When I have a clash with someone, this is what helps me:
realizing that there’re not many things that could help me
inhaling deeply and not boosting the tension
think back on something pleasant
not attacking the rival physically, not trashing things
remember extreme conflicts and try to calm down
leave immediately, if it’s possible
to make up the fight afterwards, if it’s possible

When I don’t believe in myself and have doubts about my art, this is what helps me:
realizing that from the higher perspective there’s nothing relevant on this
I try not to push myself into creating
I confont my ideas with friends
I’ll rather cancel the exhibition than go to it without trusting the project
I try to have my heart open to subtile signs
I ignore doubts, that everything was already made!
I try to remember how many shit I’ve already seen
I communicate with God

 

When I’m scared of financial insecurity, this is what helps me:

I try to pay for everyone
I do not concentrate on tomorrow
I let it on Higher Powers, I meditate
I try to be happy with what I have got
I lessen my costs and leave out delights
I give money to beggars, I leave tips
I tell myself - no one can die of hunger

When I’m in deppression, this is what helps me:
sex or masturbation
sports, swimming, running, walking - in the woods at best
contemplation and meditation about my state
accepting the state, looking for the reason of it
good food, little delights – movies + popcorn
communication with a woman or friends
tidying up old photographs

When I wanted to dispose of addiction, this is what helped me:
start abstaining from all drugs and alcohol
defer to doctor’s ordination and advice of proffesionals
I started to run and exercise
I stopped going to old places and meeting old friends
I gave myself some time
I used self-punishments
I prayed a lot and meditated
I appointed an exact daily schedule
quit relationships with women
I meet abstainers regularly

When my girlfriend left me, this is what had helped me:

I stopped contacting her
I started doing sports
I masturbated a lot
I hit on every woman I met
I was looking for a close girlfriend
I told everyone about it
I prayed a lot and meditated
I detracted her
I wrote an inventory about my past relationships
I was embracing Okiome
