Workouts too: am I sore because I’m doing it wrong, or am I sore because I’m doing it right and muscles I’m not used to using much are tired?
When I first started using a rowing machine I thought for a not insignificant amount of time that my form was bad and I was hurting my back.
Turns out my form was good and I was just getting that GOOD ache from my back muscles getting stronger 😄
Unpopular maybe opinion:
Hashing things through / working things out refers both to letting go or doing hard things you don’t want to do, to be sure.
The reason that there is almost no confusion between what things are hard to do, and what things are difficult to let go of, is that although we generally acknowledge they are similar in nature, they require completely different solutions, and we often instinctively know which is which, to the degree that we can talk with buddies and just know they are processing a “threshold task” or need to let go of something.
If we do not instinctively know, it is almost always the latter, something that is difficult to let go of, that is pretending to be a hard thing you must do. They can fill your mind with mind traps and masquerade as things it’s not, by appealing to your aversion. What to remember with these, especially if recurring is that when that task is complete, you aren’t really finished. Revenge is a good example of this.
You will easily identify these by asking yourself sincerely what would happen if you completely ignored the problem. Often it would not be fatal and can then be categorized forever as a hurdle that is meant to fly away, and handled by rehabilitizing your Mind step by step.
This is me trying to switch to Graphene OS. 😭
For me, it was definitely a hard thing I was supposed to work through. There are things that don’t work as well after transitioning to GrapheneOS, but more than anything it’s just helped me use my phone less (which was an ongoing goal of mine). I do most of my banking on my laptop now, which is probably better for my mental health than constantly checking my finances and stressing myself out. Outings are a lot more enjoyable now. I also switched from an unlimited data plan to a plan with 2GB a month, so I just leave my mobile data off unless I really need it.
What issues are you having with GrapheneOS? I’ve installed it on several different devices and it’s been super easy.
I thought since I’m already switching away from Google, I could also move away from Microsoft, but whatever I try, I can’t find a replacement for To Do. We have family accounts with mailbox.org, where we can share task lists/folders, but I can’t get the PWA to send me push notifications. I can import my task folders via DAVx5, but CalDAV doesn’t work with shared folders, so I only get my personal tasks. And this is the same for all tools - either use CalDAV (no shared lists) or a web interface (no notifications). I’ve been running in circles for days and I’m very frustrated by now.
Love how this isn’t funny at all until you realise where it’s posted
