Much of our psychological apparatus is oriented around impulse control and expression. Being me, I have noticed some part of me resisting when I play my Lumosity games. I will know what to do, but some part of me will resist. I find this interesting. Much of the task of psychological growth is finding, naming and exploring limits. I take information wherever it presents itself.
All those posts were a bit of emotional house-cleaning for me, and although I caught myself sabotaging myself once, mostly it went well. I’m now in the 98.8th percentile for my age group, and 99 is now close at hand. A bit more physical conditioning, and a bit more house-clearing, and I am there.
I will say too that it has been a long time since I could call myself depressed. What I realize now is that many unconscious forces were sucking away my psychic energy, and the net result was a slowness and dullness that manifested as what gets called depression. Life was just hard. Things are getting much, much easier.
I still have many miles to go, but progress is being made.
