The Dark High Road. Approximating Time Travel

Identify the current scenario you are faced with. Identify the key events, realizations, and stages of personal growth (positive or negative) that stacked up and brought you to where you are now.
Now identify where you want to be now; the circumstances or scenarios you want to be experiencing now. Identify what key events, realizations, and stages of growth that would had to have occurred to get you to where you want to be in the present.
Once you identify to those things that would had to have happened, go do those things. Or do the closest approximation to them that you can achieve. Understand what it is about those could have beens that would let you move forward, then do something that achieves the same end. Practice, live your alternate history.
To compliment this, practice neutrality. Identify actions, people, conversations, places, that help you ease out of a polarized state and enter a state of neutrality. Search for places untouched by humans, the places where no one goes. Inhabit the ideas that no one inhabits. Do things that no one else does. By aligning to these untouched things, you carve out a unique niche that is completely your own and belongs to no one else. This will give you a sense of freedom to move when you have become stuck, caught up in the complications of others.
