I experienced this for a long time in the past when I was grinding shooters every day. I wasn't conscious of what I was doing. Once I became aware of my behaviour, I was able to change. First, I turned into a good loser. I'd congratulate the other player(s) even if I didn't want to and over time I grew into that. if you win a game, you want the other person to be kind and respectful. I became what I wanted my opponent to be. In my case, shooters have so much potential to make you rage. There is campers, lag, bad teammates, strong opponents, bad spawns, toxic community etc. I just make the best out of the situation I am currently in. You have to allow yourself to lose and make mistakes. Only winning wouldn't make you grow as much as losing. I still struggle to get over a stupid mistake sometimes because I know I could have done better. But games are so fast-paced, you have to let go. When something happens over and over again you will learn to not make that mistake.

@Michael569 I absolutely agree with everything you said. I don't know why I posted it the way I did, creating paranoia was the last thing I wanted. It is a very interesting topic and something we have to be aware of. What I meant to say is that for me personally (and probably everyone else) getting rid of all the heavy metal sources is not sustainable and it upset me a bit at that moment. Instead, we should focus on the main sources and get rid of them as you said and additionally consider detoxing in a safe manner.

I am so grateful music exists

You can go down a rabbit hole with heavy metals, you'll find it everywhere. Guess I'll die.

I don't even want to go into too much detail. In short, it's an area I just have to work on and it's more important to me than anything else in the world. I will and cannot give up before I succeed because it'll open so many doors for me. Even with all of this driving me, I don't want to do it anymore sometimes because it's so emotionally challenging. How do you not lose hope? I feel like I need to be some kind of John Rambo to keep going. It's something I worked on for so many years. I tried dozens of different things, looked at it from so many different angles, spent a lot of money on expertise. I keep going back to things I tried in the past to see if I missed something.

Pence had a fly on his head, I love this so much lmao

It's not even close...she already destroyed him and he destroyed himself

@JosephKnecht Great picture.

@smurf88 Thanks for sharing the link

I have people in my life who, no matter what I do, keep turning small problems into huge dragons, it's remarkable. They get caught up in negativity and it spirals up. They take zero responsibility for the things that happen to them. I can apologize, say it's my fault, ask how I can fix it, offer solutions. But they keep turning me into a devil because of a simple little mistake. They attack me with unrelated nonsense I did years ago. And what's even funnier is that they believe I am causing all this. And when I ignore them or walk away it gets even worse. So I "have" to stay in the situation for them to verbally attack me while trying to stay calm. They have no self-reflection so it keeps happening over and over again. One of them is a family member, should I really just cut him out of my life?

At around minute 8, Leo is guiding you through a simple but effective visualisation. While doing this I realized in which areas I need to give myself more love and understanding.

I think I got it and it blows my mind. Somehow a big chunk of my self-interference just disappeared and I am so excited to just go with the flow, it's that simple. I always thought of no free will as something terrible. This is so liberating.

If you know exactly what is creating all this suffering for you, that's great because you can work on it. Easier said than done but knowing what you know is a good starting point. Please don't hesitate to work with a professional. The Wim Hof breathing method can create powerful changes to your mood. I use this when I am in a bad place to see that there's something outside of it.

I love it how I can rewatch one of Leo's videos after a couple of months and look at it in a completely different way. "If you read a book the second time, you don't see something in it you didn't see before, you see something in yourself that wasn't there before." - Bob Proctor (?)

This debate is hard to watch

Honestly, I'd just ignore it. You could be a kind and loving person and maybe over time get him to change a tiny bit but you can't save them all.

What do you think about tattoos?

This is exactly what I felt after one of my trips and it left me with such a strong feeling of terror I couldn't calm down for 2 days and now reading about this again makes me realize that I am still battling with this. I like to believe that it's something you grow into.

I am also in the process of finding my life purpose and made the painful realization that hobbies/leisure activities you are passionate about don't necessarily make a good life purpose because there's potentially a lot of risks involved. About 8 years ago I really liked the idea of being/becoming a professional gamer but never worked towards it for many reasons. Whether or not I could have made it, I will never find out. You don't have to sacrifice anything, it's entirely possible to find something that makes you feel fulfilment and meaning at the same time. It's just that most people out there don't have this which could make it seem like an impossible thing to achieve. As you go through life you will be able to narrow it down. Maybe you learn that you dislike sports, working inside or for other people and those are valuable pieces of information.

Love this but it feels so counterintuitive to me. I always put it on a pedestal and it gets in the way. That's actually an interesting thing to work towards.

@Opo Read about krill oil, it's not as fragile as fish oil and because it's made from smaller animals you don't have to worry about heavy metals as much.

There's information out there suggesting that as long as the fish you are eating contains more selenium than mercury (which is the case for salmon), it's safe to consume.

This thread made me think. Maybe I am eating too much tuna. Thanks everyone.
