When it all feels wrong, it probably is. Suppose that we are meant to live joyfully. If you are not doing so, perhaps the symptoms of discord are signs telling you to turn, change, grow, release.
Change. Scary and necessary to a fulfilled life.
Imagine that your most productive, engaged, harmonious life is like a straight road. When you turn off that road, you are creating a diversion or detour from your "best" life. The friction you feel is an indication that you have accidentally veered from your path.
Note that the further you go on the detour, the further the gap to your best path. If you attempt to fix the situation, it will be easier to do it sooner. If you wait, it gets harder. Your gap is greater.
You might think of it like the pressure on a fault line. The adjustment might feel like a small shift if you catch it early. The longer you wait, the greater the probability that fixing the problem will take on earthquake proportions.
Most of us tend to be blind to the need to change until we are looking at creating an earthquake. The trick is to be so sensitive to what works and does not work for you that you recognize the symptoms of a misfit or detour before it is a major shift to change it.
When you choose to ignore the symptoms, you increase the relative distance back to your best outcome. You do not make it better, you do not avoid the issue. You increase the tension by not dealing with the problems.
