152. Moving from "Why Me?" to "What Now?"
Asking "Why" is a natural response to life's challenges, a way to make sense of our experiences. But there are a few reasons why asking "Why" may not be as helpful as we think. Asking why is really just us searching for insight, right? We are trying to make sense of what we think are our negative experiences in life. But here's the thing - we can't always know or figure out the reasons why things outside of our control happen. So, what's the alternative to constantly asking "Why"? What can you do when those "Why" questions seem to be consuming you? Join me in this episode as I share strategies and examples for moving past the "Why" and regaining a sense of control and purpose in your life.
