I'm Suffering From SSS (Not Coronavirus)

Yes, I'm suffering from SSS, but I don't think that there's a shot that would cure it. If there was, I'd get it.

By the way, I chose the above picture because It's got an old guy in it, like me. Heh.

So, you might be asking, what is SSS?

Maybe I should make you guess for a while before I answer.

Nah. I'll spit it out.

SSS stands for what I call Self-Sabotage Syndrome. It's what stops some of us from succeeding. We start to see progress, and for some reason or other we shut ourselves down so we don't have to deal with the success.

Personal example: During the stay-at-home order because of covid, instead of taking advantage of my time at home to work on my websites, I've basically spent my time in front of the TV watching reruns and Netflix movies.

This post is the first work I've done since the coronavirus started.

To paraphrase Psychology Today, self-sabotaging behavior results from a misguided attempt to insulate ourselves from our own negative attitudes.

Are you suffering like I am?

Gosh, I hope not!

If you are, SSS can be cured.

You can't go to a doctor to get cured, though. You have to cure yourself.

I have to cure myself, too.

Others can help with advice and encouragement, but they can't make attitude changes for me. I have to do it myself.

What it takes is a commitment, and follow through.

We'll see if I can do it.

Thanks for reading, and leave me your ideas of how to get myself out of my funk.

Thanks for reading my cry for help.

I'm Grant.
