I was just thinking of what was it two months or so ago that enabled me to put my fear and anxiety aside and start a long over due treatment program with my dentist. Off hand, I would say a moment of clarity of thought to get it going. But could it have been that this clarity was generated by now living in a house, being forced to move, and coming to realization that my living in apartments year after year wasn't the best choice?
Is it possible that apartment living generated a level of stress that I was not conscious of, that fed to something of a daily state of apathy and entropy, that just had me content to going day by day?
Possibly, I suppose which then leads to many questions. Is that kind of stress harmful? If it isn't, then how does it register? Finally, how could a person become aware of so to then affect a change?
Perhaps the "permanence" of relocating from apartment living instigated in you other aspects of your life that needed addressing.....? Oftentimes, cognitive re-structuring in one area can lead to the same in others....
