This Week in The Feel Better Letter 👇
✅ Your intention determines your results — even if you’re “doing the work.”
âś… Trying to eliminate thoughts and feelings keeps you stuck in the loop.
âś… Recovery begins when you shift from resistance to non-resistance.
âś… New episode: From Stuck in OCD to Taking Back Control: A Real Recovery Story with Jaro
Matt's Message of the Week
What Are You Really Trying to Get Rid Of?
That's a simple question that can change everything.
Because underneath all the effort… there’s always a primary intention.
And that intention drives your focus — which drives your results.
If your focus is on getting rid of thoughts or feelings,
you’re still operating from resistance.
And resistance is what fuels the loop.
So even if you’re using the right tools…
if the intention is wrong, the result will be too.
Recovery isn’t about eliminating thoughts.
It’s about getting out of the loop.
And that only happens when you stop fighting what you feel.
