I am planning a change in my life. Nothing to do with my health, nothing I can write about at this stage. But I am making it my focus: reading an expert book on the topic, going to see a life coach to help me achieve my goal (a bit dubious re whether or not I will actually go through with the appointment as I am not sure I believe in life coaches, preferring psychotherapy for solving problems) and so on.
A friend congratulated me today on making the effort (she has a motivation problem, period...) and I heard myself say: "I don't have an option".
I remember saying that before, I said smiling.
When I was having treatment for cancer, many people said to be how brave I was, how whatever I was, how ... I used to get a little annoyed as I wasn't being brave, wasn't having a good attitude or blah-blah-blah. "I don't have an option," I'd say. And mean it. "I am just doing what I have to do."
Same with this.
