I am working to improve self-discipline in almost all forms: diet, exercise, reading, attention span, and even relaxation. I suffer a large amount of anxiety from this. I don't do the things I need to and I do too much of the things I shouldn't. I need a better balance or I will forever be disappointed with what could have been.
- jryan49 7y agoI used to think like this. You have it backwards. You're causing yourself anxiety by setting unrealistic goals and expectations for yourself. Take some time and chill out. Stop caring so much about what you do or don't do. Soon enough you'll start just doing the things you want to do when the pressure is gone.
- physicles 7y agoSeriously. GP should take the time to read The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck. It got me out of that mindset a couple years ago.
- playing_colours 7y agoI suggest to start with self-acceptance and reflection - you cannot just force everything via pure self-discipline.
- kmarc 7y agoYou might want to check out - mindfulness - meditation Those can help tackling anxiety in general and also being more conscious about the choices you make (like spending time on stuff you'd "regret" afterwards)
- eric_cc 7y agoAs somebody that has always dealt with generalized anxiety, starting a daily yoga practice was life changing. The breath work is the most important aspect to me. I’m very fortunate to live where I can go in person to inspiring classes with great teachers.
