I think self-reflection is an underdeveloped skill. Everything from weight management to pre-occupations (or even addictions) to getting work done to eating healthy —these are all problems that require self-reflection to recognize.

And then once the issue has been identified, the next thing to do is seek help. One of the great lies that everyone believes is that nobody understands me. I’m on my own. I have to fix this myself.

Bullshit.

So whether you just talk to a friend, attend a support group, pay for professional help, etc., these are all very effective at helping those who desire change to actually change.
