Fit, healthy, living well.
Suddenly, I was struck down by a heart attack.

If you've ditched the 9-5, a creator, solopreneur or freelancer, we share a number of qualities that got us here.
Yet these qualities mean it could also happen to you.

🧵Here's how to prevent it👇🏼

@dvassallo Sounds like it got stuck in Ask / Plan mode. Then you insisted it be an Agent. I use mostly in VSCode where you dictate the mode clearly.

@dvassallo Ha ha! I’ve been my main 3 Claude Agents’ servant for about 8 months now. Feels like a slot machine pulling the Handle. But get the endorphin hit almost evety time. Highly addictive!!

Things don't happen to you...
→ they just happen
→ and you are the witness.

The meaning is what you make it.

Changing the lens changes everything.

[Nathan Challen (🧱,🥷) @emotf]

Your brain tells you stories about everything that happens.

But who's writing those stories?

You are. And you can rewrite them anytime.

[Nathan Challen (🧱,🥷) @emotf]

Reality isn't fixed. It's filtered.

And you control the filter.

Obstacles → stepping stones
Setbacks → setups
Challenges → opportunities

@GeorgeSiosi Yes. The improved memories in chatgpt mean more recall. Yet, there is quite a bit lacking out of the box. So that’s where I built out around it.
This is a user / patient app. Even If not working with a therapist you can get oversight and guidance for a subscription fee

@GeorgeSiosi I working on this exactly George.
Adding therapist in the loop so there is clinical oversight.

@dvassallo If you want a good book on why this is the case. I recommend reading Daniel Pinks‘ “Drive”. I read it about 10 years ago but wondered why apps kept implementing Skinners’ Carrot vs Stick? If you believe Pink, this would be good in the short term but ultimately break the bond.

Feelings are not facts.

Challenge your feelings for the truth before you act on them.
