I really like this book - Unfuck Yourself. He starts our talking about the little voice in your head and how this judgmental little guy can really mess you up. I’ve definitely experienced a lot of negative self-talk recently so it really hits home. The narrator has a manly Scottish brogue, which I find trustful. And I do feel like I’m stuck - whatever that means. Hopefully, realizing this will help me get unstuck.

I think the gist of this book is about realizing that you are the answer to whatever your problem is. “Your life is waiting for you to show up.” “Create the kind of reality you want to live in.” It’s motivational. Who knows. Maybe that’s what I’ve needed all along - motivation. Ugh. What a piece of crap I am (negative self-talk). We’ll see. But so far, I like the cut of this guy’s jib and I’m hopeful that his tough love approach will be useful. I do think his message is applicable to my determination not to be a pot smoker or drinker anymore.

Ryan tried to get me to go to some bar for Halloween tonight. I turned him down. I’m so glad I turned him down.
