Hi :)
Hello, my name is Anessa, and I'm new here. I'm really glad that Andrew has a pinned post w/introduction instructions because I definitely would not have posted, otherwise. I can be pretty wordy; so, thanks for reading my many my thoughts & tangents.
The type of content I most love:
Mmm... non-fiction books, podcasts, songs, or videos that inspire self-reflection, betterment (of self), pensive moments, and/or action.
The problem(s) I'm currently working on:
  1. Organizing my days to be maximally productive without burning myself out.
  1. Narrowing my interests/endeavors(!!!!!). This one's HUGE for me. I want to do everything, see everything, be everything, learn everything. I'm so fascinated by the world, its complexity, unknowns, nuances, mundanity, everything.
  1. Not being so indecisive. Analysis paralysis. Buridan's ass. This one's intrinsically related to problem number 2. I want to create & share videos of myself creating art (I draw, paint, & do photography), but I can't decide on the format.
  1. Overcoming performance anxiety. I love to sing, and I've recently started uploading videos of myself singing (to TikTok, as much as I dislike the platform... I upload, respond to comments, and promptly delete the app because I hate even having it on my phone). My goal is to sing with Alec Benjamin someday, so the fact that I get a little shy when I'm recording myself singing (even if I'm totally alone) may not be a good sign haha
If anyone has any helpful advice, insight, encouragement, etc., for the above problems, I'd sincerely appreciate hearing/reading it. And, even if not, thanks for taking the time to read through my rambling.
Also! I've just started reading every morning for >30 minutes (and listening to 40Hz binaural beats while I do - heard about it from Dr. Andrew Huberman). One of the chapters emphasizes the importance of being honest - with those you encounter and, almost especially, yourself. Part of the reason I'm starting over is because I avoided being honest with myself regarding what I'm truly passionate about, what I ultimately want out of life, and a lot of other things that are unrelated to this group haha. I have a college degree, I completed my pre-med courses, I worked in several industries, I started learning to code (still am, actually), changed my mind fifty times in between each of the aforementioned things, and here I am - starting over. If I had listened to my intuition, I would have saved a lot of time, energy, and heartache. But I can't change yesterday, so I'll use my hindsight for today, and for tomorrow.
Anyway, thanks for reading :)
