...I try to live my life by - [ERT: 5 min.] --- I recently saw a fellow writer casually stating his guiding principles, and I’ve thought long and hard about what my own guiding principles might include. I finally came up with the following.
Good stuff, thank you! I was happiest when I owned and ran a 83ac sheep and vegetable 1841 farm in the Finger Lakes of Western NYS. Sadly, I was chased my whole life by horrible anxiety and used marijuana, alcohol, and benzos to struggle to control it. Cost me friends, spouses, and jobs, as well as that farm. Only now, sober 13yrs and 79yo, have I come to reali9ze that I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor and lived with emotionally unsupportive abandoning narcissistic parents. My Better Angels have finally revealed the truth of my life and I have written a well received book, "Stress R Us", which I am able to give away as a free PDF (thanks to the good folks out at Stanford) or amazon print on demand PB ($25. +). The title makes it obvious what the central focus is, so I'd add stress management to your otherwise excellent advice list. Thanks for your work! Gregg Miklashek, MD
