The trick of scam courses is that they get into your head through dozens of hours of free content, instilling all sorts of concepts into your head, then they upsell you on an overpriced course making you think your getting way more value relative to cost. But in reality it's the opposite. Your paying out of the nose for microwave heated self-help of Wikipedia.

Women who wear white socks over their leggings.

See, that's the thing. You probably wouldn't be half as motivated if you didn't have a solid goal. You need to have goals. I bet those who lack clear goals in your group will struggle immensely with relapsing. It's a loser drug for people with no aspirations. I hate weed. Keep that shit locked up.

Flaky in love as they are in life.

Courses are a staple of the grifteconomy. Been there, done that. Save your money. Just do research, especially if your a beginner. Read 5 books relative to your field and 20 hours of online research. There, saved you 1200.

There's an evolutionary bias towards seeing problems. Monkeys who recognized problems lived longer. I prefer viewing my "problems" more like challenges for you to overcome. Video games are insanely successful, much more than movies now, in part because they are really good at framing problems as challenges that can be overcome and beaten, even when they are really hard. In fact, the harder games tend to be quiet popular. It gives you a sense of progress, which is what we're looking for. Video games got movies beat by billions because of this. There will always be another problem for you to solve. You only feel shit when you can't solve them. The key to happiness therefor is progress. Happiness = progress. And if you live in a first world country you don't really have problems. A problem is for example that you can't get out of bed because of chronic illness. Or war. Or rapists run the streets. Your "problems" are probably easy in reality. Frame them as challenges.

Some journaling prompts: How does it make you feel about yourself when you engage in your bad habits? If you could change your habits by 5%, how would you change them? How do you want your life to look like in 5 years? What are your goals? What do you feel deep within you want for your life?

You change your identity by taking different actions. Contemplate in your mind why they're good and your old habits are bad. Set meaningful goals for yourself and track your progress everyday. Delete Youtube app, log out of social media (or just get a dumb phone), cancel your TV or thow it out, stop buying sweets. Willpower is an exhaustable resource, so destroying your habits is the simplest way of stopping them. And if you want to stop doing these things then you don't need them in your house anyway. When you "relapse", mindfully notice that without being hard on yourself. The compulsion is giving something that you want more of in your life. Like for example smokers get socialization and relaxation out of it. Notice what that is and figure out how you can get more of that without indulging your compulsion. You want to reach a point where it's more exciting to live your ideal life than indulge in these things. I used to play too much video games, but now I get bored of it after a short while. Progressing my goals is more exciting and interesting. It's more exciting to me to eat healthy than vedge out on junk because the associations in my head. Once you feel like your not missing out by not indulging in something your basically free of it.

It can initially suck to feel excluded, but if people don't like you why would you want to be friends with them?

If it's limited to just passive aggressiveness, then what does it matter? Just ignore it and focus on your goals. Most of your vent is about your own psychological reaction more than anything else. I recommend reading Taming Your Gremlin for dealing with negative feelings. I recommend treating classmate more as colleagues. Not necessarily trying to be friends with anyone. It's just business. Don't tell anyone anything personal. What happens happens. The rest is history. It doesn't matter if they dislike you as long as you reach your goals. Be mindful if you are radiating neediness. It's stink aura. Makes people dislike you. Also that autism is a social disability. You might doing something annoying and not even realizing.

Teal Swan is all vibes and a bit out of touch with normal. Always has a unique perspective on anything and is quiet knowledgeable about relationships, but tends to be a bit binary. Shit at qualifying her statements and hates when people disagree. Very pretty though <3

Used to sport bald, but not because I was in a toxic relationship with some Mediterranean/Middle-eastern. Just cheap and easy. Factory barbers, as I call them, are decent if your clear about what you want. They take max 15 min, back to back customers. I generally prefer that than having to pretend to be in a relationship with some Turk. I don't even know their name, bro.

Out of embarrasment or shame? It was a genuinely decent haircut.

In the future, insurance will cover new lungs.
