You may think you conquered a challenge long ago, and then it rears its ugly head.  Same old same old.  What is going on here?  Could it be that you have changed, and it is time to change the way you handle things?  You are a work in progress.  You are constantly growing.  If you continue to do things the way you’ve always done them, you will become stuck.  Assess your habits and patterns every so often.  Now is the perfect time to do so as you approach the beginning of a new year, a new cycle.  Do not simply seek pleasure over pain, but to rise above the duality of pleasure and pain and find a wholly new way to live your life:  from the wholeness that is within you now. 

You are so very loved.
