RE: I Love Steemit AND Its Haters & Complainers
Spot on @dragonanarchist.
Not that I support any of the circus show that is mainstream media and U.S. Politics, but Hillary's team should have used a time machine and read your post before allowing her to say some of the things she said this week.
I think it had exactly the effect you described.
"Why did they fire Dr. Drew, what did he say about Hillary?" - so people go look....
"Hillary is bashing Alex Jones, who is he?" - so they looked.
I believe steem and steemit are such a good idea they are here for the long hall. We may encounter some doldrums which is completely normal, but it is so addictive I truly do not care.
It is engaging both hemispheres of my brain. I simply need to learn to control the addictive quality of it, as that part is a bit disruptive to my life. That's my next goal... self control... I need to get some.
I suck at self-control, so I quit trying that, and moved onto self-choreography, wherein I take the most difficult-to-work-with, embedded aspects of my personality that tend to shoot me in the foot, and I figure out the way to work with them, side-step them, dance effortlessly around them.
When you figure out your own psychology, you can try to start adding in your own programming to the programming that's not so easy to remove.
Overtime, the new dance moves sometimes overtake and do away with the old, negative habits of movement, they are drowned out, and a new and more effective dance evolves.
Focus on the old bad habits doesn't often change them, but pointing my focus on flooding my life with new habits that wash out the old ones over time, is precisely what worked for me.
Yep I learned that myself long ago. First step is convincing myself it is a bad habit. I haven't quite confirmed that with steemit. :)
Totally, my thing was victimhood. I felt so comfortable in being the martyr that if I'm not careful I can still slip into that role now, years after I figured out it is a very ineffective way to live.
