Yes, yes, it’s a new domain. When I realized my purpose a few weeks ago, I had to snag it. The radical self, as most folks know, is a conceptualized form of a person: the best version of a person, and that we all have the capacity to be that most radical self. It’s not…

Update
I wanted to write something today, but I stopped myself. I realized that maybe the point is to not write it down at all. I’m going to be doing some experiments in the next few months. That’s all I’ll say about it. Who knows, maybe this is one of the experiments…
That’s One Way to Get Back on Ativan…
I’m sad. By that, I mean I’m extremely depressed. It’s a feature, I learned, and not necessarily directed by what goes on around me, though manic episodes do trigger hypomanic episodes…and it’s worse depending on how manic the episode was. I stopped drinking alcohol for good back in April of this year, almost a year…
The Perfect Day for a Bad Cold
I have a cold, as the title suggests. It’s an icky one. About a week ago, I started sneezing…a lot. Three days ago, I came down with heavy congestion (not the productive kind) that progressed with my ears being so clogged that everyone sounded like they were in the back of the room or not…
Achievement Tracking
Last Sunday, I made a list of things that I wanted accomplish over the week ahead. I chose items from all seven pillars of self, and crafted a checklist for each day in order to mark completion of each item. For example, I had a goal to drink a gallon of water a day. By…
Who Runs Your Heart? (A Personal Admonishment)
First – this is a very faith-based post. My faith is probably the most personal thing in my life. I love talking around it and sharing what feels good, but faith brings out a part of me that I normally prefer to keep to myself. I don’t like opening the door for people to try…
I Have a Theory About Abandonment Trauma
(freewriting error: i started writing this a few days ago, and just tied it up tonight) So my coach is gone for a week, and I’m keeping myself busy. I’m off today and tomorrow (today is almost over), so I’ve been working on a narrative for a game, doing some deep cleaning, negotiating the removal…
Pre-Bed Student: My Personal Nighttime Routine and Sleep Stack
First, I am not a doctor. These supplements are available over-the-counter in the US, and work very well for me for the reason I am using them. I came up with this combination back in 2010, and I’m certain I’m not unique in this stack – I believe it’s available as a single dose pill…
First Day Done / Self-Regulation Success
Oh, to get a full eight hours of sleep. At night. All together. I have a lot to talk about but nothing urgent, so I’ll just freewrite as I do. I’m home from work. It was a short day. The original intent was to complete all the onboarding and training modules, but as fate may…
Self-Regulation
(cw – light talk of unaliving but not in an “I want to actually do that” sense) As I suspected all day the other day, I was going to end up feeling alone and clingy because of my nighttime thoughts. Don’t worry, I was already ahead of that — I’d taken my melatonin and am…
