@Yidaki@Yidaki thank you for sharing. I will definitely look into this Can artificial light at home, like those blue/red lights compensate for not getting enough sun? Or should we ditch those devices and only absorb sunlight? If you could let me know, would be very helpful. How does it work and what specific benefits have you had from it? Would really like to know.

This is gender irrelevant. Guys filter for hot girls all the time. Get rid of limiting beliefs. All the best.

No. Derealization is a mental phenomenon where you feel detached from your surroundings. People and objects around you may seem unreal. Even so, you're aware that this altered state isn't normal. Surroundings that appear distorted, blurry, colorless, two-dimensional or artificial, or a heightened awareness and clarity of your surroundings. Distortions in perception of time, such as recent events feeling like distant past. Distortions of distance and the size and shape of objects. Do not confuse this with any spiritual awakening or experience.

To consider someone ugly and disabled and therefore to assume that they cannot have a love life is very discriminatory.

My suggestion. 1. Understand the Problem You can’t fix something that you don’t understand. To eliminate gambling from your life, you must learn about the issue and admit you have a gambling problem. You might have a gambling disorder if you have: The powerful need to gamble with larger amounts of money Feelings of restlessness or irritability when not gambling Made repeated and unsuccessful attempts to quit gambling Found yourself completely preoccupied with gambling Noticed you gamble to manage stress Continued gamble to “get even” Lied to friends, coworkers and loved ones about gambling Lost relationships or created conflict about gambling Needed financial support Be honest with yourself when you look over the symptoms of gambling disorder, or even better, ask a loved one about their opinion of your gambling for a clearer understanding. Stop denying and start seeing the negative effect gambling has on your life 2. Join a Support Group Now that you have recognized the problem, you can seek assistance from a support group. Support groups are organizations maintained by people with similar experiences and pasts. Though support groups lack professional interventions, they are free to try out in person or in online chat rooms. Gamblers Anonymous is one support group specifically built around the needs of people with gambling problems. The group is based around the familiar 12-step approach used by other support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. 3. Avoid Temptation Gambling is a temptation, but seeing gambling as an addiction is a significant step because it permits you to use skills from addiction recovery and relapse prevention. For someone in recovery, avoiding people, places and activities linked to gambling can help them avoid a setback. By avoiding these triggers, you can avoid the thoughts and feelings that encourage gambling. So, if driving by a casino after work sparks thoughts of gambling, take an alternative way home. If watching sports makes you want to bet on it, consider watching something else. Cut up your credit cards and let your spouse handle the checkbook. It may seem like an inconvenience, but just as a person with a drinking problem should not go into a bar, you have to identify and avoid your triggers. Work with a loved one on your list of triggers and find ways to avoid the temptations to reduce the risk of gambling. 4. Postpone Gambling With addictions, there are cravings. Cravings are strong urges to complete the desired behavior. As a gambler, you could have cravings to call your bookie, go to the casino, cash your paycheck or other behaviors linked to gambling. Cravings are intense, and while you are in the middle of one, it feels like it could last forever. It will not, though. All cravings have a beginning, middle and end. So as long as you can postpone your gambling, you can maintain recovery. An excellent way to approach this issue is by paying attention to your cravings, what they feel like, what you think about during the craving and how long it tends to last. By studying the craving, you begin to take away its control over you. Once you build an understanding of the situation, you can list a set of thoughts or actions to distract from the gambling. Perhaps, deep breathing or calling a friend when a craving hits will be the best ways to postpone gambling. 5. Find Alternatives to Gambling Avoiding triggers and distracting during cravings are great ways to deal with gambling, but to improve your state, you’ll need to find healthy alternatives to gambling. By replacing gambling behaviors with positive ones, you shift the focus away from the bad and towards the good. Some gambling alternatives include: Physical activity (e.g., going for walks, weightlifting, team sports or yoga) Meditation Spending more time with friends and family who do not gamble Volunteering at a hospital or animal shelter Exploring new hobbies Traveling Just think of the fun, beneficial alternatives you can explore with the extra money you have from not gambling. 6. Think About the Consequences Shame and guilt are strong feelings for anyone in recovery from addiction. Shame and guilt can be dangerous because too much of them can encourage people to relapse, but some levels of shame and guilt can motivate you to stay in recovery. Think about the consequences of your past gambling to avoid gambling in the future. Think about: The emotional pain you caused your loved ones The financial hardships you put your family in Any lies you told to disguise your addiction from others Try not to dwell on past behavior, and only use it for motivation to avoid gambling in the future. Too much shame or guilt can be counterproductive. Seek Professional Help(if nothing works) If your gambling is severe, consider seeking professional help as soon as possible. Hope this helps.

Beyond the alchemy - spirituality and related subjects

February 24 I'm getting tired of this damn music.

I have to gradually move towards healing.

It's so cold here right now and I'm trying not to die from the cold.

Slowly things will get better Hannu bird.

It came out very recently, like 3 days ago and it looks exactly like Twitter, if you have Apple store, you can download it.

Locario?Please, omg, I'm laughing so hard. I don't know about this observation. Personally, I've never been attracted to anyone without emotional stimulation. I think you're conflating emotional connection with emotional stimulation. A connection might not have existed, yet stimulation is the key to successful attraction.

I also feel a bit disoriented and confused.

Yea I was going to talk about this. It's not yet available on Android.

My latest favorite song.

I found an activity that consumes my concentration.

I would want a video on self love( in depth).

His impersonation of Jordan Peterson is too funny. He is the long island matador. Lmao.

Try to zoom out and take a birds-eye view of your life events so far. If someone you loved dearly, unconditionally, would tell you this story, what would you wish for her? Then tune into your highest self, the most self-loving version of you you can imagine. Take some time to feel connection with her. What would she want for you in the future? How would she plot the next pivotal points of your life story? What does this situation right now come to mean, in the overall story of your most actualized life?

I knew a guy in school who was gay and was in a relationship with another guy. I don't think it's a big deal in India. You could still do it although not too publicly but nobody would care too much about your bedroom so I don't think you would face a problem. I mean you can do it secretly.

So I need to do the podcast.

In that case you need to work on both aspects Work on — 1) emotional trauma and blockages by dealing with your emotions and slowly processing and resolving them over time. Often times we're looking for some sort of a closure for our past emotions that have mostly been repressed. 2) keep socializing in the meantime instead of putting it off for later because you're losing precious time in your youth when you don't socialize early on, you could be missing out on a lot of learning. If you have already spent a lot of time not socializing for any reason, it might be the right time to take it seriously and force execute it even though it's not exactly in your comfort zone, doing it right now will be fruitful for the future, better late than never, now is the time to learn and grow.

Eyes that see the lies exercise.

This problem will only improve with more socializing. The more you push yourself to do it, the more you begin to enjoy it over time.
