Totally agree! Also make sure to take it slow during the negative phase, when going back to the starting position(lowering the weight). I tend to see guys dropping weights way too quickly. Take it slow, savour the pain even if it means less reps, the quality of each is incomparable though

@TBurg82 this was the beginning of my relationship 6 years ago. And it prevailed for a long time. Give it time, this is perfectly natural for a shy, introverted individual but even extroverts. We care about our partners so much that by fearing we disappoint their expectations, we completely block our natural flow of energy..resulting in things such as you described. Partnership needs time, before the chemistry is stronger, before you develop mutual trust, friendship and deep passion for each other. Don't ever rely on drugs. It will backfire terribly on you, screwing you up beyond repair. Learn to use all your senses and have a really god foreplay, don't go straight for the best. Make sure your partner is satisfied at least twice before you even think about penetration. However as said above, in case you are overweight and unfit, look into an exercise routine and your nutrition. Salty, fatty and sugary foods kill your libido. Avoid staying up late night and over-masturbation

@Prabhaker not disclaiming health benefits of Yoga at all, it is incredible and everybody should do it! However it is not enough to prevent the loss of bone matter.

@PrabhakerI would dare to disagree with the first part of what you said. Lifting weight is incredibly important for several reasons: * Prevents Bone Loss - Osteoporosis, that occurs naturally and especially fast for lifelong meat and dairy consumers can be stopped and even reversed. Unfortunately no amount of cardio or yoga comes even close to what weightlifting achieves here. Actually the skinnier the person is the more important it is to lift weights because their knee joints are not exposed to any weight. * Another reason is to prevent testosterone loss in men and estrogen in women. *It helps to prevent dementia and Alzheimer by stimulating neuron connections in brain and release of serotonin and dopamine. The only withdrawal of weight training is the muscle pain afterwards but that goes away once you get more regular. And of course if lifting is done wrong, it can have catastrophic and long term consequences, on that I will agree. Many intellectuals despise people doing weights but that has to do with many muscleheads ignoring their education in the first place, not the muscle mass having a negative effect on your brain function, far the opposite unless you are extreme.

@ElenaO I don't mean going all juices. But in terms of fasting. A fasting is like an internal cleansing. You get rid of accumulated toxins , clean out your intestinal system and sort of "re-start" your mind and body. If you combine fasting with doing enema 1-3 times a day you will be a new person. Yes, speaking from own experience Juices are to keep the flow of vitamins and minerals however not to over-strain the digestion. To make sure you are really well supplied, look into Algae ( Spirulina, Chlorella) . Algae were first plants on this planet and they contain ridiculous amounts of Nutrients. Chlorella and Spirulina are like 65% of pure amino acids. Unlike animal protein they don't have to be broken down in order to be utilised but can go straightly to where they are needed. Not to mention they have a full spectrum of all vitamins and minerals a human body needs Incredible stuff!! I have ordered Chlorella from LiveGive. This is a wholefood supplement sponsored by Hipocrates Health Institute. Unlike the synthetic shit supplements out there, this is a pure high quality supplement. It helps to prevent hunger by keeping you well nourished, helps prevent premature ageing, and cleansing. People who consume algae daily have much higher content of heavy metal molecules in their pee which means body is getting rod of toxicity much much faster. I wish i have known this 15 years ago. Another incredible plant is Wheatgrass. Based on a research and teaching of Hipocrates Health institute, 2 ounces of wheatgrass is equal to 5 pounds of green leafy veggies. However the wheatgrass needs to be freshly grown which can be a bit of a challenge. Powder works fine as well but not even close to efficiency of the fresh plant. Make sure to start easy with it takes time for your body to get used to it and it tastes like eating a grass, so mix it with your smoothies. And final advice for detox, do Infrared Sauna. The amount of toxins released in a 30 minute session is nearly 90% higher than regular dry sauna ( again Hipocrates Health institute teaching)

I'd add several suggestions: Try looking into adding Magnesium to your diet. Muscle weakness and loss of mood can be attributed to lack of Magnesium in blood stream. It is also good for generally calming you, decreasing blood pressure and reducing anxieties. There is an excellent product on the market called Calm. It is unsweetened and highly digestible. Huge amount of global population is deficient in magnesium simply because we have drained all of it out of the soil, the products we buy simply don't have much left anymore. Do you drink coffee? Sometimes caffeine crash can be a cause of weakness and tiredness or meals high in processed carbohydrates. Another cause may be that your adrenal glands are being burned out through stress, caffeine, over-working.... Have a look into fasting with nothing but vegetables juices ( juiced not purchased) to cleanse your intestinal tract. This has been discussed here multiple times. I think @Siim Land has given some very helpful suggestions in the past. A rather unpopular but helpful method could be doing an Enema to cleanse from within. However I know that this is not socially acceptable so i am just throwing it out there as a suggestion. I suggest you check out Markus Rothkranz's video on this. Is there anything in your life that you particularly don't enjoy doing yet keep on engaging in? Perhaps these are bodily signals pointing to something much deeper, on a spiritual level

As long as she has this "trauma" about her body, this topic will be a mental minefield and it will probably remain so for decades to come. (I am saying trauma with "" because it is not something that could not be changed.) As soon as you subconsciously check another woman's bum and she notices, here you go again...down spiral of jealousy and self pity. Maybe not as tragic but it will always be there as her trigger button. I agree with @LiakosN, you did well to tell her that and now you both know about it. Next step is to work on her mindset. You said she is open to personal growth, good. Not many people are. And physical looks, especially body is not a freaking disease or a birth deffect. Even if her "proportions" aren't ideal she can still have a beautiful figure if she works on herself, I've seen it done times and times over. Seen my fat elementary girl classmates and my jaw dropped when they turned out to be ridiculously hot year after ( or vice versa :)) . But I think the real growth can only occur once she accepts herself as she is, no amount of gym and diet can change the mind.

