Get to the root of your issues.
When something comes up that obviously points you to a deeper issue - get to the root of it!
Take some time, explore it, figure out what happened, how it impacted you and why the heck it still bothers you.
Know why?
Because as often as you're inclined to ignore it, that issue will never disappear until you get to the bottom of it.
See, emotions have no time frame. They don't understand that that great hurt you experienced happened 5, 10, or 15 years ago. It still hurts just as much as now as it did then.
And the last thing you want to do is drag around a bunch of ancient, hurting, now irrelevant issues.
Get to the Root of your issues.
Save yourself some time and increase your own happiness!
