kimzilla and thanks for sharing your own words/perspective.
