It’s natural to have vices.
Life without opened minds and explored boundaries keeps us going through the motions. It’s not natural when they become our identity, interfere with life and become our crutches.
Set boundaries.
I make it a habit not get wrecked alone. Being ‘brilliant’ by ourselves, with no reality check, is easy to get lost within ourselves. People who do are kind of weird.
Have an objective to ground you.
I try to be mindful of the experience I want, and what I’m getting out of it. Sometimes it’s as simple pure enjoyment… Letting loose… Creativity… Sometimes it’s for my mental health.
Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride
