You can just stop using it. Look into it. Once you get past the initial oiliness from not using it anymore it is fine. You could also look into making your own toothpaste, so you can go fluoride free. As for fasting, I have not done a lot of research there to recommend something.

Recovering quite fast from being sick. My head still does not feel that great. I am glad that I am really giving myself time to rest and relax a bit. I think this should be one of my top priorities for me to perform at my best regularly. I really hope this leg muscle can heal up fast too as it has prolonged for quite awhile. But that is probably my fault for continuing to use it in the first place. It does not really bother my at all during regular activities though. Working on cleaning through everything and making my environment better to be in all around. It feels a lot better to be somewhere more organized and clean. While it is not always the easier thing to do and it gets put to the bottom of the list sometimes. Especially since my business is always bringing new stuff and stuff going out it leaves a mess gradually that does not get cleaned that fast. I am likely going to get to travel around the US for a month this summer. This is going to be an incredible opportunity if I get to. It is not something I had imagined I would get to do, but if I go it should be a great experience. It is something I have wanted to do, but never really had the opportunity until now. So I hope it will pan out. If not I will make the effort to do this in the future.

What kind of business are you running? You will want to create your own path. Figuring out a good marketing strategy is well worth your time. What you value within your business and your life is entirely up to you. Mastery is enjoyable and rewarding if you have the right mindset. Not to mention you can get really good at one thing and pay for all of the other aspects to be taken care of. Just make whatever product or service you are offering worthwhile.

I have been there before. I gained 60lbs pretty rapidly. My life was kind of falling apart at the time and was pretty close to being homeless a few times. First of all I would start by trying to just switch yourself over to having a supply of food in your car. Even if it is junk. Because to be honest about anything is better than fast food. If you can load your car up with organic nuts, dried fruits, and other good natural items. These will help you a lot with feeling healthier. I was able to cut it out completely because I was tired of making myself sick with it. It is really unfortunate that it is an option of food to eat. You are going to have to make an active habit of keeping enough food on you to avoid it. Does your office have a microwave or anything else close by that you could eat instead?

How long have you been eating like that? Depending on quantity you could try to switch up the rice and quinoa a bit more with something easier to digest. I eat a lot of quinoa, typically about 3/4 cup a day. But in the morning I have a smoothie with a mixture of fruits and veggies. I would say at first this was harder to adjust to. I don't have any issues at all with it now. But I imagine an excess amount of stuff like rice and quinoa is going to make you feel bloated like that depending on the amount. At least that is my experience with it. It took awhile for my body to adjust to it. I would try to just rotate out one on those with something like a salad, smoothie, nuts, etc. Then see how it goes from there. You might also be experiencing more gas due to increased fiber intake. Are you drinking enough water? That could be a big part of the issue too.

I feel a cold coming on and the effects of overworking for a couple of weeks. Going to take it fairly easy for a couple days. Letting my leg muscle heal a bit more and skipping the walk for a couple days too. I think this will help me reset a bit. Still going to do some work, but just whatever feels right to do. Not going to overdo it at all. I seem to be fighting off the cold pretty well so far though. It appeared over the last few days and has not really for all that bad. So hopefully I can keep myself well by not over doing it and running in the cold etc. I really lucked out yesterday. I had my ps4 up for sale locally for quite awhile now with my tv and stuff because I have not wanted to play it. I was just going to put the money in savings, when it sold. I kept dropping the price and I was finally only going to take $165 the other day for it without the tv (tv was not that nice I paid $5 for it like 3 years ago). The guy ended up changing his mind before we meet, but then yesterday a guy wanted to trade a gaming laptop for it. He was not honest and told me it was a nicer model that went for $450 used on ebay, but it ended up being worth like $260-$280. Which is still quite a bit more than the playstation. I assume he sold it to me because he did not know how to update the drivers and software, so he wanted to dump it off to someone else assuming something was wrong with it. But it ended up working out really good for me. I needed the computer to keep up with the editing as my main computer does not have a graphics card or anything. So that seemed to work out really well for me. It kind of feels like everything is just kind of falling in line for me lately. Like this is what I really need to be doing with my life. Kind of strange how things work. I feel like so many doors are just rapidly opening up for me all at the same time I can't even keep up. There is so much opportunity available in the world. I feel so fortunate for the stuff that I have and I am able to do. I am thankful I am able to learn things so easily and have so much energy to dedicate to life. I am not sure where I would be without this work.

@Patt That's awesome. I wish you good luck with this. I am glad I could help you out.

