In addition to not helping myself by wasting time excessively analyzing videos on what I could be doing to help myself,
What I also could be doing,
Is watching videos and admiring another’s success,
Instead of focusing on what I could be doing,
Now is making blog posts such as these a “waste of time” as well?
Does that depend on how they’re viewed?
Such as (pertaining to this post),
Either wasting time by talking about what I “could” be doing,
Or sharing feelings that help remind people they’re “not alone”,
Which therefore may (even if to a very microscopic degree) at least somewhat help whoever reads this feel less painfully isolated..?
I guess(?) I can also say that;
For example;
There’s what’s helpful that can be taken and applied from what certain people have to offer,
And then there’s harmful effects that can also become received of which were initially intended to be helpful,
Such as,
I can either spend more time being hard on myself for “not doing” more of what I’m being suggested to start or remember to practice,
Or I can practice it without additionally weighing myself down internally from excessive self-criticism in addition to various forms of harmful criticism that I already might receive presently and have constantly received in the past from others (in addition to all the past self-criticism that may also weigh me down),
As for that,
Regardless of the underlying intent of forces of criticism,
I can also remember to take a look at how any forms of criticism are truly affecting me,
Such as,
Are they helping inspire while clearing more internal emotional tension..?
Or are they just discouraging myself..?
And as always,
If any pain seeking energy forces within myself or whoever want to criticize myself so they can feel “stronger” and more “dominant”,
Well,
Essentially,
Instead of trying to push down all that’s emotionally and/or physically toxic for myself,
I can instead try my best,
To notice it while allowing it to pass,
And hopefully it feels easier,
Through practice
