Also: love what you do

I am starting to develop my practice in playing drums. You don't come with the perfect practice right away, that doesn't exist. But you can work on the basics and develop a custom practice from there. Well, my goal is to play awesome grooves in the drums, and being able to compose different grooves for different parts in a song. So what should i practice? reading drums in music sheets, writing drum patterns in music sheets, composing drums in music sheets, and, of course, playing. Some mechanical training of technique is also important. My best practice so far: taking a complex groove that i like and can't play yet. Next breaking it down into simple-practicable patterns. Mastering those simple patterns. Then coming back to the original piece and playing it effortless. That simple procedure requires actually looot of skill. While you do that practice, composing grooves for your music should be increasingly effortless.

You may aswell need to train your body to assimilate properly complex carbs if your diet always consisted of simple sugars. It is speculation btw, but again, you can test it for yourself, which is the best part.

But you can actually experience it effects on your mood and energy moments after its consumption. Experiment with that. See the difference of eating "simple sugars" vs "complex carbs". Eat them before workout.

Something that also happened recently: I bought flaxseed oil at the store and when i tasted it was awfull, so bitter, uneatable. In that case i obviously didn't continue the consumption and dump it out in the toilet. It was probably at the mercy of sunlight/heat/air and so it denatured some molecules making it uneatable.

@Truth-Seeker Exactly, i would argue that this is the top 1 key really. Plus having some knowledge of what you are eating aswell so you can associate undesirable or desirable efects. I am eating lots of peanut butter these days (a slice of whole grain bread, peanut butter and banana slices on top) and i think that generates mucous in my respiratory tract. So i am not descarting that seeds can have an undesirable impact, but where else will i get the beneficial efects of seed? like the healthy fats? And considering this is very important aswell imo. Now i am going to read y'all interesting responses so i can educate myself better.

This is really encouraging man, thank you

@Julian gabriel Not really clear about it. It's like a state of receiving, allowing. You allow the energies of people around you, so you express freely aswell. A place where you can put your guard down.

Maybe the so called femenine desire? I'll share my dream of last night: Yesterday i had this astonishing dream (lucid in part) where, after flirting with a woman from the reception of an institution, I decided to take walk through a gallery. Nobody else was there, completely alone, at dawn. 5 am in the morning with the first sunlights. I saw this amazing store, taken out of a sci fi movie, so i couldn't resist but to try to walk in despite being closed to clients. I was not feeling like making a mistake. Obviously the store alarm went off and the gallery shut the doors immediately, as if it was a jewelry museum. So i started walking like nothing happened. Then an emergency red light started shining: the gallery was on its mission to catch me no matter what. Some artifacts peeked out from the ceiling and started spreading a gas. At this point I was in big trouble, completely locked in. Kept walking a bit more but, since everything was so damn insistent into catching me, i started feeling like surrendering. The gas started making me fall asleep, until it knocked me out completely. Next act, two soldiers were dragging me by the leg (lol) and sending me to some place. Finally I was admitted to a nursing room. They imprisoned me in a chair and a nurse that was waiting for me took a syringe and was about to prick me, but no to inject something but to extract something that needed to be removed. I was panicking a little bit at this point. So she put the syringe in my belly anyways, but not the needle... the whole syringe. Suddenly i woke up from the dream... (Yes, precisely like matrix!) Conlusion? maybe that i need to trust more in people's intentions. Lack of trust made me distance myself from many people. Being in community is certainly a desire. Hope you can extract some value from this story cheers

Of the plenty psychedelics out there, only acid does that to you?

*slightly out of topic but f it: It is for some reason that you choose acid and not mushrooms for example?

VVV ΛΛΛ i find those two comments to be correlated, just wanted to mark it

forced by who??

Can you share your values? just out of curiosity...

Just read this post after eating a banana smothie with lots of flaxseeds. I read the comment of @Truth-Seeker and i was like 'oh shit' but then read @undeather's comment and ahh relief

What kind of music do you call popular music?

Really nice!

Such a broad question you asked

The whole premise of this forum is to create an amazing life for oneself So see what you can do with it

How to not take life for granted? By not taking it for granted, lol. I get why you ask though, but there is really no way around it

I find extremely interesting that you've opened yourself to that. Didn't read your other comments on this post, but i assume you've go through a lot...

Resuming my previous post: I catched covid two weeks ago and two days ago post-covid symptoms kiked in. Which is not as urgent as a stroke, but i need to take care of it as soon as posible. Went to the public hospital today, but a consultation with the doctor is available tomorrow morning. So i am researching on internet what can i do in the meanwhile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgbr1IDvens (in spanish, sry) The video gives some actionable steps for overall healing of post covid symptoms. Which are: sleeping well, eating well, and light exercises (surprise). Other non conventional recomendation: Breathing exercises, full inhale and relax.. I am chosing this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGU-p64UOzA but it may be to much for someone who never does breathing exercise. Pulmonary thromboembolism is a very common post covid symptom. Doctors give you specific anticoagulants. Not having that today. So looking for alternatives i found some foods that have anticoagulant properties: garlic, onion, turmeric, ginger, vitamin e, ginkgo biloba, omega 3, and more... some of them dilate blood vessels, so it helps blood clots -frequent after covid- not obstruct circulation. But there are thousands of compounds at play, complex... complex... My mistake was to do heavy exercises sessions when i should have done light ones. I plunged into ice water and i am a nebwie, i remember my lungs feling overwhelmed in that moment, and so my heart. I also tried my normal calisthenic routine, also a newbie there. My body is not properly conditioned besides post-covid. Easily the story could've been very different.... It surely triggered more difficulties for my body. Thing that i did right: Eating well, almost a 10 there. Sleeping well also, but now is being interrupted again, which is known to be a post-symptom.

Same here!! Heck yeah

I am having difficulties post-covid as well, syntoms started 2 days ago. Heart beat feels weak, difficulty catching air and overall fatigue. That can happen even if your Covid syntoms were mild. I have catched covid with just one vaccine. Now realizing the rewards i missed by not having the three shots. What to do with long term syntoms (talking with your doctor): https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/long-term-effects-of-coronavirus-long-covid/ Read carefuly and always consult with your doctor "Role of Creatine in the heart: Health and Disease". I was feeling my heart rate very weak today so i drinked water with a creatine powder, feeling better now. But this doesn't mean that its healthy or not for your organs, that's why you should consult your healthcare assistant first. And have good meals, that's certanly true (although also talk with a doctor about that) Things that i have yet to talk with a doctor: Does intermitent fasting can help with post-covid conditions? (i am expecting a big no)- Does creatine suplementation can help post-covid damaged organs? I am going to prepare and eat a good meal today and then talk to a doctor, gonna report back. EDIT: Just got back from the public hospital, doctor shifts for post-covid syntoms are available for tomorrow Exercise, cold showers and anything stressfull is in standby as they worsen my conditions. Maybe just a little yoga here and there. The thing is, this post syntoms started two weeks after my first infection, so i went living my normal life thinking everything was fine, otherwise i wouldn't do cold showers, that's nuts if your heart is at its limit...
