OKAY I NEED TO ERASE SOME CRAP THAT I WROTE PREVIOUSLY WHICH I COULDN'T FOLLOW.
Now, i'm going to do all the revision things when i please. I have also decided not to label the IHC teachers as scum. Even though the last ihc test WAS a farce, i have decided to assume it isn't so the next time.
Three steps to improving your life!
1) Stop worrying. When you worry about something, think of the worst that could happen. Assume the worst WILL happen, and then work towards reducing the severity of the worst scenario. See! No more time wasted on worrying in circles! Instead, you spend all that time working towards reducing the worst case scenario!
Can you think of yourself riding a bicycle and riding an elephant at the same time? No, you can switch between the two in extra quick time, or superimpose the image of the elephant onto the image of you riding a bike, but you still cannot imagine a singular self riding a bicycle and riding an elephant at the same time. What this means is that you cannot truly hold two thoughts in your mind at the same time. When you are low on confidence, you worry about whether you'd be able to score the goal. When you kick the ball, instead of focussing on kicking it, your mind is worrying about what will happen if you miss. And that's why confidence is everything. But if you lack it, one thing you can do is tell yourself to stop worrying!
2) I was previously worried about how some concepts appealed to me, but there were accounts of skeptics disproving it. Finally, i realised that i ought to be skeptic about the skeptic's account too! Since they were skeptic about it, they would look at things that opposed it, rather than an "objective" viewpoint. Or, their accounts of claiming that so and so is bullshit, are bullshit too!
My answer to this is to decide yourself what you want to believe and stop worrying about what if you believe to be true, isn't true. Apply common sense and your own principles too though. It's stupid to believe you can actually "attract" something in your life simply because you "think" of it. Your thoughts will lead to action if you take them, and i believe the action gives rise to the attraction. It is natural that these worries will cloud your mind from time to time, but if you keep pushing them aside, they will slowly crumble and dissolve.
3) A safe life is no fun. A fun life is a safer choice.
