Episode 3: Insanity

Today's topic will be about insanity and why it is important to break free from it.The great Albert Einstein once said "Insanity is when you do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." I would hear this same thing from a relative of mine. Often, we experience insanity in our everyday lives, on our job, with our family, but mainly in life choices, but mostly in relationships. We expect situations an people to change, knowing the end result will be the same.

I first want to talk about life choices. I will give an example. Say you have food allergies. You know if you eat anything a certain group of things, you will have swelling, itching and some people may be at risk from dying. But you have keep doing it. I'm guilty of it as well. I have a favorite cajun spot I go to and during crawfish season, I'm there every week. Well, when I started to get the extra spicy, my lips would get really raw, but I still would go. That would be my personally example of insanity

So what we do or don't do plays a huge part of what the result would be. Every time you decide you want to indulge in these foods knowing you're allergic, resulting in a visit to the hospital or have to get an Epipen shot or however you treat it. Why would you want to put yourself through that? You have to ask yourself why can I not stay away from this? So what is your "food allergy?" Our choices in life are the same. You know if you do something that as against your better judgement, there are consequences. Unless you're just a totally fucked up person and dont give a shit what happens. But for the most part assuming you do, you actually care and now you're dealing with the end result which is something you could've had control over. We don't always have control , but for choices, you do. You have to figure out the reason that draws us to these decisions and choose a different outcome. Having unprotected sex may result in either someone getting pregnant or catching a sexually transmitted disease. I will take it even a step further. Say you're broke, no job, no income, no insurance. Either you got pregnant or got someone pregnant. To add insult to injury you live with your relatives and now you  have a child on the way. Not here to judge, this is an everyday situation where if more thought was put into the decision, it would have went differently.

Relationships work a bit differently, due to the fact that sometimes, people can change, but then some people don't. Spouses at some point during a marriage or partners in a relationship may be dishonest or be unfaithful. They may make a mistake, but change their behavior. On the other hand, an abusive man, whether it is physical or verbal, rarely changes. Such as a woman who displays disrespect to her partners, family or to herself may have traits that won't change, in the example of narcissists. But then you have example of people who have certain traits that can be stopped in their tracks of this behavior. This is where we have crossroads with normalcy and insanity.  Say that you have this one co-worker who likes to take jabs at you while the two of you are in front of other co-workers. If you ignore it and laugh along, it will continue, but what if you pulled this person to the side  or even check them in front of this same group and demanded to be respected? They are less likely to keep doing it, if you are stern about it and stand up for yourself.

The main objective of overcoming insanity will be getting to the root of the issue. Ask yourself questions, take time to be alone and sit in deep thought when you have decisions to make that you know go against your conscious mind. You know, the part that indicates to you whether or not something is right or wrong. Ask yourself why. Why are you allowing this? Why do you feel this way? What are some of the things you can do to change it? Have mental conversations with yourself or write it down. Hell, if you want to have them outloud, that's your business do the shit. You are on a journey to find answers that will better your life which benefits you.The greatest thing about connecting with your inner and higher self is knowing that nobody else can tell you who YOU are. The more you're in tune with yourself, the less insanity you will encounter in life. Always remember that elevation requires separation, until next time Be blessed.
