Good idea to walk around the block. Easy exercise to start, and once you begin, you cannot really bail out after a few seconds.
When I think back on my life, and remember how selfish and self-absorbed I have been, it is good to remind myself that narcissism is understandable when someone is in pain because pain causes the organism to focus inward. I was in pain, and I didn't have very good tools for dealing with the pain, so narcissism was natural. That makes me feel better, to remember this. Also, makes me feel grateful that I have better tools now for dealing with pain.
I am praying for help now. I am so glad I stopped caring about the "real" Jesus of the worldly church and the worldly bible, and now I pray to the Jesus of my youthful imagination - a Jesus who doesn't send anyone to hell, a Jesus who is not a "jealous god", a Jesus who is there for all who are weak.
