Try nicorette gum while you taper down on the smokes. All that in your lungs is not good.

The reason they act like that about the j&j is because it is strong and causes the most immediate side effects. Tiredness is most common but a lot of people experience low grade fever and chills 24hrs after the shot. Some people also get dizziness directly after the injection. Symptoms do only last max 24-48 hours if it happens. I work at a drugstore and hear the pharmacist say her shpeal all day long. Do some research about the different shots. The j&j is a different type of technology than the Moderna and Pfizer. Personally I think it would be nice to just get it over with in one shot. And for most people there won't be any serious side effects.

Lately I've been cultivating more love in my life. It's done at home and in nature through meditation, yoga and embodiment practices. When I go out, I feel into what I practiced at home in my body and it gives life a different quality. If I don't do my love cultivation I can tell. I treat people differently, am quicker to react, I feel more rushed and less satisfied. I also think that the word love is romanticized and often brings up thoughts and feelings that may not be based in much that is solid.

Hahahahahahaha omfg this made my jaw drop. If I guy did this to me I would go gaga.

@tatsumaru I used to do this ALL THE TIME. But then wasn't taking much good action in my own life. Hahaha. Make sure you use it as inspiration and don't just judge them forever.

@devoid I think it's ok to identify with the body. Of course it's not the only thing, but we all have amazing bodies that we are exploring in one way or another. You're on the right track asking questions and learning about who you are.

@rd5555 You have to keep exploring and following the little things that give you sparks here and there.

@rd5555 in any specific domain or just general discovering resourceful ways to think? It might be helpful to get more specific. Who do you want to help, what is your speciality, how do you want provide those insights?

What is your life purpose?

You will be excited about it as a whole. In the day to day there will be struggles, but there will be a continual excitement underneath.

My dad is a Trump supporter, over time I've seen him be more and more close-minded about it. It's rather sad.

@28 cm unbuffed hi! have you tried really physically tending to the wrist? Maybe doing some wrist stretches/exercises that you find online, or being extra gentle and kind to it until it heals fully.

Yes. I experienced telepathy through eyes once. My friend and I had a brief exchange in our heads. Since that happened I became more aware of non-verbal communication that happens through the eyes. All kinds of strange things are possible.

@Blackhawk Have you looked into somatic experiencing? Simply put, it is a method of processing trauma, difficult emotions and stress --through-- the body and movement, rather than trying to talk or reason your out of it. It is the work of Peter Levine. traumahealing.org is his website. You can also type somatic experience into Google and YouTube for more resources.

@actualizing25 it's ok to pursue peace. Even understanding God and reality can help with that. You may find there is more to life than not suffering. When you do have moments of bliss, think to yourself: "ok, what's next?"

@Karmadhi I just remembered!

It's probably healthier for you to enjoy some wine or a nice beer every once in awhile than to obsess whether or not you should have some at all.

That's what a lot of people who don't know much about astrology think. The placement of all the moon and planets at the minute you were born play a role in what makes up you. And it's not as simple as personality. It can be the lessons that you came here to learn, the way you appear to others etc. Astrology is a very deep and ancient study.

I heard it described as a language. Once you learn the language properly it makes sense. There are a lot of people who do it wrong though, and I think that's where the bs factor comes in. Astrology can be quite accurate when done by serious astrologers. Leo has a video that talks about how various things like that are generally real, anyone remember what it's called?

I watched your video. I think you have have some good knowledge and now need to spend time integrating and figuring out how you would like to share it in a wise way. The forum appreciates high quality content, not repetitive low quality posts with needless swearing. I once thought that Jesus was the way. Then I realized it was a stepping stone and that ultimately it was still all me.

Even if everyone gets a shot, we won't just be "moving on". Things are different now. I also don't want people to get jabbed just so we can "move on" and things can go back to normal. That seems nearsighted.

Do you like being in nature? Also, a therapist may be helpful in this situation.

Find out your life purpose. That will give you lots of work.

@Chi_ Thich Nhat Hanh is awesome. I really enjoyed his books Peace is Every Step as well as Anger.

BJJ is a ton of fun. You'll learn basics on how to protect yourself, get in shape, meet new people, learn body mechanics and it's a really detailed art, making it highly interesting. Just try it out, don't worry about mastering it. You're bound to reap benefits no matter what.
