What is the #1 thing you need to stop doing?

I've never forgotten the cause of death of William Holden, an actor I enjoyed Very Much. He died in 1981. He had a habit of drinking alone, nightly, fell, hit his head & bled to death. He was 63. Always thought of him as being older but I guess that was because I was so much younger.

that kills more than drugs and smoking

It sure does.

No doubt about it--procrastinating. Oh gosh do I ever do a lot of that.

I wish I could stop thinking about bad things that happened to me. I no longer ruminate about them, but they do pop into my head every once in a while and ruin my equanimity. Some day, scientists will be able to remove unwanted memories. I wish that day were today.

Usually happens when I am trying to fall asleep. I will tell myself, "That doesn't matter, at all, didn't then doesn't matter now". Or lately I will just tell myself to shut up. Over the years I have gotten better at dealing with the painful past. I go back and forth blaming other people, then blaming myself and go right back to, "It doesn't matter!"
