Fuck The Mental Crosstalk – Decisions

Thank god, I harness logic, negative mental feedback, and the desire to be an elite physical specimen among my fellow humans.

What This post is really about is decisions.

Clear Decisions.

You are going to read this next bit very carefully, because it’s going to be the best anti-depressant/anxiety that you’ll ever take.

You have to LIMIT conflicting input/output in your brain

What does that mean?

In order to give your mind the ability to truly fuck off and take a rest (besides taking drugs), you have to clear the traffic jam in your mind.  The Traffic Jam is the conflicting thoughts you have on every decision you make. The second guessing, The “But What If’s” statements, the fact that you’ll never just make a fuckin’ decision and stand behind it with your whole mind and body, not with just a part of you.

“Should I Go Or Should I Stay?  One Thought Says Go, The Other Says No Way!  But I Must Proceed, So I Will Go Ahead With My Gut Decision, Timidly and With No Conviction.

Conflicting input/output mental traffic is causing car crashes in your mind’s highway.

As soon as you get traffic corrected, get everything simple and steady, choose which side of the highway is going north, which way of the highway is going south, and once you’ve chosen stick to it, it’s not changing.  Your Decision Stands Until Proven Otherwise.

Traffic is going to be clear and there be no more crashes.

WHEN YOU MAKE A DECISION YOU HAVE TO BE ALL IN

Fuck the mental crosstalk.

Trust your gut feeling,

it might be wrong but goddamit you’re going to put every bit of mental energy you have into proving that wrong.

You can argue with yourself all day about whether you should or whether you should not,

That’s Fine Do That, Take All The Time You Need

BUT ONCE YOU MAKE THAT DECISION YOU ARE ALL IN, there is no more debate just confidence that you are making a decision based on what your intelligence has come to view most likely, you cannot short circuit that intelligence by still doubting and debating your decision as you dive in.

Make Up Your Mind, Be Confident In Your Decisions.

That’s It.

Just Make Sure You “Made Your Mind” Past Tense.

Decision Making and Then Carrying Out that Decision Are Two Entirely Different Processes Appropriate Only For Entirely Different Times
