That's just savage.and that's why you'll never change deci.you are capable of MANY great things and also capable of MANY things that are not so great in this world we call the center of the earth.
Understanding what should be done intellectually isn't enough. You have to actually abide.Seriously, like The Dude says, "abide."You keep abiding and it will condition you into a different mindset. The instant you start to deviant from the path, mindfulness should steer you right back into place because mindfulness should always be practiced. Always.It's fairly obvious that you have an abundant lack of understand of what exactly is happening to you, why it is happening to you, and what the true consequences are. Knowing it, understanding it gives you the power to change it or even avoid it altogether, but as you seem to think, "I just can't," it is inevitable that you can't.Until you accept that you can, abide by that thought, and pay attention to what is happening to you from an unbiased perspective, then you can not, and nor will you ever be able to overcome.
Well, I can try that, but I don't think its a guarantee.
Quote from: Decimator Omega on May 09, 2016, 10:28:38 PMWell, I can try that, but I don't think its a guarantee.You can try and you can fail. The point is that you have to give up the notion of try. You have to actually do it.You are set up to fail from the start the instant you abide by the thought, "I'll try." Just save yourself the effort then. If you don't have the resolve to abide by the thought, "I WILL" then don't even bother trying.This isn't some simple task you'd be undertaking, this is changing your mindset we're talking about here. Something that requires a significant amount of effort and resolve.
I don't think I could just do that without being myself.
Quote from: Decimator Omega on May 09, 2016, 10:38:56 PMI don't think I could just do that without being myself.smh, you're accepting yourself as inherently flawed, and that is absolutely foolish. The whole point of changing your mindset is becoming a new person.If you're afraid to become a new person then that's it, you're done. Have fun living the rest of your life being flawed. I'm sure it will be fun, right?

What?

I'm sure it will be fun, right?How is one not flawed?No one is perfect but you seem to think that the way you are is your inherent nature.Your nature is the result of your experience. But you can make a conscious effort to change and influence what you experience and how you perceive that experience.If you've got the time and are truly interested then maybe John Bergman can explain better than I can:YouTube
There's no such thing as karma bro. Sandtrap's life to date has made that abundantly clear. Don't behave outside your nature just because you're expecting a reward for it fam.
Change if being you hurts you enough to be someone else. You can't just pretend to be someone else, you must change yourself for it to work.One of the hardest things you can do, I think, but it would be worth the payout.

I can't just flip a switch and become a total savage.I don't think anyone meant it as flipping a switch. Aether's post summarizes it best, I think. Mindfulness towards abiding and actually doing it is the most important part of changing. If you fail, process why you've failed and try again. As to the savage part I don't understand what you mean.
I don't, but at the same time I don't want to be this overemotional wreck.
Quote from: Decimator Omega on May 10, 2016, 01:43:08 AMI don't, but at the same time I don't want to be this overemotional wreck.Like I've said. Repetition.No one masters anything with a single thought or a single experience. You have to repeat the thought, the experience, again and again.Have you ever considered meditation? I mean true meditation, as in, clearing the mind of all thought and emotion and achieving true focused attention.

I'd have to go up north to the mountains and hills to basically hike to escape from any noise.
You know I've kinda learned something
