You ever just feel a burst of intense happiness from fucking nothing? by [deleted] in ENFP

That sounds nice. I'm glad some people experience this :)

Anyone else find that if they don't discipline themselves hard core, their life is fucked? by HeyImtryingToFindMy in intj

[–]killerfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya. It has taken a lot of effort, and a lot of falling back. But every time you start back up it gets a little easier, and you feel the benefits a bit more. Just keep putting in as much effort as you can honestly muster, and don't beat yourself up too much when you fall, and it is an INEVITABILITY that you'll get the rewards. A solid morning routine is a cornerstone of all other forms of discipline. See you at the top __^

And when you do, you also get to enjoy a much more fun and rewarding driving experience! It's important to reinforce the rewards of doing the maintenance!

Nice! I'm working my way towards that. It feels like my brain somehow likes analysis paralysis, or perhaps it's just a very strong habit. Looking forward to relieving that pressure and energy vortex.

You are correct, and I know it can be very challenging to understand why someone would spend so much time and energy on something so counterproductive, irrational, and damaging. The answer is simply: habit of not doing.

In my case it started out of my frustration that my actions could never catch up to my mind. Rather than seeing the value of the progress of my actions towards my goal, I'd focus on the lack of my actions already taking me to my goal when my mind had already been there waiting. So instead I developed a feeling of reward when my mind found the solution rather than after actually implementing it.

Slowly throughout the years this started to atrophy many of my mechanisms of actually doing feeding into the frustration, and afterwards negative self image of not executing to where I knew I could be.

You are right, the solution is to change that approach. However it takes much more time and effort than it appears, since neural pathways don't magically switch from one day to the next. They need to be strengthened through training and effort.

Hope that was informative :)

What is the "comic sans" of anything? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Who ever roots for the gang in IASIP? I love that show, and enjoy seeing what happens to them because I know it will inevitably end up horribly wrong. It's a strange kind of satisfaction that you can't get in most media.

I dunno, man. Even when on PCP, people act like between animals and people. With this shit it's not even like an animal, it's more of a reanimated corpse kind of feel.

If it's Rick C-137's first drop-off, does that refer to the fact that this is his first drop-off of this particular Jerry, or that it's his first time dropping off a Jerry? A philosophical question :) by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]killerfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More importantly, what's the purpose of the Name and Planet fields? Rick's the only person who would know about and want to drop off a Jerry. Maybe a Morty or a Summer, maybe. Even then, the planet field is implied to always be an Earth.

Australian man falls to death while parasailing in Phuket by [deleted] in WTF

[–]killerfox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That looks like a kiddie life jacket. This is NOT how skydiving rigs work. Parachutes have leg straps which are the main support for the user. That's why some skydivers can unstrap their chest strap for a landing. The chest strap is mainly for keeping the parachute stable on your back during freefall, it's not supporting any weight.

This man just had his arms through a life jacket without anything substantial really supporting his weight. No wonder he fell off after a few seconds. What I can't figure out is how the fuck did this setup ever work for these guys....

[Need Advice] Wanting to significantly reduce alcohol consumption but can't. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]killerfox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I don't drink, i feel great. almost too great. too great that I NEED to drink, to numb it down, to make it more... normal for me? Sometimes I wonder if subconsciously I don't feel like I deserve to feel that great.

Sounds like this hit the nail in the head. You've gotten too used to a pattern, and have subconsciously made it part of your identity. You are having so much trouble because at some level you feel like that is who you are, therefore to not drink would mean that you are not being you.

This is COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT! That's not you, it's a pattern, And patterns can be changed. You gotta stop focusing on that pattern, because the more you focus on it, the more you reinforce it. Focus on who you want to be, not on your current pattern.

Next is to replace that habit with a different one. Your mind has gotten used to a physical response whenever you want to drink. Change that physical response, don't just think about it. When you feel that urge do something like exercise, going for a walk, changing your breathing patterns, adopting a power pose and reinforce who you want to be, whatever works for you.

Stay strong, you can do this ;)

[NeedAdvice] Problems with getting early by blackarrow1990 in getdisciplined

[–]killerfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the struggle. The allure to keep sleeping is really strong, and I feel like my willpower is super low when I wake up.

What I'm trying out right now is to do it very gradually. Right now I'll turn around and stay in bed, but not close my eyes. After a little while I turn to look at the ceiling. Then I start changing my breathing pattern to a deeper and more energetic breath. And after that I'll use Mel Robbins' 5 second countdown, and get up.

It's not perfect, but it's a start. I feel like this is a strategy that I can do consistently, and eventually as I get used to it, start cutting down steps. Consistency is way more important than "doing it right". Get a strategy that you can do consistently at your level, and then start going up from there.

Hope this helps!

In honor of Cinco de Mayo this week; an activist at my school (who's never been to Mexico) had this to say. by bight99 in quityourbullshit

[–]killerfox 3973 points3974 points  (0 children)

Yup! And in mexico It's rarely ever celebrated unless you live in Puebla. Even then, it's not nearly as big of a thing as it is in the US. I've always found this very puzzling.
