A Few Foundational Things
A few foundational things to work on.
-
Stop telling lies, to both yourself and other, not even the "harmless" little ones.
-
Focus on one thing at a time, write down whatever distracts you to be settled later, or simply discard.
-
Name your thoughts, name your feelings, name your actions.
-
Don't complain, don't explain, the world owes no one anything.
-
Train your heart, push your muscles, stretch your joints.
-
Discard your anxiety, don't suffer in imagination, face reality with reason and action.
-
Love, don't hate, especially your own self.
-
Rest when you can, turn in early, sleep is how we recover.
-
The map is not the territory, don't confuse what's real with what's not, bias is everywhere.
-
Have difficult conversations, seek understanding, not victory.
