I made a thread asking why LofA works for me with some aspects of my life but never works with other apsects of my life. it sounds as if cognitive dissonance may be a reason why. cognitive dissonance At a nonextreme level of coarse. Im not on the verge of blowing anything up.

So how does one get over the cognitive dissonance?

When ever what I seek is in reach I fall into a mind state of irrational behavior, stress and anxiety until I mess every things up. The thing is the irrational behavior, stress and anxiety only make sense when I feel like Im actually moving forward and getting somewhere. other than that time I am beating my self up saying" what was I thinking?"

so what could be the source of the conflicting thoughts or perceptions? How do I rid them, How do I fight through it, How do I completely align myself with that which would make me happiest? why do I allow myself to be driven into a state of apathy and unfulfilment?

Im going to look into it more.
