Best brain hack is taking “this too shall pass” and applying it in the micro. The panic you feel from an argument with a friend, wanting to get on your phone when you should be studying, the absolute obsession with someone you’re crushing on, pain from rejection, utter hopelessness at a situation that is not entirely hopeless. Heavy on situations that induce panic and incentivize you to act out of turn, maybe to send a text you shouldn’t be sending or to blow up at someone or whatever it is. The antidote to knee jerk reactions is literally just “this too shall pass” and allowing yourself to feel the physical manifestation of your extreme emotion. Literally just ride it out. Even for things that can’t immediately be resolved, it makes such a big difference and prevents you from reacting in ways that you would undoubtedly regret down the line.

I feel like this goes so hand in hand with “I won’t act in panic” like I truly think this should be a boundary everyone has with themself. Panic isn’t necessarily just synonymous with fear either. I do feel like outbursts of anger can be an indirect manifestation of panic. Anger really is just the easiest emotion to access. Teaching my brain to tap into the “this too shall pass” of it all and just riding out the desire to immediately respond really has done so much for me.

This is not to say that you should force yourself not to think about something — that actually makes the craving to act on it worse. It’s more just allowing yourself to think about it, identifying the physical manifestation of it, letting it palpitate through you, but also recognizing, in the moment, that this is ephemeral and the urgency of it all will pass. My principle lately has been to surrender fully to the belief that a feeling is not forever and will subside no matter how painful.

The ship dynamic of "I love you but I will always choose the world over you. I love you but my conscience binds me to the greater good in a way I can never escape. I love you but I would sacrifice you to save the world if I had to, even though it would kill me and I would never forgive myself. I love you and a part of me wishes that I could be the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for you. But I'm not, and I never will be, and if you're going to love me I need you to understand that."

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.
