  1. This can also be a big mistake and an unhealthy coping mechanism. Speaking from experience it just ruined the possibility to get back together. Don't do this until you feel okay on your own already, you should not use it to make you feel better or you will be codependent and needy. You need to be ok on your own. Don't do it until you know things are completely finished with the last person.
  2. I did it for around a year and it was great, but i eventually lost motivation relative to other techniques because its so physically hard
  3. I've been thinking about something and am wondering what you think. Here is what I'm thinking might be the case, whatever it is that your life purpose is, or whatever it is you want to bring to others specifically, you need to achieve for yourself first or at least you need to be working on it and have good progress and feel the benefits of this. My life purpose is to grow and cook healthy food in a way thats good for people and the planet. I find myself much more motivated to work on my health and enjoyment of the environment currently, the idea of having my own land in nature and living a healthy lifestyle growing my own food is currently much more motivating than the idea of selling food, which I still really want to do. So, do you think it is important for me to work on achieving healthy and living in nature for myself, then I will be more fulfilled and be better equipped to bring it to others? Obviously there are a lot of financial practical obstacles, but I am wondering about the general principle. THanks!
  4. A few years ago I had been listening to actualized.org for a while and it had changed my life. I was doing around 10 different positive habits daily such as meditating for 2.5 hours. I took the life purpose course and started a permaculture farm and farmed for two seasons. I went on a couple meditation retreats, which I can't at all imagine doing now. Now I can't even get myself to meditate for 5 minutes a day repeatedly. I'm depressed. Just broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years which is absolutely terrible. I barely have enough energy just to keep up with my school work and haven't been taking life purpose action. I'm a junior in college studying environmental studies. I don't know how this happened and why I slowly just started exercising less willpower for personal development. I know to be happy I need to get back to how I used to be. How do I do this?
  5. @integral It's easiest to eat lol Eyowey was talking about how its hard to eat when depressed. Fruit is better than nothing. Luckily I am eating normal now. @universe I'll try that again until I believe it haha
  6. @Artsu My life purpose isn't showing much promise for financially sustaining me once I get out of college. Also though I've had issues with being depressed for a long time I can't get to the root of it. Although when I've had enlightenment experiences from psychedelics or retreats I've felt total relief from it.
  7. @Average Investor Its been years since I've had those habits and I thought it was ego-backlash, I needed to take it slow. But I'm posting because I'm starting to get tired of that and doubt it. I had a bit of a moment doings lots of breathwork where I realized if my spiritual life was more in order I would mentally handle this breakup so much better. So I really wish I could do all those things right now it would help me not be so consumed by the grief. @Eyowey Yea the smoothies and fruit are keeping me alive. Recently I've been able to eat enough like half the days though, so not too bad.
  8. Had a similar situation where she always wanted to put things under the rug and never come back to them. "I forced myself to stay with her trying to solve the problem and feel connected to each other again" this too You will build up resentment and ruin things over time if you don't do what you need and you end up giving and sacrificing more in unreciprocated efforts.
  9. Like a new technique? But i've tried dozens. working on wim hoffing rn.
  10. Even for young healthy people? and if after having heart issues from the vaccine, it's still less risky than being unvaccinated to get the booster? I had heart issues from the johnson and johnson and just got the pfizer booster because of mandates. But what if you already were and now need to get the booster?
  11. @Thought Art Oh I didn't know that. Sometimes I take two pills. I've had such cool lucid dreams with it too.
  12. beware huperzine nightmares and insomnia.
  13. Anyone know if after having heart issues from the vaccine, it's still less risky than being unvaccinated? I had heart issues from the johnson and johnson and just got the pfizer booster because of mandates. So far no issues but it's been only a few hours. Dr Robert Malone: 1/2,700 people get myocarditis from vaccine (Joe rogan) CDC: 1/50,000 people get myocarditis from vaccine CDC: 1/684 people get myocarditis from covid (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm. ) (this is only with hospitalized people, so likely it is much less common) It's not very clear. Dr. Malone made an interesting case about the numbers of vaccine injuries being scewed,
  14. I ate almonds this morning but from now on I will stand in solidarity with those that have tree nut allergies.
  15. invest your money well & be contributive. Doesn't seem like an issue, Talk about it and be open you're trying to communicate in a relationship not pick up a girl with manipulation and false swagger.
