Attachments
What is your attachment?
Is it clothes, luxuries, your career, your partner? Or is it to your identity, to the ideal self image you have created with so much "sacrifice".
Everything you create around you unconsciously supports and validates the image you want to project. Don't you realize you are losing yourself there, you are forgetting who you really are, you starter to believe your own story of being "so-and-so". By saying this I don't mean that your efforts are not valid. What i'm trying to say is that working so hard to keep this image, little by little you have abandoned yourself, you forgot your essence and all this sacrifice is limiting you to live fully, to feel joy and pleasure.
This "idealized self" comes with it sets of believes and rules.
Take a moment to feel the pain, feel the struggle, ask yourself the why? Why am i doing this? Start to feel the part of you that is lost, Don't stop until you start to see your truth.
