seeking external validation of one’s emotions
excessive reliance on external validation can lead to an unhealthy dependence on others for emotional well-being -- Brave AI.
Behaviors
burning witches at the stake
Church leaders oversaw the burning of witches. Historians estimate that around 50,000 people were executed as witches during the 15th to 18th century. However, this practice was not adopted in colonial America, including during the Salem Witch Trials (they were hanged) -- Brave AI.
shunning
Priority request: social control mechanism used most commonly in small tight-knit social groups to punish those who violate the most serious group rules. It is related to exile and banishment, although shunning is based on social rather than physical isolation or separation -- britannica.
self-injury / self-harm
Request: involves self-inflicted, non-suicidal bodily harm that is severe enough to either cause tissue damage or to leave marks that last several hours. Cutting is the most common form -- verywellmind.com.
office jobs: standing vs. sitting
Priority request: Standing desks were advertised a lot years ago as a healthy alternative for office workers. New studies suggest there's no actual difference and no real health benefits to standing vs sitting. I was wondering what calibration says.
relax and let God handle it
Request: This seems to be a powerful posture of surrender that ultimately gives over responsibility to God which allows one to finally let go and relax. It is in God's hands so you can relax in that certainty.
placing political signs in yard
Request: Trump/Vance, Harris/Waltz etc. Seems to be rooted in pride and likely not effective in persuading people to vote a certain way. Curious if it’s worth doing or better avoided.
telling the truth while knowing that you'll be hated for it
Request: Is it wise to tell the truth when it's obvious that it will lead to hostile reaction? Or should one read the room and stay quite until it is safe enough?
doing something while knowing that it is below 200
Request: Not as a spiritual practice. In other worlds, not ignorance, but knowing and doing it anyway.
running from yourself
Request: I wonder, how many actions are just an escape mechanisms from person’s inner world?
taking everyday content as a spiritual sign
Finding a life message in traffic signs, warning labels, billboards, search engine prompts, autocorrect, etc.
"God won't give me what I want"
Request: What is the source of this feeling? It's like a frustration or blaming God for negative things that happened in the past...
making a mountain out of a molehill
over-reactive, histrionic behaviour where a person makes too much of a minor issue -- wikipedia.
playing Gregorian chants in one’s home most of the day
Priority request: As a repellent to onis [lower astrals] as well as an attractor field to align oneself with.
parentification
"Parentification or parent–child role reversal is the process of role reversal whereby a child or adolescent is obliged to support the family system in ways that are developmentally inappropriate and overly burdensome" -- wikipedia.
