This is part two of a two-part episode. Part one is here.

The subject is all about obsessive behavior and repetitive thoughts that keep you stuck. Whether they’re about your ex, your job, or your life, it can be a huge challenge to stop thinking of something that has a great impact on you.

It’s time to get out of the rut. Listen to both parts of this episode and learn what it takes to make the right decisions for you. When the obsessive thinking stops, you’ll be able to get back to a more efficient, more productive, more fulfilling life.

Obsessive thoughts and overanalyzing can lead to terrible (or no) decision-making, causing you to stay in a rut that you can never get out of. Or if you do get out, it’s a very, very slow process.

In this episode, I talk about what it takes to make decisions that are right for you so that you stay out of obsessive thinking and get back to a more efficient, more productive, more fulfilling life.

This is part one of a two-part episode. Part two is here.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get away with things while others don’t?

From what I’ve seen, the more dishonest someone is, the more they seem to get away with bad behavior of some sort.

When an honest person tries to get away with immoral or unethical behavior, they are often caught in the act and have to pay the price. Of course, you might say, “If they’re trying to get away with something, that doesn’t make them very honest, then, does it?”

You may be right!

Lots more to explore in part two of the self-help variety show. What you are upset about has an origin from the past, exploring that can heal the present.

Do you stand up to your family for your significant other? Is it a good idea? How do you handle apologies and forgiveness? Should you ask for forgiveness?

What happens when you partner’s child doesn’t accept you in their life? What do you do with the feelings of shame and anger around someone’s death? Lots to explore in this New Year’s edition of TOB.
