Great podcast. Many of the quotes and phrases today were familiar. Some from CR, AA, or from books I have read. When I was an instructor of Cosmetology, we were surrounded by mirrors. The students had different responses to their reflection. Some primped and preened, others used it to watch those around them, and some would not look at the mirror at all. I gave the students an exercise I had read about in one of my books. Stop what you are doing and look in the mirror ( as I demonstrated) say "I love you Vicky" only use your name. Some could not do it with out tears, some felt really weird, a few were overly dramatic. After the exercise, I gave the instruction to love themselves, affirm themselves, to treat themselves with kindness at all times.

I can identify with the religiosity and disappointment due to the lack of empathy among the Evangelicals. The merging of politics with the Christians is a toxic blend. I am inspired by your thoughtful questions and loving observations. Authenticity and self love is a full time effort. At this point I have experienced many changes in my thoughts, beliefs, and boundaries. I continue to seek balance, so as not to become unhinged. Planning my nature walk in the next few weeks.

I heard a quote at a 'meeting'. Comparing yourself to others is guaranteed disappointment. I wasted many years of my life creating disappointment.

Great sharing! Loving the 'rassler' references. I appreciate your sharing of disliking politics and religion. I am still stuck in the addiction to discord. However I do my best to find commonality and acceptance with people. I think it is the battle of a mindset of superiority or inferiority. An oppression of those that are considered inferior and an idolisation (sp) of those considered superior. The mere idea of 'equal to'' is somehow unacceptable and rare.

I am gaining much wisdom from your teaching. The day I quit learning is the day I start dying. Taking notes. Much gratitude.

Thank you for sharing your story of your struggles and victories. Live until you die is phrase I used for years although from a different point of view. I took care of both my parents until they died. Dad, a disabled Vet and alcoholic took his own life after a year of extreme health issues. Mom struggled with a slow disease of COPD culminating in Hospice care at home. My reference to LUYD is about not having to depend on my children to take care of me during illness, doctors, hospitals, recoveries, treatments, crisis, etc. Like the song says, the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep. I will look upon this phrase from a different perspective now. No matter the conditions, there is hope for enjoying one moment at a time.

Additionally DDP has a page called Team DDP YOGA. I joined It with an email and password. Click on New Members. There is a video of 'LivingvLife At 90%' . DDP testimony about his successes. He tells bout it in the book also.

Ironically I picked up my journal YESTERDAY. My last entry was 3/18/2020. I wrote: ( "I am claiming In-dependence on the creator if the Universe, I am claiming freedom from the bondage of self sabotage, self defeatism, self deprivation, self hate, & self loathing. I am claiming self love, self approval, & self acceptance. Lord you made me, I must stop destroying your creation in mind, body, & spirit. Let that spirit of love and kindness flow in & through me in action, speech, and thought.") I'd also gotten out the last book I had been reading in January of 2020. 'Positively Unstoppable' The Art Of Owning It by ~~Diamond Dallas Page. Weird.

I learned that procrastination and perfectionism are 2 sides of the same coin. "If I can't do the assignment perfectly, then I won't do it." A friend told me about being a student in a well known military school. He procrastinated till the last day to study for his exams. It was so overwhelming, he decided to organize his sock drawer instead, because that could be perfect. I struggle with being on time. I become sidetracked by the perfectionism of getting dressed perfectly (OCD?) and have to rush rush rush. I believe this is how I utilize my chemical pharmacy of the brain to get that excitement 'hit' of adrenalin. I am right on the minute. In other jobs I tended to be 5 to 10 minutes late. I consider being on time an improvement.

Thanks for sharing your story. I spent some time in the Jackson area during 2019 to help a friend who struggles with addiction and mental illness. I took note of several programs in that area that were of benefit to the down trodden. I was impressed with The Scarlet Rope Project as it provided so much recovery and help to the recipients. I went to a Thrift Store that benefited a woman's rehab facility. I had seen a TV program that highlighted the Community Cafe that provided meals for work. A lot more resources in Jackson than in Austin. There is a a 27 acre area in Austin that helps people in their recovery from homelessness, addictions and mental health troubles. It is called Community First Village. Sponsored by Mobile Loaves and Fishes. I think advocacy is a starting point. My friend did better while I was visiting because of encouragement and positive reinforcement. Transportation is big issue as well. I was able to provide transportation to doctor appointments, recovery meetings, and family visits. I think the main contributor to a majority of these struggles is TRAUMA. Starting in childhood specifically, the PTSD that begins in the family home. Alcoholism, mental health issues, physical, mental, sexual, verbal abuse are the weapons inflicted upon children during their formative years till they are 18. Many times when children are removed and placed into Foster care, it becomes worse. More TRAUMA. The rates of abused children that become employed in the sex industry is over whelming. Especially those that age out at 18 with no support, they become easy prey for the predatory. I quit going to Sunday Morning Church because I was mortified by the Christians there. The attitudes politically, attitudes towards the homeless, the addict/alcoholic, the foreigners, undocumented workers, LGBTQ, and any one who was different was excluded and nearly always vilified . It starts with me. I can take my tithe and donate it Scarlet Rope, the guy sitting on the bench or standing on the corner instead of getting new carpet for the sanctuary in a church building.

Missed you dale was thinking about where you’ve been a couple of days ago

I am digging the hat as well.

Thank you for sharing. I share my passion for living with aliteration. Using a word for day for how "I AM". Mondays I'm marvelous, Tuesdays terrific, Wednesdays wonderful, Thursdays thrilled to be here, Friday's fabulous, Saturday's splendid, Sunday's spectacular. Folks are influenced and interested when the words have power. 'Good' & 'Fine' just don't cut it.

I definitely believe the vaccine works, I just wish that damn needle wasn't so long. Yikes, that's the only thing I'm afraid of.

I think the vaccine is a huge privilege. We are so lucky to have it. It’s a shame some people think it’s part of some conspiracy, I have to assume they are missing something in their lives that makes them suspicious, nervous and angry.

Thanks Dale I love the way you put things.

"going off the deep end" is the most sane thing we can do 😁
