Giving out free postcards to the first 30 people who upgrade to a paid subscription on my Substack! I'll be writing a note on the back too. Looking forward to writing about things I care about and sending posts out several times a month. I write about books, writing, social media, urbanism and most anything that interests me, so I hope my writing can offer a wide range of variety for my readers to enjoy

The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.
You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)

Please help me save her. Every day that passes becomes harder than the one before, and the illness is weakening her body more and more.
I am not asking for the impossible… I am asking for a chance at life for my mother. Your help today could save her from illness and from death.
If just 50 people donate $20 each, I can save my mother and buy the urgent treatment she needs.
Please do not ignore this plea. Your donation is life… and your share is hope.

I actually have to build the life I want to live.
sense of agency is a skill truly........ it takes work convincing yourself that you have to make moves if you dont want life to spontaneously happen to you instead of having some saying in what happens in it and if you have self destructive tendencies on top of that, it takes trust in yourself to almost blindly believe that it actually matters that you have power over your own life
Ahhhh i needed to hear this
The older I get, the more I come to realize my biggest fear is just living a mediocre life where I am a slave to my anxiety and self doubt. It is so paralyzing and I know it is only I, that can give myself the opportunity to experience more. Nothing matters more than the chances you can give yourself every day to try again.
“My biggest fear is just living a mediocre life” !!!!!

Positive self-esteem protocol, to "directly and systematically evoke positive feeling states in conjunction with the self-representation"
(1) Situation-based self-esteem enhancement: drawing on particular situations that create "short-duration positive self-esteem states", usually associated with "doing something effectively."
Imagine a situation in which you really like yourself. Imagine a scene in which you are feeling deeply satisfied with yourself. Imagine a situation in which you’re feeling really proud about yourself [or in which you are especially pleased with yourself, or in which you are especially confident about yourself] . . . and when the scene has become clear to you, you can describe what’s happening and the positive feelings you’re having about yourself.
(2) Enhancing self-esteem in the context of relationships: "it is often far more difficult for those with self-esteem deficits to evoke and maintain positive self-feelings in relationship to others as compared to the context of activities."
Imagine a situation in which you are feeling especially good about yourself in relationship to others [or feeling really comfortable with yourself around others, or feeling that you matter to someone] . . .
Imagine a scene in which others are respecting or appreciating you for who you are [or in which you are being with others in a way that you are letting them see who you really are in a deep way, and they’re responding really well to who you are] . . . When you’re ready, you can describe what’s happening and the positive feelings you’re having about yourself.
(3) Skill development: "develop[ing] skill in generating positive self-feelings quickly and for longer duration, and to generalize the learning across contexts"
See how quickly you can come into contact with the strong, positive feelings about yourself . . . and more and more you’ll find yourself being able to bring your positive feelings about yourself more and more quickly into your awareness . . . so that you always have access to them, really quickly.
Notice that you can hold this strong, positive feeling about yourself for longer and longer . . . you can come to feel especially good about yourself for longer and longer durations.
Familiarize yourself with this state of mind . . . these strong positive feelings about yourself . . .Now imagine bringing this positive self-feeling into some other situation . . . a situation that you don’t normally associate with holding a positive feeling about yourself . . .
(4) Stress challenge: maintaining positive self-feelings in situations have been associated with strong negative self-feelings. Introducing the expectation that one can maintain a strong, positive feeling about themselves even in the most difficult of situations that have been associated with a strong loss of self-esteem.
Now imagine having and keeping especially good feelings about yourself in exactly the type of situation that you could never imagine feeling good about yourself in before [or in the type of situation that you were previously at risk of losing a good sense of yourself in, or keeping a good sense of yourself in the midst of difficulties, or keeping a good sense of yourself in exactly the type of situations where you previously felt bad about yourself, or imagine that you are feeling good about yourself even in the worst situations you can imagine].
(5) Integrating self-esteem as a way of being: "the development of positive self-esteem over the course of the therapy eventually transcends activities and becomes a way of being"
Imagine a scene about some time in the future when you have become less and less concerned about accomplishments and more and more about discovering contentment within yourself . . .
Imagine that it begins to feel that you have always felt this way . . .
Imagine a part of your mind will always carry this awareness . . .
You’ll begin to sense this good feeling about yourself as part of the core of your being.
The scene will be about being valued without needing to do anything.
In this scene, you can delight in just being who you are. You can be content just in who you are. You’re finding that special quality of being. You’re feeling good just to be alive. You’re finding a greater satisfaction in life in everyday living, where just being with yourself and as yourself is enough.
Notes from Appendix A, The Core Self, Proactive Self-Agency, Self-Esteem, and the "Best" Self, in Attachment Disturbances in Adults: Treatment for Comprehensive Repair, Daniel P. Brown and David S. Elliott
once I adopted the abundance mindset, I realized that things don’t need to be hard: if it’s meant for me, I don’t need to worry. and If it’s not meant for me, then I definitely don’t need to worry.’ this applies to all areas of life. it can be simple. when you have attachments to the outcome of things, this is where suffering occurs. when there are no attachments, there is just life. the energy is open, flowing, and in harmony with the divine order. what’s meant for you won’t miss you and if it does, it wasn’t meant for you. because of this, everything is working in your favor at all times. the more you affirm it, the more you’ll be shown by the universe that everything truly does work in your favor
Being unhappy with your situation right now does not make you ungrateful for everything you have. You are allowed to strive for more, to want something different, to explore another direction. It is ok to crave change. It is ok to want something you have wanted for a very long time. It does not mean that you do not appreciate your life as it is. These two things can coexist - you can be very grateful with your life and still want something to change. It is never just black and white. Please do not be so hard on yourself, my love. You are working very hard and you do not need the pressure of having to be grateful and happy all the time. You are human. You are allowed to feel sad and lost. And you will find the life you are hoping for. I promise.
Man i needed this 🥲🥹
