Perspective? A Totally Different Way to Think About the Pandemic!

ALERT!!!! How to look at the pandemic from a totally different perspective!


If you listen to the news, watch the media, or read social media, you will find 10 million different explanations on what caused the pandemic, how to deal with the pandemic, when it’s going to end, and so forth.


But what if I were to tell you that there’s a healthier, more powerful way to move through this pandemic than reading, watching, and discussing all of the insanity around it?


I am a different thinker. I am not normal, my whole family would agree with me, I am not a normal guy, I’m not a normal counselor, there’s nothing normal about me so this article will surely not be normal either!


For the past 42 years, as a counselor, number one best-selling author, and more we have helped millions of people change their perspective on life in order to become more successful, find inner peace, and create the life they’ve always wanted.


Does that sound good to you?


Even during the pandemic, would you like to start to create a more successful life? A happier one?


Would you like to create a better relationship right now during the pandemic? Would you like to make more money during the pandemic?

Would you like to get into better shape during the pandemic?


Well, I have the answer, if you’re willing to stretch your mind, and get out of the little boxes that we all paint ourselves in, that can allow us to lose weight, create a deeper relationship with our partner, find a better job or make more money, drop addictions… Any goal you want I can help you get there super fast if you’re willing to stretch your mind!


I just did a national radio media tour, and it was amazing how many of the hosts wanted to blame the new president on the pandemic, or they want to blame the drug companies for screwing around with the vaccines. They want to blame. They want to blame. They want to blame!


And it shocks me because we’ve been in this pandemic for over a year now, so why are people still talking about conspiracy theories, blame, etc.?


If you remember 2020, everyone kept saying “wait until 2021! The virus will be gone, the pandemic will be over, and we will be back to normal!“

What a bunch of nonsense!


In 2021 we still have massive outbreaks, we still have people dying from the virus, we still have countries shutting down… Doesn’t that tell us something?


So if you want to continue to argue about how this pandemic started, who is to blame, you can do that but I’m going to offer an alternative little rock your little world!


And what is that alternative?


“Accept the pandemic today as if it’s never going to leave!“


Did you read what I just wrote?


“Accept the pandemic today as if it’s never going to leave!“


You see when we use acceptance of the fact that the pandemic is here “so I’m just going to wear the mask and not worry about it, I’m going to keep social distancing and not cause a fit over it, I’m not going to go into a grocery store and scream at the manager because he wants me to wear a mask and I don’t want to”…


You can continue with that attitude and you’re going to be stressed, you’ll turn into an alcoholic, relationships will fall apart, you’ll gain weight, you’ll feel like crap, you’ll be mentally exhausted all the time because you’re fighting versus accepting.


So here are the benefits of accepting the fact that the pandemic is here to stay:


Number One. We quit worrying about when it’s going to leave. So many people are so focused on “when is this going to be over?”, that they’re not dealing with the reality that it’s still here.


Number Two. Start living your damn life today! Open the new business, grab a few business partners, start a new business that will flourish, fill a need that’s not being met in your society or somewhere in the world…


Don’t let the pandemic get in the way, instead, use it as an opportunity to be creative and create a better business or more money.


Number Three. When we accept the fact that the pandemic is here for as long as it’s here, we decrease our stress levels, we start making better choices with food, we start taking care of our bodies, we’re not waiting for some magical day when “the pandemic is finally over“, to live our lives.


Number Four. We totally remove ourselves from the ridiculous reports on television and radio and social media that continue to hammer blame, deflection, and all of the ridiculousness that’s going on for the past year and a half.


Number Five. When we accept the fact that the pandemic is here for as long as it is, we actually can take a big breath and live again!


Sure we’re going to wash our hands, cover our faces with the mask, and social distance but our attitude is going to be phenomenal!


Our attitude will improve because we’re not arguing with anyone anymore, we’re not trying to convince them that we are right and they are wrong, our attitude improves because we’ve come to the place of acceptance in life!


