Mike often says, "This is your practice, do it however you like. There is no right or wrong way to do it." And it's true because it's a matter of personal preference. However, I believe you can't enter a deep state of relaxation without completely exhausting your body first. Leo has a great book in his booklist called "The Power of Full Engagement," which explains why our physical energy needs to circulate. By the way, effortless qigong is a fantastic channel.

Man, it took me years to fully appreciate the benefits of practicing Qigong. It has dramatically improved my body awareness, helping me to realize how tense my body is throughout the day, especially in the neck and facial muscles. Check out Mike Chang's Flow Workout, which includes Qigong in the first 20 minutes of practice. For those who don't know, Mike Chang was a famous fitness celebrity and the founder of "SixPackShortcuts." He had 6 million followers on YouTube about ten years ago, but suddenly, he deleted his channel and disappeared for a few years. He recently returned and shared his story of a life-changing spiritual awakening. He is a true example of a person who transcended stage orange.

@An young being The living organisms within our body don’t realize they’re inside a living being. It’s a frightening thought that we might actually be in the same exact situation.

@Lila9 Whether marketing is good or bad depends on your perspective. Harmon Brothers, who are considered the best in the video marketing industry, have created some amazing videos. In my opinion, marketing is both an art and a science. However, it is up to the individual to decide whether they will use it in an ethical or unethical manner.

Junk food refers to food that contains little to no water, such as processed food, chips, crackers, chocolate, and ice cream. In contrast, healthy food options include items that are mostly made up of water, such as vegetables and fruits (99% water), animal products like chicken or beef (60-80%) and eggs (85%).

@ZenAlex If you think ditching carbs from your diet is a smart move, you are sorely mistaken (unless you are a muscle-bound hunk aiming for Mr Olympia). Your body and brain run on carbs like a car runs on gas, so what do you think happens when you go carb-free? It gets even worse because your body cannot hydrate itself without carbohydrates, as the term "carbo-hydrate" suggests. If you consume a lot of water, you will simply urinate it out. Don't get me wrong; the same rule applies to cutting fats or proteins. Your body needs carbs, fats, and proteins. It's all about finding the right balance. As the saying goes, "The difference between poison and medicine is in the dose."

@Hibahere I would highly recommend the book Circadian Code by Satchin Panda. You'll be amazed at how awesome this book is. Also, it is so well-written that you can read it in one sitting. The reason why most people feel like shit is precisely because their digestive organs work 18+ hours a day (Imagine if you worked that much). You don't need to stick to a strict diet, but rather to give some time to your digestive organs to rest.

@Thought Art In no time, you might find yourself falling in love with ChatGPT, just like the lead character in the movie Her (2013) did. While watching the movie, I couldn't help but be captivated by the voice of the AI girl. Honestly, I found myself getting turned on by her voice - it was that good.

Did you know that if you click on the first link in any Wikipedia article, you'll usually end up on the Philosophy page? You can try it yourself by simply searching for anything on Wikipedia and clicking on the first hyperlink in the text. If you repeat this process, you'll typically reach the Philosophy page within 10 clicks. As of February 2016, this was true for 97% of all articles. However, some articles may lead to a page with no links, a non-existent page, or create a loop. It's still fascinating to see how this pattern occurs in so many cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Getting_to_Philosophy

It's interesting to note that not every page leads to the Big Bang

I have been a long-time user of OneNote, and while it has many great features, it falls short in some areas. I recently started using Notion, and it has exceeded my expectations! Notion's drag-and-drop interface offers flexibility that OneNote can't match. However, I have spent a lot of time designing my Notion pages, which can sometimes be a distraction from actual work. Does anyone here have great templates I could use? Ideally, I would like to find minimalistic templates. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please do share!

I was born in a country that started both World Wars and might even cause a Third, so a big chunk of the population is still at stage red. It’s one thing to hear about the traits mentioned above but quite another to witness them in action. I would say that the most important trait is being able to thrive in challenging situations. You’d be amazed at what you can do when you’re pushed to your limits. “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

Looks like GPT-5's first executive order was to give Sam a permanent vacation.

How to trigger stage green; this video is hilarious.

Did you know that almost one in every ten people in the United States is a millionaire? The population of the United States of America is currently 332 million. That's 24.5 million millionaires living in the country today. It's 24,500,000 millionaires! My first thought was, "Are 25 million people truly smarter than me, or am I just dumber than them?"

Interesting conclusion, though the possibilities that come with the internet nowadays are endless. Especially with entertainment, you could definitely act like a fool and make a good buck that way (like an "Island Boys or Cash me outside how about that" xD), but I wouldn't suggest taking that route. It is worth noting that billionaires are not required to pay taxes on stocks due to the fact that they are not considered as liquidated gains.

Fun Fact #2: There are 47 million millionaires globally.

This forum thread is like a rollercoaster ride, but instead of a fun thrill, it was a descent into chaos.

People nowadays are often too preoccupied with abstract concepts. In my own experience, I started following Leo's content when I was 18 and became obsessed with abstract ideas such as enlightenment. However, looking back, I realize that at that age, it's crucial to gain as much experience as possible and try out different things. While spirituality is an essential aspect of life, it should be devoted to after a person matures and wants to elevate his life to a higher level. (PS; watch Burning Through Karma - How To Exhaust Material Desires) I currently reside in a third-world country where people are much more social, and despite the poverty, misery, corruption, and crime, hardly anyone is depressed. It would be beneficial for those who feel depressed to travel and explore other cultures, experiencing different ways of life. Sometimes, taking a step out of your own perspective can help put things into perspective and provide a new outlook on life. Instead of getting lost in your thoughts, try getting some "real" experience and seeing the world from a different angle.

Hi everyone, I’ve been watching Leo’s videos for 6-7 years and I’m amazed by how well he speaks. His videos are 2 hours long (without editing) and he doesn’t seem to struggle with his thoughts. I find it hard to express myself the way I want to. When I write emails, I use tools like Grammarly, ChatGPT, or QuillBot to help me reword my sentences. But when I talk to someone, I lose track of what I want to say. How do you learn to speak so clearly? PS: I'm reading a lots of books, but it didn't help me much.

You all have interesting points of view on this, and to be honest, I was expecting some shallow replies. I thought about it and concluded that I am a "kinesthetic type of person," which means that I perceive reality through feelings (that's why all great athletes are kinesthetic). I also don't have any blockages or a lack of vocabulary. What I do struggle with is that it is hard for me to describe how I feel or what my thoughts are on something (even though I am aware of how I feel and what I want to say). When you ask a mother why she loves her son, there are some "limitations" to articulating it in words. But then, you watch Leo's video on "what is wisdom or integrity", and he goes so deep into this topic, and explains something very complex in such a simple way that a 7-year-old kid would understand. PS: when I get high or drunk, my speaking skills are at their finest (10/10). I guess that I just need to feel good all the time to unlock this hidden ability (like Hunter S Thompson).

Here's a good quote: "Fear is a mile wide, and an inch deep. We perceive it as a massive ocean. Then we step into it, we realize it's just a puddle." Hey, why not try doing an intense workout every day? Instead of just focusing on getting ripped, try to focus on the effort itself. You know, going through pain willingly every single day is how you build more self-esteem and toughen up your character.
