It's weird, but I feel like this sub has affected me more now that I'm not listening to it. I don't know if the mind plays catchup or something, but I notice when my brain finally gets some rest I feel the effects more.
I noticed a lot of things and came to a lot of realizations today. Basically it is what it is. When I have anxiety or I'm depressed it's better to just let it be and not get sucked into it. I used to waste so much energy thinking about it and trying to figure it out that it just got me more frustrated. Now I ride it out like a wave, some days are good, some are bad. I realized trying to hype myself up or pull myself out of bad state takes a lot of energy and eventually it wears off and I crash.
It's become more of an automatic process that doesn't need my conscious attention which is great. I just say to myself that it will pass and to not become attached to it. Sure in the moment it may feel bad, but eventually it will go away. Trying to force it away will backfire a lot of the time and cause a lot more stress, it's better to let things be and allow the subconscious to sort things out. Mastery over removing negativity in oneself becomes second nature as things happen to you but don't really "stick" so to speak.
