Wish there was a tutorial for this. :<

This is exactly what I have been doing this month, I almost do not want to go back to everything else again, but thank you for this post for the reminder <3

Really really hate that feeling, though

It says for some time in the photo

Not sure this is motivating. Or even comforting.

I’d hope not :(

Heart attacks suck!... Lesson of a lifetime... Often the last one.

Don’t smoke.

Finding someone you can untangle the strings with. A professional can provide you with the tools to do so especially if you have repressed so much. Just remember it took a long time to live those things and put them away, working through them takes time top.

A therapist should be a good fit for you. If you don't jive or respect that person or won't serve you. Find someone who does.

Can't control how you feel so you just gotta feel it sometimes. Sorry to hear you're going through similar

I love this!

Gratitude. That is the answer you seek for being happy in the present, while still striving towards improvement. Instead of focusing on the things you're "missing" focus on what you have and be thankful - including gratitude for the desire and opportunities to grow and improve.

Start with a small, simple gratitude list each morning. Three things, minimum. Five is better. Ten if you're feeling ambitious. But it's more about the mindset than the number of things. Once you get the hang of it, things snowball and you quickly lose track of the number.

For example: I hate folding laundry. I was pissed off the other day when I realized I had a clean pile sitting on my bed that I needed to deal with before bed. Instead of ruminating on how much that sucked, I shifted perspective to be THANKFUL for all the privileges and conveniences and good fortune that having clean clothes to fold entails:

I have clothes to wear! Not just what's on my back, but lots of clothes. Different outfits for different occasions, suited to different weather, different purposes, etc. I have decent furniture and a small walk in closet to put my clean clothes in. I have a washer and dryer in my home to clean my clothes at my convenience, rather than going to a laundromat. I have clean running water to run the washer. I can afford the electricity to run those machines. Hey, that means I have a steady job to be grateful for...and it goes from there.

Maybe this example doesn't apply to you, and some people frown on it with the attitude that it's like saying, "it could always be worse" - and I guess it is to some extent. But it's more like opposite sides of the same coin because you're grateful that it isn't worse and finding joy in that simplicity.

Hope that helps, even if I've explained poorly.

Oh, they're not a problem. Just block their numbers, and turn your back on them in public.

This is a very gangster move. Always wanted to do this but alas, I choose to liberally apply strawberry preserves to Camembert cheese and devour it like a debaucherous philistine.

I've known so many people who "have it all" by society's standards but who are miserable because no matter how much they achieve, they never feel like they're successful enough. I don't want to live like that.

Oh boy... I've done this plenty of times and everytime I come back different. "Disappear" in todays world mean = get out of Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and all that shit and focus on IMPROVEMENT

Goddammit, this is EXACTLY what I came here to say! 😀

Sometimes I’d love to be a Monte Cristo equivalent. I mean, I don’t want to spend 14 years in the Chateau d’If, but I’d happily disappear for a bit and then return wildly rich and unrecognisable to dish out justice on horrible people.

I doubt my wife would be too pleased at my vanishing though.

Gym/workout people love to help with form, advice etc. People make new friends when it comes to exercise. It almost can become a shared hobby to work out. People will support you and are generally kind and enthusiastic and encouraging. Don’t let the few jerks bring you down.

Yes, I have gone through a lot, now I feel like I can handle any kind of hell. 🙂🙂

Indeed indeed
