Fun video. Today I turned 64. The Beatles have been singing all day. I can relate to so much of this piece. I grew up in a super-critical home and inherited that trait to a T. However, with my creativity, flow, and execution, I've found that criticism and expectations of perfection do me no favors, and get me stuck in rebellion and distraction. I honestly don't feel you will have any readers attacking you if you don't deliver when you've said you would deliver. It's not like you're reporting on the stupidity of politics for which there is always something easy to dig up and express about that. You are transforming your life, figuring out what makes you tick, and learning to tick more peacefully. That is a great service to do in one's own life. It's not easy, which is why most people never do it. But you are brave enough to dig down deep to find it, fix it, heal it, and express the process freely to be of help to others if that's a possibility. I can relate to that.
I will just say this and I'd be interested in your opinion as well as your shrinks opinion on this - Men's brains have the communications sector and emotions sector on different floors and opposite sides of the building. Generally, women's brains have the emotions sector next door to the communications sector. The sector; could be a room, control center, or office.
I can't imagine how difficult it is in the body to know it won't get any nourishment until 5 pm. I understand intermittent fasting is good for all sorts of reasons but it seems to me that waiting till 5 pm is torturous for the body. Almost like, yeah, I know we've got to take a dump but no, I'll wait till 5. HUH?????? I wish you could be gentle and loving to yourself. It's taken me 64 years to learn how to do it! We all learn what we need to learn, sooner or later. I personally think you're doing great!
Happy Birthday, Journalisa! Or a belated Happy Birthday depending on the Time Zone and when you see this message!
Whether male or female, I would add a further sector to your model. The Ego sector has elbowed its way in, in between the Emotions sector and Communication sector. Which means Ego gives us the means to filter our emotions before we communicate. Women are more inclined to see their ego and indulge their vulnerability anyway. Whereas men see their ego and indulge their inner bullshitter to keep up appearances. Why? Because men have been conditioned to see vulnerability as weakness. I am in the process of reprogramming that particular line of computer code, handed down to me in my formative years, to say vulnerability equals strength. Consciously speaking, I get it though I’m not sure if I’ll live to see the day when my heart feels it!
By and large, waiting until five to eat isn’t torturous at all, provided I have other activities with which to occupy myself. It is an act of discipline which is an act of self-care. I accept this is not for everybody but it allows me to work on my distress tolerance, or delayed gratification, which translates to all aspects of my life.
My Shrink will catch your comment at some point soon so I'm sure he will reveal his perspective within the next week!
