Turning Around A Bad Day
Recently, I had a day that was really rough for me emotionally, so much so it gave me a bad headache. I felt so drained I didn't get done anything I'd planned. I felt worse and worse emotionally as the day went on, and fell in depressive habits of trying to distract myself by scrolling through Facebook until my phone died and trying to self-medicate with sugary junk foods.

Hi folks. First, I just want to thank anyone who read my post from Monday. I appreciate the views, and again, if you would like to leave a comment, I do welcome that. Finding out what the audience thinks of what we post is how we learn to improve. I want to talk to you today about time management. If you’re like me, this is something you’ve probably struggled with at one point or another. I…

All in an effort to live up to a superhuman ideal.
While Blumberg and others may have the right intentions, Silicon Valley’s incessant quest for self actualization is skewed toward an end goal (success, recognition). Any philosopher will tell you that self inquiry is about the journey, an end in and of itself. In fact, failure—contending with perceived disapproval from peers and the dissolution of the ego—is perhaps the best pathway to self actualization. It requires true reliance on one’s core self. Of course, that’s not the message any founder wants to hear.
It’s fairly well known that shadow work is sort of a pain. It’s difficult to work through less-than-ideal parts of yourself or your life. It’s hard to figure out how to heal damage that has been done to you, and it can be challenging to fit such heavy work into what is likely an already jam-packed life schedule. Not to mention that the gods rarely give you a game plan on how to exactly go about performing your shadow work- in so many ways, shadow work is sort of a headache in the making. It’s really no wonder that many of us stall out very quickly on trying to figure the whole shadow work thing out.

Most Pagans I know are pretty nice people. They will drop everything to help a friend in need. They respond to healing requests that are broadcast by acquaintances over social media and participate in activism in a quest to heal the earth and bring justice to the world. We value that watery ideal of compassion and seek to manifest it in the world.
However, there is one place where we often forget to have compassion. In many ways, it’s the most important place our compassion needs to be. Yet, whether it’s from a cultural socialization that tells us that this kind of compassion is selfish, a Maslovian/Eriksonian need to generate good things for others, or just a true desire to help our friends, we often forget one important recipient of our cup of compassion.
We forget ourselves.
Where this healthy self-empathy turns into a malignant self-pity is at the arrival of resentment. "Fuck everybody. Nobody gives a shit about me. Fuck them all." That is self-pity and it is dangerous because it signals a lack of accountability for one's mental state and, worse, the outcome of one's life. Self-pity can last for years. Sometimes, it can last a lifetime.
Augusten Burroughs - This is How
When something doesn't go your way, do you try to use positive thinking, or self-empathy?
