New, much needed flair... "Mental/Physical Health"
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
IDK about you guys, but there are times where i focus way too much on things I cannot control and start losing track of my mental and physical wellbeing. (mental and physical wellbeing is what the flair was supposed to be called but it was too many characters).
Either way, we all need to learn to balance our zen through all this madness going on today. A mentally and physically healthy soldier is a productive soldier. I myself am no master at this. I really hope we here start helping out each other to better each others non digital life. This [flair] is the least i can do.
Stoicism is very helpful for dealing with things outside your control. As Epictetus once said, how long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?
I have a friend who has religiously played world of warcraft now for 14-15 years... they dont do anything else. I think they kinda assume that eventually they wont play it anymore, and their life will magically come together...
I basically ask him that question often. I basically say, "What exactly do you see yourself doing 10 years from now? Do you expect to still be playing world of warcraft?"
His answer is no, but 10 years from now he will still be playing it. Hedonism is horribly destructive.
yeah... I'm in that boat to be honest. It was going better in 2018, was playing a lot less video games but that's because I was finally developing a real social circle, fixing up my family. then lockdown smash everything and i'm back in those old habits. My family disowned me for not jabbing myself and 95% of my friends stopped speaking to me. as much as video game is a huge cope, it did gave me people to talk to (discord) for the past 2 years.
