What is your biggest challenge/frustration in personal development?

[AleksM]

I think it would be really insightful to see which challenges/frustrations people are facing here.

Mine is staying consistent with my morning routine. What about you?

Executive functioning skills are what I am looking into correcting right now and is my biggest obstacle.

Integrating everything I learn. It’s so easy to have all the nice feelings and exist purely in the moment when things are going well. But when external reality decides it’s time to fuck you 5 different ways all at the same time that’s where the real test is.

Perfectionism

Procrastination

not getting enough time to do self help

Getting smacked in the face by the reality of wage slavery.

Letting go of life.

[Proserpina]

Everything working against me, to try to harden my heart.

Emotional turbulence. When I know what needs to be done, my mind flips between excitement + drive, and fear. When fearing, it'll generate a million excuses not to do said thing

[Jacob Morres]

Honestly another one is not following my bliss. Self improvement is counterintuitvely a crux for me

anxiety and fatigue

One word.

FEAR

I would give absolutely anything to have my amygdala removed or permanently deactivated. I am far beyond sick and tired of being crippled by False Evidence Appearing Real.

I suppose you can look at any issue through multiple frames.  

But the dominant frames I've used are probably...

• Mental health/trauma leading to emotional turmoil, leading to not feeling settled and secure in a place long-term (including forming long-term relationships), leading to not developing mastery in stuff and getting solid momentum towards building a solid life.

No free will

[LloydRidges]

Having a ton of perceptual blind spots and therefore not being aware if I am being dishonest with myself.

Boredom.
