"This is how our country is falling apart!"
there is no tangible permanent state of happiness, there is no finish line to cross
even in the happiest periods of my life i am capable of feeling sadness, anxiety or a general sense of ingratitude for the wonderful life i have
i am capable of being disappointed in myself or feeling lazy, unmotivated, undeserving
in my experience the greatest test of my mental wellbeing is how long it takes me to recover from when i feel off
how long do i let myself sit in negative thoughts, how much do i let them disrupt my day etc
'i get knocked down, but i get up again' is the meme metaphor of every life. ups and downs are inevitable, but i think focussing on the intermission is where you can near closer to measuring the immesurable
i see a lot of ppl who postpone their happiness. negative happiness means there is something lacking, a sense of i would or will be happy if only xyz. it's often portrayed as 'once this happens ill be happy'
'once i make x, once my job finishes up, as soon as the move is finished, once the merger is done'
it is good to have measurable lights at the end of the tunnel to keep striving towards, but life is simply too short to think about how you can be happy in 10 years rather than how to be happy today
i have an article i posted about baselines which kinda describes how i go about managing my own happiness. today is an example of a day where i will be happy with just achieving the non-negotiables, today is not a day for me to strive bc im not mentally up for it
today is a day for kindness directed at myself, a reminder that i should get back to all my routines that i may have let slip in between getting drunk in the mountains and strolling around london
waking up to unpredictable days is the most wonderful thing in the world but it also means you have to put more effort into routine
sometimes i vibe too hard and forget to do the things i need to do in order to continue having my blessed perspective on life. actually i don't forget, i just don't prioritise
everything is cyclical, and today for me is another opportunity to measure my own growth. how long will the jords-mental-bear market last?
so far it's been about an 2h and im already feeling much better after writing my thoughts down, now it's time to pour myself some tea and read a bit
i know the things to lean on when im down, but my differentiator is that i will actually do them. knowing it worked in the past is a flywheel effect for the present as i do them
idk if any of this is helpful to share, but it was helpful for me to write. i woke up feeling great, i got a bit anxious throughout the day and now im back to doing the right things to win again. got knocked down, v soon to be back up again
that's the beautiful thing about being alive, i get another chance to win tomorrow, and the day after that
