It’s not easy being yourself. we hide it all day and sometimes even at night. I know I have to cover up who I am not only at work, but in public and with my friends, too. It’s called personal time, which I think is a staple in life.
It’s amazing to think about how much of the world goes on around us without us even knowing. you can be in a room with a handful of people – and you’re sitting there doing absolutely nothing. In that time, you have a million things going on in your mind that come together to form a thought – and several of those thoughts form an idea – and that idea is what you are thinking about in that moment, and that moment just past you by as every other person in that room experienced that moment with their own thoughts. And that’s not even accounting for all the stuff happening in the room. Even the static items that don’t move like a lamp are collecting dust by the second. The couch fabric moves and bends as the person sitting on the couch breathes. The tv is flashing lights across as mesh setup of wires that switch between 1s and 0s in patterns with switches triggering various lights within the spectrum at intervals that form pictures to match up with sound frequencies to produce something you can see with your eyes as the lights hit it and put ideas in your head.
What did you do in that second you sat there with your family watching TV? Were you relaxing? Or were you stressing out about something?
It doesn’t matter if you’re at work or at the gym or at the bar or at home. We have seconds to ourselves. These are the most important bits of time. Not the days of our lives.
You can change your attitude in a split second if you train yourself to.
There’s no point in wasting an entire day if something goes wrong. Saying you’ll sleep it off and “tomorrow will be better” are bullshit excuses to fester on our life and day to day problems.
There’s a line to find balance in. That line is your problem. And you need to attack it from one end and make sure you’re not perpetuating the problem by focusing on it too much at the other. Once you’ve realized and solved the issue at hand, move on from it, but learn from it.
