50-50


Brooke tools about having 50-50 positive and negative experiences and I’ve seen people post here saying their lives are even better, more like 80-20. I was so surprised because without buffering my life feels overwhelming negative; Netflix, overeating etc feel like relief. My life has nothing really bad going on but I cannot recall feeling happy in many years. I would not consider suicide because of its affect on other people but do not have much will for my own sake. I have read a lot of self help and worked regularly on my workbooks but I’m struggling to feel better. I think before scholars I thought everyone was secretly feeling like this inside. I have a poisonous thought ‘life should be better than this”. I’m hoping you may have some suggestions for how to create more joy and move towards 50-50. Thank you.
