Michael Montoure’s web log, Bloodletters has published a reasonably ‘how-to’ on hacking yourself. Hack yourself -- you can be happy. You can live the life you want to live. You can become the person you want to be; is an aggravated look at the self character and conscious being that many of us put forth. This is well worth an evaluation, especially with the New Year ahead of you.
“I apologize for spamming you all with this. This is something that's been churning around my head for a while now, and I needed to write it.”
Here is an example of one topic from Hack yourself.
You don't exist.
You just think you do.
We're nothing but the stories we tell ourselves. We know in our hearts what kind of people we are, what we're capable of, because we've told ourselves what kind of people we are. You're a carefully-rehearsed list of weaknesses and strengths you've told yourself you have.
(Self-confidence, for example, is a particularly nebulous quality you can easily talk yourself out of having.)
You owe no allegiance to that self-image if it harms you. If you don't like the story your life has become — tell yourself a better one.
Think about the person you want to be and do what that person would do. Act the way that person would act.
