Quote:Makes you wonder even if you achieved/accumulated more whether your outlook would be affected at all. In all honesty, I'd recommend accepting any and all limitations resulting from your wounding. Expect less but be open to savoring each experience for what little it has to offer. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Indeed, like building a wall, standing on top of it, and saying "Look how tall I am!" But still, it's much easier to do a cool flip if you have a wall to jump off of.
It's a very important change that I view all of these self-improvement activities as fun. Part of exploring the world. Before, I would have just seen them as chores, arbitrarily demanded. Now I would like to master them because that's part of the joy of life.
So still, interested in concrete techniques for management of uncertainty anxiety. The intended use of this one is a sort of placebo to bypass an unhelpful instinctual behavior. It may not even require actual belief to function. I am a little wary of it still, but maybe I'll just see what it does and keep an eye on it.
