I was watching a funny video an hour ago, about a 'rich' young guy who has a picture-perfect morning routine which sounded like it was inspired by this famous scene from American Psycho:
I don't remember where I heard it, but isn't the desire to track everything, obsess over routines, and have a rigid way of living a sign of high serotonin?
Because, speaking from experience, I only sought to live that way when I was REALLY suffering health-wise (I've still got some issues to take care of, but don't we all?)
If so, the scale of global health problems is rising astronomically, more and more people are trying to police their way of living rather than focus on the root cause of their dissatisfaction
It's not entirely a bad thing—yes, some structure is absolutely for sanity and overall health, but the extremes people are going to are quite comical because it's all a shell game
The puppet masters are doing everything to drive us insane, it's become quite clear at this point
Extended lockdowns, constant fear-mongering, "Dark Winter" warnings which probably have some merit, the (sub)conscious disturbance of seeing people in masks when you leave your house
Add all of that to the stress of deteriorating or non-existent relationships, and constant information overload from social media + news sources
Serotonin is probably at a global all-time high
'Self-Improvement' becomes an outlet, and while it's inherently aimless, it's a much better outlet for your health than being a porn addict, playing video games all day, sleeping all day, or turning to drugs
How have you been staying sane during these times? What have you noticed from the people around you?
