We could probably start here. What do you feel you’re supposed to be doing? Procrastinating is in my experience just avoiding uncomfortable emotions. If we didn’t have tech we’d probably go for a walk, throw rocks at other rocks, stare at the sky, etc. My point being it’s not the technology that’s the problem, it’s just human behavior.
The courses and exercises that would resolve all those blockages dr4 is trying to break, but those blockages are putting resistance to doing that, making a paradox.
Now after i made the thread and contemplated introducing another sub might give me the extra push to break it.
Thanks for that. For me, it’s a absolutely new point of few. If we need procrastination to cope with something, we procrastinate. Using social media, news or just nature.
That’s a great insight!

My path is always partly spiritual even with material goals as even they translate and feed into spiritual growth, so running at least one spiritual sub is good for me.

I will be honest, it sounds like you’re not living life. Your dopamine is fried, and you’re clinging to your comfort zone. You’re in a stagnant state. Too complacent.
You have to wake up immediately and activate your Eddie Morra. Start playing the game. Start living like you’re the main character in your own movie/video game. Start leveling up. Aspire to do amazing things, meet amazing people, create amazing moments. Pursue excellence and knock everything out of the fucking park. Succeed and celebrate. Fail and celebrate. That’s the beauty of it.
Reconnect yourself back to the magic of life. If you’re on the internet, soak in valuable knowledge from everywhere that elevates you. Take high ROI courses, learn skills, learn structures of things and use knowledge to elevate yourself. Follow your passions. Get in the gym, get active. Doesn’t have to be hardcore, just do some type of physical activity if you aren’t. Nothing wrong with learning Jamaican English if you’re passionate about that, that’s good. Set clear goals. Financial, physical, social, spiritual, etc, and go after them. Become multi faceted and develop universal skills like cooking for example. Stay ahead of everyone, get up to date on the latest technology - that’s useful news. Look around you, do you not see how fascinating everything is, from the largest scale to the smallest level. How humans live, how nature thrives, how creativity manifests down to the small need.
You have no idea how much of a crazy video game you’re in where possibility is limitless and you have the potential to see, do and experience so much. Instead you just waste months watching negative news programming, and procrastinating in a cycle. Stop. Go out in nature, get inspired. Embrace greatness. Greatness isn’t a status, it’s a way of living. It’s an experience of opening up to limitlessness and having the courage to explore it. It’s a door that you walk through, and never look back. Wake up, champ. Who is @Akephalos?
Good. In every story, the main character falls to his weakest point. He looses all hope, and meaning… all purpose. All sense of color, disconnected from what was. He becomes weak, reminiscing over the past.
Then he comes back stronger than he’s even been. Now is your chance to do that, in 2024.
The question is, do you have the courage to do that. And that’s where my hands are tied.
Good luck, lol.

That’s a tall order to fulfill and a lot of expectation on yourself. Hypothetically if you ran through those courses and they didn’t give you what you needed how would that make you feel? Is it possible you’re procrastinating on them because deep down you’re worried they won’t help?
Something I’ve had to understand is there’s never just that one thing that fixes everything or is the solution. And the more importance you place on it the more pressure to succeed. What was a small building block to improving your life now turns into this massive fail or succeed scenario which generates anxiety which causes procrastinating.

Hot take, but I also believe heavy spiritual subs have to be paired with some kind of more physical/earthly subs to ground you. Unless you’re very grounded to begin with. Otherwise there’s a tendency to split off into higher concepts that can’t be practically applied into the actual experience of living life.
Example of that being the rabbit hole you went down dealing with ethics, human behavior, international foreign policy, etc. I will never discourage anyone from being informed, but you gotta take care of yourself first before you get into all that heady shit.