I had to do this very same thing when I accepted years ago that I was an alcoholic.


I had to do the very same thing when I accepted years ago and I was a cocaine addict.


I had to do the same thing years ago when I accepted the fact that I was extremely codependent in intimate relationships, and it was through the acceptance of all of the stuff above that allowed me to heal!


Don’t fight the pandemic anymore!


Quit arguing with people over conspiracy theories!


Just simply accept and hey, life is different, my superpower is adapting to change in life, so let me use my superpower!


Adapt! Change! But whatever you do quit fighting!


I know there’s going to be a lot of people that will hate this article… They want to stay stuck in “being right, arguing, arguing, being right!”

And for those people, there’s nothing that’s going to change their minds so I don’t even care if they disagree with me.


But for the people who are open-minded? I swear to God, this article will radically change your life not just for today, but for the rest of your life!

If you need help coming to acceptance of everything that’s going on, it’s not the easiest thing to do but I can tell you it’s going to be worth it.


Reach out to me from anywhere in the world and I will help you via phone or Skype to overcome the resistance, accept the reality of life, create more inner peace, success and joy.


It’s time, to change.”

By David Essel June 3, 2024
Even though I’ve been in this industry counseling people on sex, addiction, and porn addiction for 45 years, we have never seen the increase of these two addictions, and they can be quite different, that we’ve seen over the past five years. Porn addiction hijacks the brain, and it makes it very difficult to stay in any type of a committed relationship, because individuals become so used to the constant variety and changing of the different fetishes as well as body types and experiences that the Internet offers up even for free! SEX Addiction, when we’re talking about an individual that must have multiple partners, or someone that even forces their partner to have sex more than maybe the partner wants, it can be a completely different ball game in regard to treatment and recovery. And that’s because of the emotional involvement that many people get into when they have a sex addiction with real people, where that doesn’t happen as frequently if someone is addicted to porn, they may like certain porn actors or actresses, but they don’t create an emotional bond. But as I mentioned above, porn, addiction is nothing to take simple or easy, I have multiple clients right now in their late 20s that started their porn addiction at the age of 10 and even though they have wonderful partners they can’t have sex on a regular basis because they cannot keep an erection due to their craving for variety versus just being with one person. Every Addiction, we treat in a very similar way which might sound surprising, even our new book on permanent alcohol and life recovery, we use most of that information in that book with people who are addicted to sex or porn or food or social media or video games… I think you get the idea so many addictions when we get into treatment are treated in a very similar fashion. First we find the origin of the addiction, which means when did it start, why did it start, how did it start, and how long has it been going on? And we treat the whole person not just the Addiction part of it, because we want the whole person to gain that self-confidence back and self-love, which we lose when we’re involved with any addiction whatsoever. If you’re struggling with porn or sex addiction, go ahead and look at our permanent addiction, recovery page, study deeply study this page and that should give you some good ideas and how we approach all addictions. In 2024, the top addictions that we are working with of course are sex and porn, food, alcohol, pot and social media addiction. The addictions continue to rise in this country and until we get to the origin, which we do our practice, and then add solution steps, so people will not cross addict, or relapse, we have answers for everything. Here is a quote from a woman that I worked with several years ago who never thought she’d be able to break her sex and porn addiction as she was struggling with both. "David shared with me information that was so deep, I had no idea the difference between the porn addiction I had or the addiction I had with phone sex, or with men in general. It was a way for me to escape reality, my work demands a lot of hours, and I was using my sex and porn addiction as a way to give myself a break, sort of like a reward for all the hours I worked. However, it almost cost me my job as I started showing up late on a regular basis because I wanted to get one more orgasm at home before I left for work .” She is now free of both addictions and has been for over 15 years after going through our program. I know you’ll find the same success regardless of what type of sex or porn addiction you’re struggling with right now. Never give up! I will be by your side showing you the way, to complete freedom.
