Eat at your friend's place. A retreat might help. Be hardcore on changing your diet and hit the gym.

During meditation, a powerful insight struck me: Motivation is like thirst, needing constant replenishment. This led me to consider how I seek inspiration, often consuming motivational content that builds up an intense internal energy—like a volcano about to erupt. However, I realized I lack a clear purpose to channel this energy, only vague desires to 'be better.' This is dangerous: repeatedly getting excited about my potential without a true goal, then falling into despair because I fail to apply that motivation constructively, becomes detrimental to self-improvement.

Thanks!

Make a high consciousness group on Facebook or something like that or start your own community group and hire an app designer. This is something Sam Harris did with his app.

Some of my musings As you settle in for rest, breathe in deeply. You have become a good friend to yourself here on your fabulous path. Let your muscles relax as you exhale. Breathe in again and feel your shoulders drop. Let your arms become heavy. Listen to a poem by Jane Hirshfield and realize your extraordinary power to heal. There are names for what binds us: Strong forces. Weak forces. Look around, you can see them. The skin that forms in a half empty cup Nails rusting into the places they join, Joints dovetailed on their own weight. The way things stay so solidly Wherever they have been set down — And gravity, scientists say, is weak. And see how the flesh grows back Across a wound, with a great vehemence. More strong, Than the simple untested surface before. There's a name for it on horses, When it comes back darker and raised: proud flesh, As all flesh, Is proud of it's wounds, wears them. As honors given out after battle, Small triumphs pinned to the chest - And when two people have loved each other, See how it is like a scar between their bodies, Stronger, darker and proud : How the black cord makes them a single fabric That nothing can teal or mend.

You can mentally pleasure yourself endlessly, a true cerebral acrobatics, and the only reason you can is because it's utterly meaningless. A vacuum, a null-set of purpose. But building a life from actual suffering – now that's got some heft, some real conceptual density. Imagine you're just a big, empty space, a pure void. Nothing, absolutely zero, could make you happy. To suffer is to actively make that void even worse, a deliberate descent into something more, something less blank.

What's the key difference between pseudoscience and esoteric science please?

I agree there's not much merit to it. Bogus slogan invented to attract Trump brigade.

They are Tier 1 people and you can't change them. You have to let them be. You also have to engage with them at their level to get along with them or to thrive among them. Their survival agenda is too constricted and non-inclusive.

Your definition of sanity was near perfect. You seem to operate on a logical paradigm. My question is, why is it hard for you to know what insanity is?

Isn't it easy to differentiate (based on your definition), between who is and who isn't? I mean it's easy to conclude that someone is insane if their interpretation is totally incoherent with human logic, isn't it so? Why would need anyone to tell you what's insanity and what's not?

Brain is a muscle and it's how you exercise this muscle. Type A personalities exercise it way too much. That's how they get things done besides raw genetics. Then it becomes a habit once they are in a feedback loop.

This can mean that our feelings towards ourselves influence how we see our reflection, potentially creating a "vicious cycle" if self-feelings are negative. You have to try mirror gazing but without any preconceived notions. It's like the mirror is not lying but perhaps you want the mirror to lie because it's too difficult to confront the truth

How would you define sanity yourself?

You don't need to think God. You have to be God.
