Religiously-trained brain won't let me just enjoy life
Right now, my life is pretty good; in fact, it's objectively better than it's ever been. I have a great marriage, a fulfilling job that I love, and am in a really good place.
Unfortunately, I struggle to simply enjoy it, and I've realized it's because my brain, trained by fundamentalist Christianity my entire life, has prevented me from enjoying anything "outside of God" without a heaping helping of guilt on the side. When I've been told all my life that loving anything more than God is idolatry, that I can't be happy without God, and that God is the only reason I have anything good in my life at all, that's the result. It's like my brain has created a failsafe mechanism that shuts down my pleasure centers when I'm starting to enjoy something outside of God and Christianity.
Anybody else experienced this?
