Psychoanalyzing Myself

Starting A New Journal

I've been wanting to start a new journal for several reasons. Firstly, this journal is getting too long and I feel like I need to move for organizational purposes. I want to also have a table of contents section as I did with my previous journal titled "The Joy Journal" prior to closing that journal out. Secondly, I have been journaling in this journal for more than 3 years and I think I have changed a lot as a person to where I want a space where I can start fresh in. And what better time to do that than around New Years. I have been experiencing this degree of healthy cringe towards my older posts, think like back to 2021/2022 since I was in a different place in my life on many levels from cognitively, emotionally, as well as in my life circumstances.

Part of me wishes I could scrub my activity on this website clean so I can start anew since a lot of my posts don't reflect who I am right now. But I'm not going to do that. They still represent my authenticity and what I stand for even though I am more private about a lot of things in my life now and present myself differently vs my posts pre 2023. Instead, I think  having a new journal as a demarcation will be sufficient :)

Hey @RendHeaven, it's good to hear from you. I hope you're doing well :) 

Likewise!

Who is the certain role model btw?

Daniel Schmachtenberger. Probably the only man on this planet right now who makes me think "I wish I were him"

I think we're in a very weird ego backlash as a culture where the language of progressiveism is being used to market regressive ideas. 

Unfortunately yes. Humanity cannot afford to developmentally backslide for too much longer before irreversible damage to the collective ecosystem is done (biosphere and social institutions alike).

1. Vaush 

Vaush is solid if you can avoid getting sucked into his biases.

I recommend adding Johnny Harris and Daniel Schmachtenberger to your 2025 media intake : )

Sorry for the late ish response. I took some time to watch some of their content. They seem pretty solid. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Yeah.. I do think that this is urgent and a problem. I don't mean to minimize that but I think as a collective we have come back from larger back slides and I do have faith for the future in the long run. But short term, it's gonna get worse and a lot messier before it gets better.
