On the Path... [View in Web Browser]( Hi {NAME}, Yesterday someone I know took their own life. He put a bullet in his head. I had practiced jiu jitsu with him a few times and knew that he was a law enforcement officer and a respected member of the community, and his tragic death took a lot of people by surprise.  How could this happen? What was going on inside of him? Who knew that he was suffering? It's an extreme example of how serious silent suffering can be, and personally, I know it all too well. For myself, it took the form of a gripping anxiety and chronic dissatisfaction with so many things in my life which should have been considered blessings, however, I was just too overwhelmed by feelings of negativity that they felt like curses. I was stuck. And for so many of my clients it's the same story. Life hits a critical deflation point, and their energy collapses into a field of self-doubt, frustration, and resentment. From this point, nothing seems to be able to lift the cloud, and after they've exhaust their relationships by expressing and sharing their negativity, they learn that it's best to suppress it, eat it, and suffer through it. And suffering they do well, putting on a happy face and a misleading outward demeanor. No one, not even their closest partners, have any idea of what cruel thoughts are chipping away at their peace day after day. For most of my clients, the feelings of being stuck, of missing out, or of wanting to be elsewhere in life, become so routine that they end up feeling exhausted with life, and it often becomes so severe that suicidal ideations arise as part of the everyday content of their thoughts. But this isn't the whole story. I'm here to tell you that suffering is temporary and is optional, and although it may grip you and hold you tight for a long time, you have the power to overcome and rise above it. What most people do not understand is that negativity is the most addictive drug in our society today. I sense that negativity, that is, the set of feelings characterized by frustration and despair, is the most addictive substance available to human beings. Once it has us, it becomes the underpinning of all our addictions, triggering a strong desire to avoid and escape at all costs. So we drink. We smoke .We eat. We distract ourselves. And we do anything we can to cover it up and check out. It is the real root of self-sabotage. Silent suffering is symptomatic of the condition of lower consciousness. When I coach clients I assist them in understanding that consciousness is a striated field. Levels. And at the bottom of the scale, consciousness is experienced as apathy, grief, shame, self-loathing, and fear of failure. At the top of the scale consciousness, you feel willingness, acceptance, reason, love, and joy. And when you're here, silent suffering just doesn't exist. It's impossible to feel badly about your life when you accept yourself and your place as being totally perfect and exactly where you need to be. It's impossible to fear the criticisms of others, or even shocking world events as threatening when you're filled with love for yourself, and appreciate the opportunities before you. The work that I do with clients is all about raising consciousness and developing the self-mastery required to maintain yourself in courageous states of being, so that the suffering just naturally and effortlessly falls away into the past. People need a hand, they need a push here and there, because so many societal cues trigger our tendency to find dissatisfaction with life, and satisfaction in negativity, but it doesn't have to be this way. The central question I ask them is: What is the payoff you get from remaining stuck in negativity, suffering silently, and going through the motions of life without ever making progress or moving forward? Once they realize that the truest, most powerful version of themselves doesn't need to remain addicted to this warped prize, they are able to let go of negativity, and things turn around rapidly. If you can at all relate and are curious how working with a coach can assist you moving out of this phase of life, [book a FREE 15-minute call with me at this link HERE](. I look forward to meeting you. Peace and Power, [_Dylan Charles]( [Access your FREE 15-minute insight call with Dylan]( [Dylan Charles - Self-Mastery and Self-Sabotage Coach]( Dylan Charles Editor, [Waking Times](
