Sign up to get updates about my book coming out in early 2022 https://bit.ly/3GWd1EHI'm definitely feeling more blocked as the days go on. I think it's a good idea to get out of the house. I feel this discontent, like just living in a room in a basement suite. And waiting for some kind of security isn't good enough. And yesterday, I watched a TED talk by Tim Ferriss called why it's important to map your fears or something about fear setting. Why fear setting is more important than goal setting. And I recommend that for sure. And I'll probably listen to it again, and attempt to map some of my fears, because there's definitely some fear preventing action right now. And after watching that, I felt like inaction is more costly than action, even if there is some fear there. So I think I'm just going to start some kind of business even though I don't know what I'm doing. Because the cost of that would just be perhaps, the waste of money involved in the process of setting it up, which isn't that much, I don't think. And I could learn a lot along the way. And I also made a playlist today called Omni polar consciousness. And I think I'll add videos there that I watch and that I feel like are good to watch again, for myself or maybe for other people, because a lot of people say some really good stuff. So why repeat what they say obviously wouldn't repeat what they say I might extrapolate a little bit on what they say. But I don't want to do too much of that because I also came across a website called daily stoic, calm. And I came across this website because Tim Ferriss talked about stoicism. And I know the word stoic, but I'd never really heard of stoicism so I looked it up. And it's interesting, because it says that it's more about action than words. So to me, it's a sign that I need to get more with action than with all these words. And I think I'll still say words, but there needs to be action. So forget about all the words that I'm typing up for later. And just say words, but related to the actions I'm doing now, what I'm saying is, I created too many words to actually catch up with it.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bipolar_inquiry.
