PacificRimJobTherapy is good and you should do it no matter how tough you think you are.

Yeah maybe, but a lot of people that could really use it don't have health insurance and if they did it doesn't cover that. It's getting better but it's still pretty fucked. I think it's less a pride thing for a lot of people and more that they can't afford it. America

There is still definitely a pride factor involved - especially amongst dudes raised in places and by people where "boys dont cry"

Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. Don't become a person who finds gratification in being miserable all the time. Don't make depression and being sad part of your personality. Your misery radiates out from you and blights everything it touches, everybody can see it. Nobody wants to be around people like that.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, create tangible goals that will improve your life. Could be as simple as cleaning your room, or going outside for a walk.

Go outside of your comfort zone.

Start conversations with random people.

Connections are more or less the be all end all

Have goals for things. Even if small goals. Accomplishing even small things makes the brain feel good.

Mowing lawns and blowing leaves is nice.

jompcockDon't overshare. Sharing big picture goals is fine but be careful who you tell what you got brewing.

This.

I think a lot of what we do, whether we want to admit it or not, we do for some sort of praise or confirmation from other people.

If you tell people about something before you've started to do it, and they say "good job!" you've already sort of gotten the reward that most people look for and are less motivated.

It feels much better to accomplish something sick, silently, and have someone notice on their own and compliment you, rather than you just telling them you are going to do something and they compliment you on having that goal.

Being strong is good, but everyone needs an outlet, preferably an unbiased professional one but it can be other things. You let that shit sit to long and it becomes sour

The older you get, the harder it is to trust a fart.

Also slow is smooth and smooth is fast. I learned that from a fire chief in EMT school.

It makes sense in a way that you're not scrambling to get something done, rather you just take a deep breath and think for a few seconds on how to approach the situation instead of running into it gung-ho. Its worth its weight in gold when it comes to patient care and assessments tbh

Something I'd tell myself 5 year ago is that the ski resort hospitality industry sucks but also don't work for deer valley because they don't like skibums at all. Like at all. Anything remotely freeride/freeski is looked down upon.

People will talk shit if you do something and talk shit if you don’t do something. People are going to talk shit regardless and will project their own feelings and insecurities onto your life and decisions.

With that being said - take that risk. Do what you want. Go out and fail. At least you learned. We’ll all be on our deathbed one day and I guarantee you won’t be thinking about what X,Y or Z said. You’ll be regretting that you even cared about what they said in the first place and how you let that affect your decisions.

Comparing yourself to others is an act of violence against your authentic self. Fuck what other people think. Do what makes you happy.

Also wash your asscrack and balls when you shower. Everytime. You might think they dont smell, but they do. And your partner will appreciate it.

In skiing and in life you should try just about anything that comes to your head. Even if you aren't sure you can do something, you got the idea to try it for a reason and sometimes you'll surprise yourself. Whether this is landing a new trick, or getting with a girl you liked.