It looks like I am going to have an opportunity to take a month this year and travel around the US by car. This will be really exciting for me to do. It was not something I was expecting to be able to do so soon in life. This is going to be quite an experience if everything falls through. I will see how everything goes for me though. I won the award again for best impromptu speech this morning in toast masters! I have really been practicing and it has been showing. I want to get a membership soon for both clubs and start doing more with my speaking. I have already dramatically improved with my skills for speaking. I feel so much more confident and the flow of thoughts is so much easier than it was before. I can't imagine how good I will be after doing this for a whole year. I am going to get good at doing this for sure. I am really taking the time to reassess how I invest my time and what I am doing with it. I am going to keep building systems that allow me to have days off and allow me to bring in the most creativity that I can. I want to set myself up to be persistent and not burn out. If I do burnout I want to be able to have a fall back system that covers me well and I can have stuff working from there. I have done pretty well for setting my ebay business up to do this so far. But I need to invest some more time into it now.

@Hansu It was not quite as sweet as I would have expected. It kind of had a roasted flavor to it. But that might vary from where you find it. It was rather expensive at $9 for 10oz. But dragon fruit is a bit hard to come by I would imagine. I would like to get one in it's raw state soon too and try it that way. I buy frozen fruit for smoothies and I have one variety that has it, but I don't consume it individually, so I will be excited to see how it is normally. Awesome, it sounds like you are on the right track for snacking. I do intermittent fasting myself now, but I do snack in the 6 hours I eat. I have found pretty good results doing this it seems. I have a pretty well managed eating time.

@zudrush I am not saying anything against exploring a new place. If you feel it will really help, then go for it! It might give you that drive you need to find everything you are looking for there. I have thought about moving myself, but I realize that I do have a lot of opportunity right here. But I do want to move eventually and try out some new cultures. I would say there is really unlimited information available here. You can access so many great minds with just a few strokes. But you have to know what to look for. I would really recommend investing in high quality books too. I have found a lot of life changing information and books are pretty cheap. Find the topics that you are wanting to advance in most. If you want some job promotions, then you could consider refining some skills from them too. Things like public speaking could help you gain the confidence and give you an edge over other candidates. You could also meet some new friends and such in clubs for things like that. I get that you might feel exhausted where you are at. Maybe your time at that place has run it's course for you. I hope that you find what you are looking for.

@Patt Glad to hear we were able to help! See what you can find that really sparks your interest. It might not even really be music. Try some different things if you feel the need to. I recently found that I enjoy photography and never really considered that something I would do. It might become part of how I even make a living in the future. Financial independence is tricky because it can deter you from exploring your passions and things you really enjoy in life. I would say if you want to aim for the Independence at least enjoy what you do. Try to find a middle ground if you have to. But if you can pursue your passion and really commit to it, then you could find that it could be plenty rewarding financially.

I have been really keeping myself busy. Working on getting structure in place to help myself get ahead on time a bit. I feel like this is some of the most energy I have had in my life. I feel excellent working all day. It is not like that everyday, but I sure do feel good getting everything done. I find that I still really enjoy reselling too, so I am not really in a big rush to just can that business or anything. But I have kind of put it to the side. I need to finish making it more passive and able to generate me plenty to live off of. I see progress every day that I really try to make an effort. Even just a little piece by piece it all seems to add up. I am getting so much better at speaking now since I started toast masters it is great. I am way more confident too. I am trying to dress myself more to where I feel like I am where I want to be at. I realize that ego kind of makes it where there is the idea of how I could look etc. But I really want to plant this success in my mind fully. I am really getting results just making my thoughts as positive as possible. It is probably one of the best things that I found in personal development. Although, I think all of this is really awesome so far. I picture such a better life for myself at this point. I just need to make sure that I take care of myself well to sustain it. I want to live a good life and work hard to get the things that I want. I see so much opportunity out there for me. I have a lot of energy and I just need to harness it where I can make the most of it.

@Chumbimba Thanks! @Kaity I would not mind helping generating some ideas if you want to message me.

@zudrush I'm trying to point out the mindset that is really trapping you from getting those things that you want. You have made up your mind on relocating. If you get there and don't find them, then will you move again? I live in a fairly small town myself. I do drive to a large city over an hour away and get some opportunities for my business. However, I have developed many things here that have allowed me to find so much abundance that I hardly even need to get anything from the large city. But only because I changed my way of how I was looking at it. I realized what I had to do to find that abundance. I don't mean you any harm with my questions. I realize it might have sounded redundant with the questions, but I was hoping for you to see what I meant that way. There is a massive amount of wealth and prosperity available if you are willing to look for it. Even the fact that you are on the internet with me here tells me how much of this abundance you have access too. Think of all of the billions of people you can access here.

