1 Compulsive consuming

Often times we consume to distract ourselves from sadness, madness, dissatisfaction or some other not-so-fun emotions. We overeat, overwork, do drugs, binge drink, buy uselessly, endlessly watch TV, play video games or are 24/7 connected to social media to forget how unhappy we are with ourselves and the life that we’ve created.

2 Long-term complaining

I had a phase where I was really unhappy at work, like soul-suckily unhappy. I had noticed that I wasn’t happy, and was passively looking for a new job, but didn’t think too much of it. Well, until I ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen in about 2 years and she said, “Oh, you’re still at that job? I thought you hated it there.”

Becoming especially short with those especially close to you is a clear sign that something isn’t right. Or speedily going from 0 to 100 on the super stressed life scale, can also be an indicator.

OK so after hours of reading I think I now understand that my 530 doesn't try to help me navigate directly back to the route when I go off course even with my settings above.#N#During my upcoming bike packing where being on the route on remote bush trails will be vital to my safety I am not going to be able to rely on my 530.#N#I will still use the 530 but will also be following turn by turn by RWGPS on my phone using Bluetooth headphones and have my wife's Wahoo on the bars which shows me a much simpler representation of my location on the route that is easy to see at a glance.#N#Using three devices seems like overkill, if I decided to cut that to two devices I would get rid of the 530.#N#Perhaps the 530 is ok for navigating a city that you are unfamiliar with, but I want to follow a route precisely in the bush and I'm not finding the 530 very helpful for that..
