Months ago I started working really hard at disarming the trigger of hearing the accent/dialect of my father. 50 uurs later of watching dutch and flemish tv I can listen to what ever I want without any neg feelings ( mortal dread ) arising.
So now I have started watching the movie philosophy of art channel I really wanted to and it's goed.
It's so hard to disarm the ghosts in our heads but it's worth it. 🌞 I could have just thought to myself; I don't like this movie channel, I don't like this guy; that would have been easy. But I knew that was rubbish, I did like it and he was a smart nice guy worth listening to , so I made the effort. I also didn't want my father to succeed. How dare he mess me up like that. It's my life. :)
( I also watched all the movies talked about, most I had already seen ) so I at least had a reference point. 👍
keep my focus on the end goal, for me it was watching the movie channel. It is important to me.
try to immerse myself in other aspects of the situation than what triggers me
in this case the trigger was the accent and dialect, so while still hearing in the background I concentrated on the story and the visuals
slowly increase my attention to the trigger, I suppose you could call it desensitisation
in the past while overcoming triggers I would allow myself to literally run or stop an activity, but only ONCE, that was the deal I made with myself, thereafter I had to be brave and face my trigger
Chapter 498 of the weird things the kids do nowadays that I just can't conceive of doing back when I was their age. Bunch of kids on the tram kicking heads of broccoli around. At least 3 of them (broccoli heads that is, kids were more like a dozen or so). And marking them when they went airborne. BrocSoccer? Brocfooty? This seems perverted to me.
I can come at wine cask liner football (have played that myself back when I was flexible), but random violence to vegetables is a new one to me. Shakes fist at clouds.

A bit like our fluffy cat.
Demands for brocolli. Proceeds to protect it with his life, hissing at anyone who comes near it, and kicking it around for a bit, then abandons it after 15 minutes.
Aldi sells them year-round. Seems to be a limited amount of them so they often sell out. Which is good - you can have them every month, but probably not every week.
There'll be a lot of disappointed anacondas after Sunday. I actually haven't had a single HCB this year yet. I should make the effort to get my hands on some high quality buns before the weekend.
Going into the office in the morning to demo some new tech to one of our executives. Should be done in 30 minutes then I can jump on a tram and head home. 5 meetings over 2 days until the long weekend and I still have no idea where I'll go. Leaving it so late is likely going to limit my options somewhat.
Why am I procrastinating going to sleep? Sleep is great. Ok bye bye.
I wrapped up a little doggy bag for my kid last night. This morning when she opened it she really appreciated the 5 chips, hot dog and 2 hot dog skins I left her. 😂
If I was to watch a scary movie like a shit my pants kind what should I watch? I want one that I don't need to think too hard about the storyline and doesn't involve sci-fi.
The Descent (2005)
Signs (2002) (not sci fi, if you take the demon theory to be true lol)
The Ritual (2017)
Hereditary (2018)
The Wailing (2016)
It Follows (2014)
The Autopsy Of Jane Doe (2016)
Train to Busan (2016)
by sci-fi do you mean computers/technology/spaceships or are you including anything supernatural?
I walked out of the cinema within 10 minutes of the start of The Ring when it came out. I don't generally do scary movies and I was literally the only one in the cinema so I just noped out of there.
Yeah like aliens and shit and time travelling crap. I'm looking for something that will sound cool on the big speakers. I've watched bits of Venom and that was OK only because there was funny bits in it. Looking for something like Amityville horror or Misery but like this century.
I watched that when it came out. All I remember is the guy putting his feet into the slippers and that's the reason I still check my shoes to this day.
Today my sense of taste and smell has decided to vanish, which is odd. I thought now would've actually been when I start getting better, but I guess not.
Auspost still don't know what they did with my delivery
My feet are cold no matter how many socks I put on and everything else is hot
Considering I can't make up my mind on where I'd like to go this weekend, I think I might just save my money and sleep at home. Maybe just do a day trip or two. Maybe I should actually try going somewhere in the city considering I live here, try a pub or something. A few hundred a night minimum to stay somewhere on Easter weekend for a trip I tried to talk myself into isn't sounding very smart to me right now, but I'll still make sure I get to do some driving.
anyone got a recommendation for a good, force free/positive reinforcement dog trainer or behaviourist? Colleague just got a rescue dog, and the woman I recommended has apparently retired.
I'm still waiting for pakige. It spent about a week holidaying in Florida, but is now reportedly through customs and somewhere in Melbourne. Finger's crossed it makes its way to me before Easter.
