  • Sounds like you got a hyperactive inner monologue going on, and in this world I don’t blame you.

    We defs can be our most vicious critic.

    Something to consider: Instead of ‘I’m a bad person then I’m good, then bad’, try reframing it as ‘I am a person who has at times done good and bad’, and then see if you are the kind of person who wants to do less bad.

    If that’s the case, boom, there’s already the push to self-improve, that’s a worthiness that not everyone has.

    I know it doesn’t work for everyone though I found meditation helped me deal with my own inner critic, and toned him down enough now that he’s more of an annoying helper.

    Humans are complex, when we try and narrow them down to simple categories like ‘good’ and ‘bad’ some nuance is always lost. Some things you have felt were bad actions may have had good ripple effects you never expected, and the good you do can often come back to trouble you.

    Instead of judging your value by your past actions, recognize that you can change and judge yourself by all the steps you take from that point on, and make the sincere effort to become better at what you value.

    Never compare yourself to others, but always to how far you have grown from your past you.









  • You’d be surprised how good the human body is at dissipating heat. We spent a good chunk of our evolution being savanna dwellers

    Most overheating comes from dehydration causing surface capillaries to contract limiting how much heat the body can expel, drinking a small amount of hot liquid will not raise the core to dangerous levels but it will provide hydration and the signal to the capillaries to expand allowing more heat to be radiated out

    Cold water does the opposite, closing the capillaries as the body thinks it needs to retain heat as now the core is rapidly cooling.
