The quote continues:
“This doesn’t have to necessarily be a relationship either. People try to “solve” their health problems with fad diets, when often they first need to develop an awareness of the emotions that enable the problems in the first place.
In my own life, I’ve often tried to “solve” my creativity by over-planning books and projects, when really I just needed to sit down and create and understand what I was feeling.”
The gist of Manson’s words rsonate with me - I often try to fix things before I really understand them because action is more satisfying than sitting in distress (or sitting with someone else in distress). I am trying to pause and listen before taking action, to really understand before choosing a direction and a response.

What’s one area of your life that you keep trying to “solve” instead of simply understanding? - MARK MANSON
