To start, watching and listening to Jordan Peterson has had a profound positive impact on my life, to the point where I don't know where I'd be without having watched his lectures. 2018, more specifically the start of my junior year of high school, was not a great time for me and I can genuinely attribute my improved well-being in 2019 due to my implementation of many recommendations of his. Now, after having attempted to follow this lifestyle, for lack of a better word, for the past few years now, I keep arriving at the same issue and I'd appreciate some advice. My challenge is that I spend far too much of my energy and attention on aspects of my life that I feel can be fixed or improved. I came to this realization this once I recognized that I only journal in times of hardship, and never reflect upon positive experiences in life. I do think that I am just a relatively neurotic person in general, somewhere more than average but nowhere near where it's debilitating, so I think that definitely contributes to this dilemma. But as a whole, I just think my quality of life would improve if I begin to learn to value my positive experiences just as highly as those learning experiences. I started a meditation routine two weeks ago to help with grounding myself in the moment and getting out of my head, so I hope that that can have greater residual effects with time. I didn't exactly know how to title this, but regardless I thank you all for helping me with this situation.
