latest sketch summary of @introspectVV:
here's a 10-minute attempt to summarize my 300 page book @introspectVV into ~500 words. didn't precisely meet the brief of "in one breath" but i'll try again multiple times
the discipline it takes to go to the gym 4x a week, run a company, grind away at your craft... don't get me wrong, it's impressive, but it's not the most impressive thing to me it's all too easy for that discipline to be fuelled by self-hatred and fear. it's all too easy for…
@visakanv: “If there’s something you’ve been wanting to change about your life (eg: “fix my sleep”), and you’ve spent maybe 10+ years making failed attempts at it despite having done the reading, etc – the problem is probably upstream.” 🎯 🎯 🎯
The opposite of procrastination is not discipline or initiative: it’s awareness. When we procrastinate we are generally trying to numb our awareness of the task to be done. Or block it out with stimulation. The most actionable way to get out of that tangle is not to hector…
Your subconscious fuels procrastination with toxic beliefs. Overwrite them with “I act now” to spark relentless momentum that shatters delays overnight.

"when I become who I'm supposed to be, then I'll finally be treated the way I want to be treated" this kind of belief is super common, but seems to be especially common among people who didn't get what they needed in childhood when you were a kid, if you craved more belonging,…
i genuinely think about and quote this James Baldwin quote almost every day
if you love with warmth like a steady candle you can illuminate those that are like unpolished mirrors while they slowly start to brighten and reflect that light back onto you
Ray Bradbury; maturity is a process of learning to embrace the passions that were bullied out of us
courage is such a great thing because it compounds. exercising courage gives you the courage to be courageous again, and so on.
avoidance is such a nasty thing because it’s a runaway reaction. you avoid the thing and then you avoid the shame of the avoidance, and the shame at the shame at the avoidance, and so on
my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.
when you're leaving the family system dynamic, you don't have to announce it. you just have to leave
you don’t have to prove to the authority they were wrong and then get them to admit it they rarely if ever do
The relatable spirituality of Deadly Depressed Corn Kernel this isn't about you buying a bill of goods, it's about understanding the absurdity of the corn kernel via @introspectVV
Overthinking is misnamed. If you actually sat down to write all the thoughts you've had about the thing you're "overthinking", you likely would not clear one page.
My healing process: 1. Ignore until can no longer ignore 2. Feeling suffocated by it, like I can't believe its happening omg 3. Some type of real-world chaotic result that proves it's gone too far and it's time to really get in the ring with the damn thing. But surviving the…
ritualized, compulsive self-disclosure is not intimacy it’s often a defense mechanism, one that masquerades as vulnerability but actually kills erotic charge, polarity, and mystery shared experience, unspoken tension, and real-time attunement are the components of intimacy
Yesterday, @tferriss shared an incredible essay by the great David Whyte about anxiety. I've read it multiple times—each read planting a sucker punch that feels like a hug (I know it's an oxymoron, but that's genuinely how it feels). Anxiety has become commonplace in daily…
mental health advice is like: >guy stuck in a labyrinth >hears the only way out is to climb >spends years looking for ladders >eventually realizes he can just climb up the walls >says to the next guy “don’t waste time looking for ladders” >next guy never thinks to try climbing
