self harm is like

jerking off to porn you hate,

performing tasks without rest,

not standing up to people you dislike,

sitting inside thinking all life without going out,

not reaching out to the people you know care…

what is the opposite of self-harm? what deeds farm some sort of counter-active force?

    The polar opposite of harming yourself would be improving or benefitting everyone.

    The self-harm examples involve ego. I think of we remove the ego, then altruism is the opposite.

    There are 2 dimensions of it, at-least:

    • strategic, long-view, sustainable, AND
    • creating resilience, creating better-framing, creating robust-healing.

    So, MAKING time, daily, for positive/healing practice, & doing it, is the opposite of self-harm.
