Rigel

I used to drink as a teenager and then I started getting into meditation and stuff (psychs) so I quit. Couple years later I take a glass of wine(I am small not super drunk but enough) and think to myself: "woah this is so clearly poison and bringing my over all state down how did I ever drink that and enjoy it?" Maybe you do fine with it I don't know everybodies' chemestry is different and stuff but to me at least this feels like anti-awareness.(As if there was such a thing)

Leo has talked about this ad nauseam I can’t remember a specific video but probably "how does psychedelic work?"

"Bro I discovered this whole field of psychedelics it is literaly unbelievable bro wanna try it sometimes?" "Nah bro I don't feel it bro there's like dangers about it I heard bro I am not comfortable or interested." "No problem bro I'm just so excited about it bro anyway what are you up to?"

Maybe he needs to move out

I do nothing. Then I suffer. Then I do nothing some more. Then I am fine. I notice myself wanting to distract with entertainement, food and other things but I don't because I know from experience that by doing nothing I will eventually see my thoughts for what they are and laugh it off. (I fall prey to distraction plenty even if I know that it doesnt work tho) Feel the way you feel with all your might buddy

Last visit thingy indicates November 28th but it seems he posted something October 11th

Weed fucks up sleep. Then poor sleep fucks up everything else.

@TK2021 good luck then I cant help you

I have a PUR filter and I like it. There's a bunch of models and sizes with basically the same activated carbon filter. I don't have a clue about the science but water tastes way better and I feel great.

Are there any Tool fans here? ?

I want to take 1h every day to put 100% of my focus into this. What are some practices, books, courses or anything that has to do with emotional mastery type ressources?

Open mind = open ears

Don't you have a dream? Why are you self improving? Theres no reason to change anything about yourself if you don't want to do so. Write what you want down maybe. Just so that you are sure about it. Self-improvement is action. If you did 10years of mental masturbation instead of actions then that's where the problem is. Its like reading about tennis for 10years and then being surprised that you can’t play tennis.

Take 5min breaks every now and then to do squats and stretch.

What is your career plan? The moment where you need to leave your parents will come sooner than you think. You might want to figure these things out already and start building skills. You are going to be at such an advantage by starting so young.

I grinded meditation for over 2 years before I had to take a couple months off. Now I am a lot less stubborn, I enjoy it a lot more and I can see the ENORMOUS difference it makes on the rest of my day(where as I couldnt see it before cause I was forcing myself to do it) so naturaly I want to do it. Leo said that recently: Enjoy it! Don't beat yourself up over missing a day. If you really feel like meditating It's gonna be so much more potent. But it is still true that practice makes perfect and consistency is key. Do the practice for the practice itself not to get somewhere. Theres no easy answer here

Why does pooping feel so good? Edit: I can’t help you because I don't know sorry. But like, it was a good question. Why does anything feel good at all?

Where do you live? I was thinking a IRL jam sesh?

I havent noticed that but damn spice tastes amazing

For the slim chance that this is not a troll: no you don't understand. Otherwise you're pretty funny

Depends how you use that time. If you swap Music for youtube or any other entertainment it certainly isn't a net positive. To me it's not actually possible to listen to music "mindlessly" like you would do with a TV show or something. The only time when I am not 100% conscious of it is when I do something else at the same time which I tend to not do so much. To me Music IS meditation. I sit there and I pay attention. But I am a musician I am definitely biased.

Hours of sunlight affect how much I sleep I tend to sleep a lot more in winter 8hrs or so where as in summer its more like 6hrs. In Canada we have very short winter days.

I am 5'1 as a guy try to fathom that? Ego is never satisfied right. Play off your strengths. God wanted to have the experience of you so much try to honor it. ?

PB may or may not be bad and/or good and/or both under different conditions and for different people. My body likes it. Just make sure you don't buy the crappy kind that's half-peanut and half-sugar/cheap oil.

Attention span is a skill that grows with use. I am sure some people have it harder than others but I would bet that most "diagnosed" ADD are life style induced.
