“I have until then to fix these racing thoughts”
I’m my opinion that’s not a great world view. Racing thoughts aren’t inherently bad. If you’re mind isn’t allowing you to enjoy your hobbies (example here being reading), then maybe ask what’s going on in your life that’s making you distracted. If you can identify it and address it then maybe it’ll alleviate what’s going on. At least that’s the hopeful outcome.

Reply to [Discussion] Does self improvement really work? Or is it just the way how we cope with how bad our life is by CrazyEvery3682
Self improvement videos are generalized advice. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s things like: improve your physical fitness, improve your existing relationships, do things for others!
That’s all well and good but it’s not a universal fix. It doesn’t mean you’re broken. Do you take medicine? Some people are averse to that so I understand if you’re not interested but sometimes we can get into a rut chemically. Not suggesting it but it’s something you can think about. There are a lot of medicines that aren’t habit forming, it’s actually how I kick-started my way out of depression.
But everyone’s journey is different. I wish you the best. Activities, mental shift, medicine, or some combination of them all, I hope you find what you need.
