Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see. But there are certain non-negotiables in this life. Certain things we can't cheat ourselves out of. We are not a piece of meat being acted on.    However, this is where God comes in. Some o...

Emotional help for those who are stuck today

 You might be jobless and lolling around in your bed beating yourself up for being 36 and never getting anywhere in life. well, fortunately there's a way you can hack life to make it that much better. 

You might even be hung-over, and here for the last and final time (you're vowing to change things) but maybe that's a lie too. Maybe you can't trust yourself ever again. 

The good news: 

So the good part of this is that you didn't wake up with someone you don't love. If you did, you'd either have to ship them out of the house in a hurry, or live with them forever. 

The second piece of good news is that you have a blank canvas. Provided you don't need to call anyone urgently, and provided you have nothing on your plate, you have no worries.




CHANGE OF CONTEXT

Your lifesaver today will come in the form of a context-shift. Don't stay in bed. Don't stay under the covers. Don't wear your pyjamas. Don't stay unprofessional. If your house is too much of a mess, get out. If it isn't, move to another room. 


IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!

Okay, so to shake off the feeling of loser-dom, all you have to do is change everything. 

1. Change the clothes you'd normally spend all day in into something that says you're going out. 

2. Go to a room (other than your bedroom) with a desk and sit down in your non-pajamarly clothes. 

3. Begin an exciting project. I'm writing this. What are you doing today? 

4. Every time your mind drifts to the past or worries about the future, bring it back to the task at hand. 


HOPE IT HELPS!!!
