How do you avoid pain?

If you want to avoid experiencing pain, the best thing to do is stop feeling. Stop enjoying people. Lock yourself in your room and never show any kind of interest in anything. Does that sound enjoyable to you?

The truth is that most of us live life trying to avoid pain. We stop ourselves from pursuing new things or new relationships because the potential pain that could arise feels too vulnerable. Heck, we even shut off our emotions in an attempt to avoid more pain.

But is avoiding our pain really getting us what we want in life?

Avoiding Pain Is A Trap

Avoiding pain is a trap that keeps you constantly running. To avoid pain you must be constantly in suspense, watching and waiting for the next pain to strike.

The truth is, pain is just a part of the normal human experience. You can’t avoid it and even when you try you end up in more pain than you were before. Running from pain just keeps you running. It keeps you stuck in anxiety trying to escape reality.

The truth is, the reason we try to run from pain is usually because there is a need for security. We want to make sure we don’t mess up and don’t make any mistakes so that we can stray away from any potential pain. We want to feel secure in our next steps. To be completely sure that that person will be our husband/wife, that that next job will be exactly what we are looking for, that the new house or new thing will solve all of our problems. Sound familiar?

Our Need For Security

As humans, we have a deep need for security. We often think that avoiding our pain and getting the next best thing will make everything better. But the truth is, we just desire security. We want a pain-free life. Someone or something to make the pain go away.

But the key to avoiding pain isn’t actually avoiding it at all. The key is to learn how to walk through it.

When we can learn how to face our pain and walk through it, we stop the constant running and chasing for security and we become a secure place for ourselves to be.

If you are ready to stop running from pain and start walking in freedom, I have a course coming that will teach you how to face your pain, what to do when pain arises, and how to get connected to yourself so you can walk in the security you are desiring.
