Stress out my ears right now. The second week of college is brutal because I need to get back into work mode which is very difficult, especially when I'm studying a subject that was required but I really didn't want to take.
The sub is still doing its job I guess. A bit more comfortable, but the social anxiety comes up and just stomps out all the progress at times. I'm trying to keep my head held high, not giving in to that negative side of me. I feel like it's pulling me down a little though. I feel like I'm fighting in a boxing match with my darker self and so far he's been knocking me around but I keep getting up.
People always say when life knocks you down, get back up. But life doesn't do that to you, it's mostly your attitude towards those events that spirals you down. Internal locus of control, realizing that you have control of your life and not letting things drag you down.
Just one more thing I've been pondering. In psychoanalysis or talk therapy the idea is that you get to the root of your issues and are relieved just by knowing them. Is knowing about your problem and cause enough? I honestly don't think so. I mean why would it? Maybe in some cases it could, but bad habits and mindsets of the subconscious mind are more like scripts running in the back of your head or a virus. That's how I see it. Bad beliefs are like a virus and when you have a virus you use software to remove it. You can't sit at the computer and say "well there's a virus and now that I know about it, it will take care of itself".
