February 17th 2025




  1. Understanding myself and accepting myself not through mental health labels but through my own terms: I run hot and I need more rest than other people. Makes me better at some things worse at others. Need to accept the downsides and lean in to the upsides.

  2. Cravings: leaning into the hedonist side - when cravings for vices come up, remembering the pleasure that will come if I don’t go down that path, instead of focusing on the lack of immediate pleasure
