To fix my TMJ issues, my doctor put me in braces earlier this year. It really feels like one step forward, two steps back. Movement of my teeth is supposed to be a good thing. When I went to my appointment yesterday the doctor took a couple steps back and we have to re-do something we've already done. Progress was made, but it was the wrong direction.
So many times in my life I view progress as a sign of growth and improvement. Certainly not stagnant but not always a good thing. I'm often satisfied enough just to see movement-not paying much attention to the direction of the movement. Eventually I notice that I'm not where I thought I should be and correct it, spending time and energy on keeping busy. At some point in the near future I hope to be happy with small movements in the right direction as opposed to lots of movement in any direction.