  16. I've had knee problems for as long as I can remember. For the past few months I've been trying to find a sitting position that doesn't hurt my knees. I have been completely unsuccessful, and am worried I might be damaging my knees long term. They continue to hurt even after I meditate. Also I stretch daily, and my hips are not tight (anymore) but my knees still hurt. Is sitting meditation necessarily better than standing or sitting in a chair? I know Leo said something about it in one video but it wasn't very conclusive. Please help. I would like to know how to sit without damaging my knees, or know if it is okay/just as effective to not sit.
  17. I remember this guy from youtube. Maybe this is still good exposure.
  18. That's crazy how serendipitous. Let me know if you come for a visit! I'll be in college here for 3 more years. Currently working on starting a university psychedelic club. SUA is a cool college in a class today we talked about science and religion and compared how they were structurally similar. Both beg the question/circular reasoning, similar structure of their creation stories. Seems like some good quality green maybe yellowish. Edit: @Leo Gura did you go to aliso niguel high school(right by me)? did you know about Soka university of america?
  19. Just moved to Aliso Viejo. It's free and pretty spacious.
  20. -Taking a public speaking class. -Need a 6 to 8 minute speech. Informational I want to do something I am passionate about, but at the same time, I need to be understood properly by a bunch of high-schoolers. They may not take kindly to spiral dynamics, but on the other hand I had loads of people tell me they loved my speech about my meditation retreat. Some topic I would like to do are -Jungian psychology -spiral dynamics (probably would be too controversial) -how to interact with emotions. -cult psychology. would try not to plagarize leo. None of these topic make me go like oh yea that's it. So I'm just hoping one of you will give me that idea lol. Sorry if this isn't an appropriate type post.
  21. Got the johnson vaccine a week or two ago. M-rna scares me. Flu-like side effects for 2 days, fever fatigue headaches etc. Weird thing was that an hour after the vaccine (before any other side effects) I had a pinching tightness in my left chest (same side as shot) that lasted for a few hours. Then it came again more mildly for two days after in the evening. Now I feel totally find other than I never used to get headaches EVER and now I have gotten a few since the side effects ended.
  22. Same here, 5-7 -5-8. Where I am very few men are shorter than me and most are around 6 ft or more. I used to think like you did, and I was never with anyone, but now that that's changed I realize my height is a negligible factor. I hope repetition will help you realize that you are deluded thinking height is the problem.
  23. I'll start outlining the small bets I've taken. First, I started/expanded my backyard garden. It was small but fed me most of my vegetables. Next, last September, I went WWOOFing (volunteering & living on organic farm) for a month. Finally, this summer I am running a market garden (Eternal Harvest Gardens, eternal.harvest on instagram) on borrowed land. I'm doing CSA style weekly delivery boxes. The first time I took the course, I learned a lot about how to have a life purpose, and myself, but I was torn between environmental and healthy food production and psychology (Psychedelics, Jung, Positive Psychology, etc.) I applied to college as a psychology major. I took the course again around 7 months ago, and it became apparent to me that my small bets related to farming were indicative of what I want to do. I've switched my major to environmental studies. I am driven enough and clear enough that normally I wouldn't go to college and would just pursue my life purpose, but I am getting a full scholarship + being paid extra, and I might need to work a job in the winter for a few years to get things started. The Life purpose course is extremely high quality and I would have never gotten where i am today without it. I learned so much from it, but it was the actual work that got me here. The exercises were a great start and set up a psychological foundation, which has led me to take lots of action. At first I was very unclear what I wanted to do. It is not like this simply helped me have a positive mindset. At first I was lost and the two ideas of being a psychologist or farmer came from nowhere but my contemplations and looking at what I enjoyed. The course took me from very confused and yearning for a life purpose to very clear. Now I simply must continue actualizing this. Some great books I would recommend for anyone interested in this career path are The Market Gardener by J.M. Fortier and The New Organic Grower by Eliott Coleman. They will help you get started on the path to mastery. I'm still not sure of the exact details of what I want to do, but that's okay for now. I will continue to work on market gardening and perhaps move into buying 4-10 acres, and also building a permaculture food forest for selling food. I would also like to integrate pasture raised poultry into market garden plots (builds natural fertility, great synergy). Thanks so much Leo for an amazing course!
