Ask yourself Why you are doing the things you do. What do you think your goal is, and where are your actions aiming, really?
Say to yourself, "Why am I doing this, and what do I hope to get out of it?" Is that likely?
Dr. Low talks about examining our actions and behaviours to verify our goals - if I say I want peace, but my action is yelling at others, it points to a goal of something else over enduring peace.

I expected the game to be, what else can we set a too-old-for age limit for?
I was wrong.
Self appointed expectations lead to self induced disappointments and frustrations, as Dr. Abraham Low might say.

I'm going for it, anyway. I suggest a too-old age for creating online accounts. Like when you used to have to be 13 to sign up online? I want everyone over 69 to have to lie about their age to order pizza through a website.

"What is called judgment is mainly the art of distinguishing clearly between simple complications and severe emergencies. A person lacking this discriminating judgment is bound to muddle or even ruin his life through the folly of treating emergencies with routine measures or simple complications with emergency procedures."
from Selections of Dr. Low's Works

One of my favourite #RecoveryInc #RecoveryInternational meetings is tomorrow 11 am Eastern/Ohio time. I'm as likely to sleep through it as join it, but when I do join, I am always glad I did.
RI has helped with my #anxiety , stomach aches, #relationships , ability to cope, & general level of happiness.
You don't have to contact Cathy before joining.

Thank you.
Shout out to #RecoveryInc #RecoveryInternational & Dr. Abraham Low's program of C/DBT, where the T means training. C/DBTherapy gave me great info, but it's like hearing how acrobats fly vs. learning, practicing & succeeding at flight. Still entertained regularly when I read another concept or tool I heard in DBTherapy, in a book written 70 years ago, but better explained with a demonstration of implementing it into daily living.

Dr. Abraham Low teaches us to know and be aware of what we can and can't control. We cannot control outer environment, we can only control inner environment
We also learn FIST, Feelings Impulses Sensations Thoughts. Feelings, Sensations, cannot be stopped by will. They rise & fall & run their course. Impulses can be controlled and Thoughts can be changed (and in that way, controlled)
Outer environment, feelings, & sensations can be influenced

In a group, the members have equal rights. This is called fellowship, which is opposed to sovereignty. Fellowship means service, self-control, & respect for the rights of others. Sovereignty means the opposite - domination, unrestricted power, & disregard for the rights, needs, or wishes of others. Fellowship is the principle of group action. Sovereignty means the principle of individualism. (Mental Health Through Will Training, Abraham A. Low)

I don't know if you know, but supposedly one can follow hashtags. I can't, but I think that's an app specific issue I have.
I'd be happy to talk with you about #RecoveryInc #RecoveryInternational and the books by Dr. Abraham Low. I attend zoom meetings on and off. I've been through #CBT and #DBT and #acceptance therapy (and various uncategorized 'therapy') and they all gave me lots of good info, but nothing helped as over all or long term as #RI

You're welcome! Thanks for being a part of something like an empathy forum. How is empathy not a much bigger thing for people?!Dr. Abraham Low teaches us that we must be group minded over self minded. Not to ignore our needs and wants, but to balance group and self so that group slightly out weighs self. I'll look for a quote later. Anyway, empathy and group mindedness go hand in hand.
