Extreme arrogance

So with my meds I’m currently on, I still believe many things that I believed before

However, some things I no longer believe as I recognize how extremely arrogant those beliefs were.

For instance I was allowed to join in on the black belt class when I used to take martial arts. But I’m no black belt. I thought it meant I was doing well but I wasn’t. I was just being given more opportunity to learn.

I’m embarrassed by what I believed. I’m just an overweight insecure middle aged woman. Nothing more.

I don’t think anyone should think too harshly of themselves for what they believed in the middle of psychosis. I mean delusions are almost always self centered. Its just the way it works.

That sucks @everhopeful . It’s very sobering to realize the truth sometimes.

@SzSupportAdmin I logically know I shouldn’t be embarrassed by what I believed but I still feel embarrassed and ashamed anyway.

Thanks @POET . That’s so kind of you to say. I think you’re right that I’m a bit down today. But I’ll be super busy at work today so I will be able to get my mind focused elsewhere which is good.

I was going to a beginners Aikido classes and I was progressing well, I didn’t do anything wrong but I had to stop going because my anxiety overcame me :frowning: I really loved doing it and practicing but I regret having to stop due to anxiety :frowning: I really loved the class,

These days my back is sore and all I want to do is cycle or swim, tbh, the worst memories I have were when I was young and stupid & making an utter fool of myself on alcohol :frowning:

I think everyone has their burdens to bare.

You are a good person x

Thanks @Daydreamer . I’m sorry you can’t do aikido anymore. I have dizzy spells so I can’t do it either anymore. I loved it when I did it though

Interesting. What does that entail?

Well I made it up but Im Just bringing up situations that brought out feelings of humility and focusing on that energy.

Im also bringing up causes to be humble that make logical sense l.

The teacher I follow says when you do mindfulness meditation you learn how to be mindful. Eventually you can connect with that energy at anytime. I figure humility is more about perspective but that energy might still be able to be brought up with I need it.

Basically.if u do something everyday for a long time it effects how you think and what you think about…

Its a experiment..so idk yet

To understand your place in the world is to be humble I think