@Hansu I over indulged in some dried dragon fruit today lol. But I typically buy some as a treat every now and then. I see it as a really good replacement to soda and candy. When you go to buy it though watch out for the sugar and other things that article mentioned. Some get a lot of crap added to them that is just competently unneeded. No problem! I would recommend investing in some things like organic cashews, almonds, walnuts, etc. Lots or amazing nuts that are packed with nutrients. One of my favorite snacks, but it does get a bit expensive. I recommend buying bulk if you can.

Spending some time learning adobe premier and Photoshop today. This is pretty fun today actually. It was a much needed change that I needed to add into my infrastructure. I am approaching this with a better master mindset and it does feel really good. I am excited to see how I progress with this stuff in the future. I think it will be a really cool skill to have. I learned that I enjoy photography, or I at least have some talent in it. I am going to play around with it a bit more and see where it takes me. I never really did much with the photos I would take, but now I am seeing how I could use them to inspire the world. Kind of cool thing I would have never thought I could possibly find some passion in. I am going to keep trying at it and see how it goes. I think it will be really cool to add that into things like hiking and other cool places. It would be a good hobby for me to enjoy and use creatively. Feeling pretty good today. It is really good to be refreshed like this doing work. I have been a bit stressed it seemed like the last couple days, but I am more at ease today. The sun is out and it is a good day to work on some projects. I am going to do a bit of research for the LPC and do some extra reading most likely today too, but I will see how it goes with learning premier and PS as far as time goes.

If it is really bothering you that much and you get nothing from the project, then you could consider just dropping the project all together. As your well being should be a top priority. On the other hand it could be worthwhile to just face it head on. Experience it and really feel into what is happening with it. Try to focus in on your breathing, when the feeling arises as well. I have found pretty good success with those two things. If you are not already getting enough exercise and eating clean, then I really suggest doing that. Exercise will really help tone down anxiety drastically.

I'm not suggesting to wait for them to change. What are you expecting the new location to have? What does that look like though? What environment is going to permit those things? Would you consider doing it, if nothing was stopping you?

You are relying on circumstances to create opportunities for you. While that could be great if you ended up getting some that way, the likeliness is not that great. You are going to want to create these opportunities for yourself if you really want something. What do you want to do most? What is really holding you back right now? What new opportunities would you look for somewhere new?

@Hansu This has pretty much all of the info you need. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/dried-fruit-good-or-bad#section6

@StarStruck I have flat out just not answered people, when they have mentioned stuff trying to poke at what I do for a living. It really all depends on who is asking you the question. I would recommend you watch Leo's video on how to not give a fuck what people think. It really helped me break past that more. I still have more levels to go though.

Having a pretty good day so far today. I kind of doubt myself slightly about attaining the goals, but I know that if I really put everything into it, then the rewards would be massive. I think it is wise to analyze what I am doing though to really come up with the best route of what I want to do. I know that fear and doubt are going to arise though. But part of me still knows that it is just useless thoughts. I do need to figure out a better strategy to bring in some extra money with the amount of time I am putting towards my reselling business. Kind of wish I had already hired before this, but I suppose I need to bring this to the top of my list of things that I need to do. It will probably eat at my time heavily for a bit, but will really be worth it in the end. I just simply cannot get to everything at this rate with the amount of time I am putting in on it. Hopefully sales increase a bit fairly soon, but it is steady enough for now. Going to try and spend a little extra time to relax this weekend, but I have been really putting in the work these last couple of weeks. I feel like I have been doing really good all around. I did kind of ditch a couple habits I was into, but I can see now they were not as high of a priority. I do think that I am doing optimal stuff to make myself well and keep my body healthy. I still want to do more research on what I can do for improving my performance all around. More nootropics will probably be worthwhile of researching. I only have 3 I am taking currently and they seem to work quite well.

@kamill He wants what he thinks is best for you. The problem with that is you're going to have to carve your own path in life. Listening to someones directions is just going to get your further from your path you really want to take.

What do you want to do for your life purpose? You can make the choice to bail out of that stuff and pursue it, but that is up to you. Most people are going to encourage you to get a regular good paying job.

Dried fruit is a nice treat every now and then. I like to have a variety of nuts on hand. One of my favorites lately is to have a fresh pineapple too.
