The fact that I have such a strong desire to improve the state and quality of my life, while at the same time succumbing to a bunch of dumb self-inflicted mental tricks, and losing time, energy, and good decisions, is nearing unbearable.
Well said. I noted similar feelings in my offline journal as "dissolving lots of mini cages" instead of breaking free of one big cage like I originally envisioned.
And yes, there are lots of them hiding in the weeds sucking up lots of valuable energy.
And about 2 weeks ago, I acknowledged to myself that I also care too much about what people think (mainly in a career environment). That acknowledgment alone is helping me to separate from it..."it" being the care.
