guy accidentally cures his own road rage by making fun of the person who caused his road rage

Guy: Yeah I’m, I’m just gonna put this out into the world: I need you to drive, like you got in your car on purpose. Drive like you’ve got somewhere to be, because I do, and I’m behind you! I don’t know how I always get stuck behind the person that’s like. *impression* “That cloud kinda looks like.....looks like a rabbit!”  “I do believe....that meadow is full of daffodils!”

*cracking up* Okay, here’s the problem, is I was mad at that guy, and now that I’m doing an impression of him I kinda think he’s adorable and I like him. I like him now. It’s a very unique way to defuse my own road rage. I don’t know what kind of mental illness I have, but it’s fun.

I've been thinking about this video non-stop for months, but do you know what just occurred to me? This is actually a great example of mindfulness, expression, and self-modulation.

Instead of bottling it or lashing out, he took the time to stop in a quiet place to process an upsetting event. He validated his anger, and stated he felt his needs were going unmet. He then humanized the person who upset him, and considered their intentions. He then found perspective on the event and his own emotions. This then genuinely calmed him down.

Those are all therapy skills being used in real time! Which, like, I don't think people talk about enough. Part of the human experience is getting angry about stupid things. Feelings can't be permanently bottled or unleashed full force on the spot. You need to process it, and take the time to see the bigger picture.

connecting to the mycelium network is actually a very fun and fulfilling experience, so long as you avoid the brutal discourse and occasional nutrition theft

I think I might have played too many city builder games during quarantine. I just tried to rotate the angle of my word document using the middle scroll button to try and get a better look at the plot.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve been gardening so much the thought “The wifi is running slow, maybe the router needs to be watered” occured to me last night.

#crosswired impulses are deeply hilarious to me#i was taking a greek class and a higher math class at the same and i tried to decline some differential equations#which. did not help funnily enough. differential equations are still bad even in the accusative (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)

feelings r like boogie boards. u can try and push em down under the surface but they will always and very instantly come right back up and slam u in the face. i think aristotle said that

one of the most amazing things that has been said to me in therapy is that self esteem doesn’t exist.

and that floored people and the psych went onto say that what she meant was that self esteem is a concept that actually includes a vast array of things and labelling them all as one thing is really limiting and prevents actual improvement

you could have real strong pride in the things you create and hate your body

you could hate your creations but also want to share them with people

you could not hate yourself at all but not take care of yourself, engage in reckless self endangerment

thats all bundled under ‘self esteem’ but saying ‘i need better self esteem’ doesn’t mean anything

whereas if you say ‘i need to work on ways to keeping myself safe, refusing to act on destructive urges’ or ‘i want to be in a place where i believe compliments trusted people give me’

thats concrete, thats a goal.

having it said in therapy helped a lot of people in my group stop saying ‘i have low self esteem’ and start specifying about the actual issue they have

Heard a guy do a pirate song once and yell out jokes like this to the audience during the bridge. The last one:

Singer: “What’s a pirate’s favorite crime?” The audience, primed by now: “Arr-son!” Singer stops playing, stares at us all reproachfully, says: “Piracy.”
