My plan for feeling good

[roopepa]

I want to feel good. And not just good, amazing. I'm-on-fire kind of good. The-universe-turns-inside-out kind of good.

Here's my plan for the coming years:

- Emotional awareness meditation, emotional scale, dreamboard, expression

- Clean up the diet (no sweets, chips, junk food, wheat, dairy, sugar) and do a heavy metal detox

- Quit nicotine, coffee, alcohol, psych medications

- Go to school to become a social worker, learn the basics of helping others, integrate spirituality, emotional awareness and developmental models into social work to help with addiction, mental health problems, the good life and finding direction in life if lost, and then maybe become a therapist, and maybe even reform the whole fucking social care system because why not

- Doing art, maybe poetry, maybe music

- A little psychedelics if feeling like it

- Deep friendships & deep sex

How's that sound, friends?

@roopepa Sounds really good 

What's your current situation like? Are you feeling good now? Just asking because it's important to be realistic with expectations to prevent disappointment. Trying to have everything at once would very likely just fail and make you miserable

To want means not to have it.

Do not want.

Just feel.

Feel the good and the bad.

Isn't it amazing just to feel? It's a miracle.

@roopepa

Obviously resonates quite a bit. Tight plan imo.  I’d add singing, as you wont get too far without it. I’d change the intention & context a bit too. Everything you listed is made possible by feeling good / good feeling, by being goodness, which is to say simply being yourself. Good feeling has never come from a secondary source, and never will. Imo the change in context would be the aim to live the fullest life possible, unattached to outcomes, unidentified with what’s happening.  Enjoy the beauty and wonder of the journey, without contingencies. Experience for the sake of experience, not what is produced or procured.

Yeah my post was kind of poorly presented. I'm feeling quite good. Better day by day.

Failing is not a problem, as the whole point is to feel good and doing what feels good. So what would be the point of feeling like shit if I "fail"? 

This was mostly just me visioning a future that excites me. I'm not taking it too seriously.

Been tipping my toes into directly experiencing. Every day a bit more
