You will listen to me a confused 23 year old reflect on my anxieties, emotions, and memories. Helping myself and listeners forge a more profound sense of self. Will laugh, will cry, but most importantly, will GROW.
In the fifty-ninth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I explain why I quit the podcast for the foreseeable future. I discuss my feelings of being stuck in a harmful pattern that stunts my growth. I am exhausted of not creating a better me all while knowing I have the control, I am tired of allowing others energies and opinions to drag me down, and I am done not taking action. So from now on, I am investing my time and energy into habits that will make me a better and happier individual.
In the fifty-eight podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how I have fallen back into destructive and comfortable patterns. Reflecting on these facts is extremely stressful because I have acknowledged this problem for several months now, but I have not maintained my positive habits. I continue to talk about creating checks and balances that will keep me on the right path, but the future will reveal if I will meet these thoughts with actions.

In the fifty-fifth podcast journal of Brain Vomit (the shortest one to date), I discuss how I had an emotionally exhausting day.

Soon the pournals will be back to more depth and thoughtfulness.

In the forty-ninth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how these last couple of days of being a waiter have caused me much stress and anxiety. The main culprit behind my anxiety is perfection. Wanting to make sure I am great at the job, I begin to play ridiculous scenarios in my mind to prepare for them once they happen. Sadly all I am doing is stressing myself out worrying about events that have not happened and worrying about outcomes I have no clue about—on top of all this anxiety, I have not found an excellent way to cope. If you have any advice, please reach out.

If you don't accomplish what you set out to achieve for the day, will you feel sad, angry, or any other emotion? Is it worth it not to finish your goals if you know you will feel terrible later?

In the forty-seventh podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how weekends can feel like a trap for me. I am someone who feeds off momentum, and the more days in a row I do a task or habit, the better and more consistent I am.

In the forty-sixth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I keep my self accountable. I had my first day working at an excellent rooftop bar/restaurant in downtown Cincinnati. It was challenging since I had been sitting on my ass for three months, but it felt good to start making money moves. I ramble and vent in this pournal, but I just wanted to keep my self accountable and post every day, even if it was las minute like many of my papers in college.

In the forty-fifth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how these last couple weeks have been difficult, and I have been feeling burned out. A couple of days back, I incentivized my self to do all my chores and responsibilities by promising my self a bubble bath with a couple of beers (it was best bath beer ever). In our hectic days full of stress and work, it is crucial to reward ourselves. I want to start adding daily, weekly and monthly rewards, so I have something to look forward to and balance out all the stress of the modern world.

In the thirty-fifth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how my relationship with marijuana became extremely unhealthy. I would self medicate my anxieties, but slowly that turned into using weed for every part of my life. I analyze how weed stunted my university growth because it stopped me from exploring the vibrant clubs and people on my campus.

In the thirty-first podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how I forgot what it felt like to be in a community of like-minded individuals who are pursuing the same goals. Having people be supportive and engaging in your work feels fantastic, and no one is better at this than the small podcaster. So many different people have reached out to show support, give advice, and connect. It is amazing how kind people can be and how amazing communities are at lifting your spirits and keeping you motivated. We should all strive to find communities surrounding our passion so we may grow and learn together.

In the thirtieth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss my mom's unconditional love and willingness to help me complete chores, homework, and more. These actions turned me into a mamas boy. I learned a lesson that if someone loved you and wanted to see you succeed, they would move mountains for you; I used this information to my advantage. I began using loved ones to help me with projects, get jobs, and more. I talk about how being a mamas boy helped me become lazy because I knew if I waited long enough, someone would help. Being a mamas boy created many negative habits and ideas I must begin to unravel. I end my pournal by saying how amazing my parents are, and that I would not be the person I am today without their good and bad lessons.

In the twenty-eight podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how recently I have become disorganized because of not scheduling my day and my mind being clutter with the various responsibilities of moving out.

I argue that we should not wait that long to think profoundly but instead reflect now, so we can avoid regret and set our lives on the path we choose. I wrap the pournal up by discussing some of my feeling of regret and how I am trying to improve.

In the twenty-fourth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I talk about how yesterday I woke up down and just not a good mood. I slipped into bad habits and spent the entire day playing video games and not doing any of my responsibilities. I talk about how long it takes to build a habit (on average, 66 days) and how I feel like I failed my self for breaking my current streak of positive habits. It is easy for me to slip into a bad week from just a bad day because I begin kicking my self for my mistakes. I end the pournal on a positive note by quoting the Great Hannah Montana. None of us are perfect, and we must continue to try to improve ourselves.

In the twenty-third podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I discuss how I am jealous of friends and loved ones who have found vocations they are passionate about. The jealousy stems from my inability to find something that drives me day in and day out. I have had many big dreams, but never once have I taken action to follow them. Not taking action has to lead to many depressing days because I have felt incompetent with the lack of results. I end the pournal with a silver lining that luckily I did never take action on my dreams, so there is still a possibility I could find my passion, I don't know, but I must try.

In the seventeenth podcast journal of Brain Vomit, I explain cognitive dissonance, and how the wide chasm between my actions and my ideas of who I wanted to be caused severe depression and anxiety in my life. To deal with that depression, I turned to video games, getting lost in the worlds they created for me. It was easy to avoid the problems and emotions I had when in the land of video games. By ignoring my feelings and cognitive dissonance, I never took control of my life and instead developed a pattern of becoming depressed and using video games to cope. I end the podcast by discussing the importance of breaking these loops and crutches so we can grow and align our actions with our ideas of self.
