Belgic Confession Article 24: The Sanctification of Sinners

Y'all need more of this in your life.

Do you think that you can think your way out of dysfunctional thinking (anxiety/depressive thought disorders et. al)? ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ญ

Many people do. โŒ

If your thinker is what's broken, thinking it through or even speaking out your thoughts out to a good listener alone won't be enough.

Despite popular expectations, your typical therapist who primarily validates and affirms as treatment methods is simply parasitic. They are reinforcing behaviours and thought patterns that produce misery. This approach is lucrative and makes customers for life, but it is sick and hateful. Coming from a therapy insider, if you sincerely want to see positive change in your mental health you need to:

โ€ข Observe your thoughts as process and assess them flexibly by their helpfulness. Cling to the thoughts that help. Dismiss the merit of, but accept the presence of unhelpful thoughts. You cant change thoughts by wrestling with them. You will probably just amplify them by struggling.

โ€ข Get out and action behaviours that improve your mood such as getting sunlight, seeing loved ones, lifting weights, kissing your wife, doing what matters. Discover what matters to you, and make daily time for that stuff.

โ€ข Eat better and master yourself. Get to bed and wake up responsibly; do something meaningful with your life. Stop wasting the day away. Life is short, make it count. ๐Ÿค™

Don't dismiss the legitimate use of a thing simply because it's commonly misused.

Friends don't let friends keep their Bitcoin on exchanges

I for one want to thank the US Government for their selfless act of selling their Bitcoin for the rest of us to buy, especially as the remaining supply dwindles by the day. #Heroism ๐Ÿซก

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Given its size, quality, and cultural significance I think it would go for at least 2 Bitcoin if sold right now

If Greenpeace's skull of Satoshi were up for art auction, what would be the going price denominated in Bitcoin?

But more Bitcoin, or hold enough fiat in reserve to handle emergencies...
