As a child merry-go-rounds are fun and entertaining. They give you the impression that you are going somewhere, with the security of going around in a familiar circle.
Thinking you are going somewhere while you are really in the same place is quite an accomplishment. It does a number on your brain. Your brain feels stimulated, and you have some security.
The addition of mirrors and colorful paint on the merry-go-round gave you the impression of being in another world. No matter how new it seemed, you could count on the routine up and down motion once the ride begins.
The merry-go-round also had horses for the adventurous and sleds or wagons for those wanting more security in their rides.
You also knew that wherever you encountered a merry-go-round, it would operate the same, whether in Paris, San Antonio or the Fort Bend County Fair. No matter where you went, they did the same thing.
When you grow up, your view of the merry-go-round changes. You start wondering how to get off of it rather than looking forward to how much longer the ride lasts.
Merry-go-rounds are a good way of explaining some of your relationships as well. There are reasons why you’re attracted to the same type of person again and again.
There are also reasons the same type of persons are threats to you. There are reasons why you keep falling victim to the same kind of person again and again.
You may have entertained yourself with questions about why you find yourself with the same type of person again and again. Even when an affair happens, like the merry-go-round, there’s a sense of the same thing happening again and again.
There is an explanation for this phenomena. There are also ways of changing it, when you know what you are dealing with.
Now that you are recovering from the effects of an affair, it’s a good time for making changes. Knowing ways of changing that merry-go-round behavior can keep you from repeating it again.
In the upcoming report “How Affairs Hack Your Brain” coming out on the 15th exclusively to members of Restored Lifestyle, you can learn what researchers have discovered as to why the same type of people keep showing up in your life.
You can change those merry-go-round events and your marriage as well.
Keeping It Real,
Jeff
