Asking myself the reasoning behind what I do when I do it and whether I’m doing it for me or because I want somebody to think something specific about me. I’m used to just acting impulsively without much thought and while it’s gotten me far (no hesitation means more stuff happens) I don’t understand myself or who I am so I’m trying now.
Recovering from my 16 year eating disorder. The next generation is being slammed with constant social media misinformation. The pressure to be unhealthily thin is back stronger than ever. I’ve had just about every experience possible with this disorder and now I’m taking my life back with the goal that I’m going to help others, or at the very least be an example of recovery.
Making a conscious effort to not let anxiety, jealousy, or embarrassment affect the way that I interact with people and talk about them. Learning to accept “no” as an answer. Learning to apologize just once and then move on and focus on fostering positive interactions in the future, not on over-apologizing and over-dwelling on the past (which never helps things anyway and often makes things worse).
And no, I’m not talking sexual/romantic stuff, which I’ve never done much of and don’t really develop strong feelings for. I’m talking more in the academic/professional world.
Resisting faux Christianity and the fascist leviathan that wears it as a skin, setting aside atheism and becoming a true apostle of Christ by tending the poor and needy in an effort to demonstrate real goodness in a world that is falling apart in front of our eyes.
Breaking the generational cycle of uncontrolled tempers. Making great progress but it’s a choice I have to make every time something goes wrong or whatever.
