Everything Is a Practice
I&#x27;m at the point where I feel fed up with too much talk about self-improvement. It&#x27;s ok to not be productive and just enjoy things. Enjoy relationships, the sunshine, even video games or something that is literally a waste of time.<p>Maybe I got burned out by goal-setting and productivity talk. It also might be some remnants of some mild depression I had lately. I guess I just don&#x27;t like feeling pressured to constantly improve, otherwise I&#x27;m not &quot;living 100%&quot; like I should be.<p>So when I read things like this, it grates my nerves: 
&gt;&gt; &quot;In this process though you will become a better human being. You will get better at living. You will have less pain down the road. Your path will be smoother.&quot;<p>It suggests the inverse: that if you&#x27;re not improving, you&#x27;re less of a human being. I&#x27;m not sure if the author meant it that way, but that&#x27;s definitely the way I took it.
