I need to learn to accept things – especially short-term pain, aloneness, emptiness, etc. – and stop trying to block those things out with distractions that are only going to make things worse in the long-term.
I need to let go of my childhood memories that cause me pain and heartache. I have held them so long as a means of self protection and/or preservation, it’s made me fear potential success.
Dpn’t have a mindset… every day I am dealt a new hand in the game of life and I play the cards I get… 🙂

A mindset is an established ideology or attitude (in some circles it is also known as being closed minded in some cases, extremism in some cases)…, I don’t have that… 🙂

pick up my camera more often, the more I shoot, the happier I am.
The less we have ‘set’ in our minds the happier we will be. Treat each day for what it is. A new one, and realize the ‘present’ is exactly what it’s called. A gift, or present. xxx
You’re right. One bad behavior doesn’t define a person. I have to condition myself to let that part of me go. It’s just Im an artist and im sensitive about my sh*t…I’ll give you an example: I wrote a scene that plays out a “cat & mouse” scenario between two characters;within this scene is the crux of the obsession that’s built with this character over the other. My hubbs has been my beta reader and he gave his opinion on it reluctantly and because I couldn’t explain to him that I was focusing on the psychology of the scene not only the action within it, in my mind I heard I failed and I told him not to read anymore. But I want his help. I always want others help, I just hear failure when they give their opinion.
To remember to breathe and stay present. To not be so scared all the time. I fear the unknown and change but then again everything is changing. I want to embrace change
I need to forget about it.
Forget about it?
To be more specific, I need to go read more about processing emotional pain.
I understand now. What causes that pain?
Regret, fear of rejection, fear of messing things up, …
It’ll pass…
It will 🙂
Thank you… I really hope so 🙏🏻😌

I agree 100%
Long term wellbeing is more important than short term distractions.
Staying focus on what really matters.
I love this! Yes, we need yo do that on a daily basis.
I need to stop procrastinating so much and plan things out.
Word!!! Me too; and to execute that plan.
Yes!!! We all should try to do so for the new year!
What do you need to change in order to do that?
I need to begin planning ahead for myself. I need to create a schedule that works for me but still allows some time to just be me.
Do it! 😀
I need to make a plan. I think I just rush to begin instead of taking my time to devise a proper plan then motivate myself to execute.
I need to learn to accept the things I cannot change or control.
That would be great even though it’s hard.

Since they’re not helpful, you need to let them go…

Could not having a mindset be a mindset itself? 🙂

One “extra” picture per day can help with this 🙂
Oh well where do I begin? To just sit and write and create and stop being so lazy and procrastinating.
That’s where you begin 😀
The less we have ‘set’ in our minds the happier we will be. Treat each day for what it is. A new one, and realize the ‘present’ is exactly what it’s called. A gift, or present. xxx
It would be so awesome if we can do this!
Practice and patience my friend. xx
I would like to change what I think happens after death. However, I think that I would only be deluding myself.
What do you think it happens after death?
Our energy, what we consider our souls, returns to the Source and merges back into it.
If I knew that, I’d need less therapy.
At least, you know the outcome that bothers you and based on that, you went to therapy. I hope the sessions help you 🙂
Intensely. It comes down to my values and those of many of my relative are different. I’m following my heart, not theirs.
To quote Mark Twain, “Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.”
Totally agree!
Accepting criticism without blowing up or thinking I failed.
I think that differentiating between behavior and identity can help you with this. I actually made a post about this idea. You can read it and let me know your thoughts about the idea -> https://pointlessoverthinking.wordpress.com/2018/08/14/identity-versus-behavior/

I need to learn the art of not over thinking!!
Yes, we need to learn to control our mind.
To remember to breathe and stay present. To not be so scared all the time. I fear the unknown and change but then again everything is changing. I want to embrace change
Embracing change can be one of the toughest things out there. But in the end, it can be very rewarding.
Not to over think ever.
What do you overthink the most?
I over think about mostly everything and that’s my only problem.
It paralyzes you from going forward due to the huge amount of anxiety? Or does it manifest in other ways?
You just got it, it just paralyzes me from going forward.
Is it because of fear of failure or because there are too many options and you don’t know which one to pick?
