Are you tired of that same old rehashed personal growth advice that all seems to boil down to,

think positively and all your problems will go away.

If affirmations feel like lies and positive thinking feels like denial,

then I want you to get ready.

The overwhelmed brain is here to help you create the life you want now. Hello this is Paul Kolyani the host of the overwhelmed brain the personal Personal Growth Show, for the critical thinker.

Every week I discuss practical down-to-earth steps to help you improve yourself and your

relationships.

We'll talk about why we do the things we do and what we can do to reach

higher levels of happiness and lower levels of stress and overwhelm. I'm here to help you create

positive changes in your world.

Expect to laugh and feel empowered in every episode.

Today is a special episode where we'll talk about being in love,

accepting behaviors of the ones you love, and making the choice to continue the relationship

you're in, or simply walk away from something you don't want in your life.

By the time the episode is over, you'll know if you've reached full acceptance of the people in your life,

and if you're choosing to suffer or not.

Yes, suffering can be a choice.

When it comes to accepting what is or not accepting, one

choice leads to suffering and the other does not. So let me start off with a story

about something that happened to me a long, long time ago,

and a part of the country far, far away from here. When I was 23, I met a girl in an apartment complex. Back then I skated around the complex on my roller blades, and every now and then I skated around the complex on my roller blades and every now and then I saw this girl coming and going and one day we talked.

And a few days later, she got out her roller skates and she started skating with me. I was attracted to her and I could tell she was attracted to me too.
