The language is a bit glib / inappropriate for something like depression. But behavioral training like this (I commented elsewhere abt it) can be successful even for people experiencing acute, clinical mental health problems. Those techniques aren’t something you’ll learn from an anti procrastination blog, but in the broader context it’s a very sound approach
- agumonkey 4y agoA few things I've noticed is: - personal level fixes: don't dwell in your own darkness, try to seize the few blinking moments of energy and do something with it, anything. It kinda revives that side of your mind. - social level fixes: the first point had low yields for me, lots of efforts, small returns, sometimes a good day and back to walking on a fine line. But when I got back to work life, even shitty places, there was like a big wave of relief sipping in my system. I theorize that as being connected with and in the same flow as others. Suddenly your brain is exposed to others stimuli that are very very powerful (sleep, diet, .. all realigned overnight without even thinking about it)
