It’s a period of high energy right now. There’s a few things in my life that changed how I view myself. All of it’s positive! Don’t worry, I’m not down in the dumps or anything.
Healthy Gamer Coaching
Not sure how familiar you are with Healthy Gamer GG. Dr. K. is a psychologist who specializes in things like video game and pornography addiction. He noticed that there wasn’t any serious study into the mental health of gamers, so he founded Healthy Gamer.
I used the coaching program because I felt low motivation. They offer six months of coaching and I came out of that with a better understanding of how to work with my brain to achieve my goals. The way I did it was only giving me marginal improvements. Then I did the coaching and I made significant progress in understanding myself. Yet, it wasn’t the largest thing to improve my mental health tools.
Why Some Men Never Grow Up
A few weeks ago, Dr. K. did a livestream on “Why Some Men Never Grow Up.” The title didn’t feel relevant to me at first, but as I watched, I felt like one member who said they were “slapped awake.” I wish that I could give it justice here. My mind is enamored with fantasies of being a comic artist that when reality arrived and I needed to work, I flinched and stopped. It’s where my low motivation was stemming.
My mind searches for reasons to keep me from acting when things are difficult and so I am committing to sticking it out when things get tough. I mean, simple enough, right? It seems like common knowledge, right? It’s how you take low motivation, right? It’s not that simple and there’s far more nuance to it than I shared here. So I encourage you to watch Dr. K’s livestreams on Puer Aeternus.
Future Action
My inner child will be my ally to get shit done. I treated it the wrong way before, and I did what I felt like instead of what I intended. So yeah, I’m not down in the dumps or anything. Already, I feel much more capable of doing what I want. Here’s to the future of being intentional!
