A patchwork of things has helped me acquire and maintain a more balanced life. I’d say the largest contributor was adopting ‘radical acceptance’ as a way of life. Basically, I’m constantly, consciously accepting whatever is happening to me. It doesn’t mean I don’t try to change things but it means that I’m not always resisting everything.

Walking hands?! 😂

Getting shot at is bad for your health, got it

I’m curious if you could imagine any information that would shift your position on any of your ideas? I’m not trying to be a dick, genuinely wondering.

I think you’re talking about the new medication approved to treat postpartum depression.

Increased risk of suicidal thoughts and actions is a very commonly listed side effect of a great deal of antidepressant medications. That’s why you’re supposed to be closely supervised when you start them and report any oddities to your doctor asap.

So it doesn’t increase suicidal tendencies across the board, only in those who are susceptible to that side effect.

Sounds to me like you’re already on the path to having it figured out when you say something like “I know I’ll eventually find a bright side to this”.

I’ve had to come to terms with limitations myself. The thing that’s worked best for me is radical acceptance. Simply always accepting that the present moment is what it is. That doesn’t mean give up improving or anything. It just means that however I’m feeling in the present about my limitations is ultimately not that important. The sun will rise tomorrow regardless of what’s going on for me.

Looking at the picture “the pale blue dot” helps with this idea too.

TNG: A Matter of Time. I like the schadenfreude at the end.

It was the us store. I hadn’t thought of asking my game store to bring it in.

$53 Canadian, no problem. An extra $35 for shipping, big sad.

Yes! Thanks.

It’s telling me I don’t have access. Is it by request only?
