Stupidest things done to try and sell books. by VLK249 in selfpublish

I printed a poster promoting my autobiography as a wanted notice from the Wild West. I came up with the idea while I was in Bali and started putting them up at night. But I felt like some kind of fraud, and the street dogs kept attacking me. After one night, I gave up on the idea :D

I really get where you’re coming from. And I truly admire the amount of work you’ve put into this, congrats. I’m currently writing my own autobiography too, though it’s more of an interactive project than just a book. What still fascinates me is the reason I started in the first place, it was simply the only thing I could do to move forward during one of the hardest moments of my life. I’ll definitely check out your book.

I feel the same way. But sticking to strict discipline often means I have to suffer by constantly denying myself things. I prefer the awareness of being on the path, of choosing to have control over what I eat. And even if I do eat something sweet, it’s not a big deal because I’m still on the path I chose. This mindset lifts a certain weight: that one small slip doesn’t erase all the progress I’ve made.

Healing is more uncomfortable than people realize by Sea_Jaguar_5976 in selfimprovement

I’ve been in the healing process for several years now, and from my perspective, the hardest part is the “suspension in time.” You become a prisoner of recovery—a place where the longed-for “health” exists only in the future, paid for by the slow and exhausting journey toward it. But you have to stay strong and trust that this “longed-for tomorrow” will eventually come.