Watching Leo's videos is not going to give you much results unless you take an action. An abundance of information can be confusing but than, the guy took years to put all that together, do you expect to suck all the juice and get Self Actualized in a month? Self Actualisation is a life long journey ending on your death bed The beauty of this is that the more you learn, the more you see how blind and uneducated you really are, I guess that happens to most of us. Start watching videos that resonate with you the deepest and do a deeper research on those. Especially those where you are generally lacking. Don't watch too many just for the sake of taking as much knowledge as possible. Watch one, make notes on it and study it deeper. What is stopping you from uncovering other sources? Leo talks about a lot of other people, watch their content as well and compare. Over time, you'll see first bits of a giant jigsaw being put in place. Commit yourself to a lifelong study and growth. 1. Your first step should be to implement a daily meditation habit to calm your neurotic mind. 2. Second is to read daily and become a lifelong learner. 3. identify all your neurotic bad habits and work to remove them 4. search for more positive habits to put in place 5. work on your fitness and nutrition, unhealthy body cannot successful self actualize. 6. be ready to invest in yourself. 7. Be Patient !!

Thanks guys, awesome advices! I've browsed several bio-shields, various metal necklaces that should help to protects. They vary anywhere from 30-300£. Any thoughts on how to pick and how to recognise a scam product? Can you share links to the ones you are using if any?

Follow your inner voice. Everybody in here is different and we all have our own struggle. What may come as way out to one is a doom to another. So far you have been following your bliss and look where it took you. At 21 you know your purpose and you are working on it, you are probably twice as developed already than most of your classmates and friends. They don't understand you because they only follow the herd. Don't judge them, they don't know any better. They don't know that there are other things out there. Having worked with many Spanish and Italian, I will be as cheeky to claim that your country is primarily focused on making impression and looking good than an actual growth. You being different makes you the black sheep and that's fine. Just keep doing what you are doing. Follow your values, they are the guiding light in the dark Utilize your strengths Give something back even if you do not get anything in return. Deep inside you already know what you want so go for it. When I re-joined the university at 27 to study Nutrition Science which is my passion, I felt a deep happiness inside near the heart. This was the sign that I made the right decision despite what others are telling me. The voice inside "was celebrating." Follow it and you will not be lost. If your friends don't understand you, cut them out. You don't need naysayers. Surround yourself with inspiring individuals. You only need few.

Maybe we'll see once Juno's power runs out? Same as Cassini who will end it's journey in depths of Saturn. I think that's pretty amazing way to say goodbye!

I have wasted 5 years of my life studying business thinking i am getting myself prepared for life. Bullshit... I am utilising less than 2% of it. They teach you a complete horse-crap , useless theories from people who have 0 experience in business and you can learn all of them on your own. Outdated case studies, boring lectures.. Your dad wants you to have a "good life" just like my dad and just like every dad that sends their kind to "good school". He means it well because he doesn't know any better. Grow up, get degree, get job, get married, retire die... Don't resign without having an escape plan but as it was suggested above, start devoting all your free time to what you love, cut all the crap that is not important like wasted evenings and idle socialising. You are still very young and haven't lost as much time yet. Go do what you love, nothing else is important.

@Jedd the life purpose course goes into a lot of detail about this.

a nice mix for not having to change songs all the time. Not sure if you're into that kind of music though.

in China, females have their bones in legs broken and re-assembled somehow and obviously this can ad couple centimetres, seems like an "enjoyable" method to try if you don't mind a bit of pain. General answer is no. Once you stop, that's it. At 25 you should have already achieved your max. Most people do before 21. Embrace it brother, don't suffer about something you cannot change There are much more important things in life.

@mudita fair enough

@pluto nice one. The variability is the key. We should altogether stop concerning ourselves about protein since it is literally everywhere. Once you stop eating meat and rice daily, you'll truly discover the miracle of natural foods

@ElenaO Seeds ( highest in flax, hemp, pumpkin, chia - all above 20%, pumpkin nearly 35% same as chicken) Nuts ( mostly between 10-18, best almonds and walnuts, avoid peanuts and cashew), green leafy vegetables ( not so much but than it is easy to consume large quantities) , cruciferous vegetables, sea weeds and algae ( spirulina 66%, chlorela 50-60, other dried sea weeds - you can buy them in many forms) Bee Pollen - this is a good alternative provided you are not allergic to pollen, contains nearly every nutrient needed for human body, powerful natural remedy, 23 amino acids that do not have ti be digested and broken down like meat but are ready to be used. Howeevr not recommended to use more than 30-60 days. Look at largest animals on earth, most of them don't eat meat. This is just a cultural brainwash that we need animal products to be strong and to sustain healthy bones and it is rubbish

Ok, so this one has been bugging me a lot for most of my life. How does one effectively approach random people and initiate the conversation? I know for some people this is completely flawless, I had friend who would just talk to about anybody and these people enjoyed it and liked him for being so open, but when I tried it I felt like a retard, having nothing to say, with creepy shy voice, seriously felt like child molester approaching 5 year old girl on a playground. For me this has been a part of my life holding me back a lot. Once in a conversation, I consider myself quite social and good discussion partner but the issue is with approaching people, like seeing a group of people having lunch that I'd love to join but feel to awkward doing anything. Not talking about girls ( as from attraction point of view), got that figured already but generally random people to spark conversation. People at work by water tank or coffee maker, at cantin, whatever.. Any tips from you extrovert people? What are your approach tips? How did you face your anxieties? Thanks a lot in advance for any tips !!

@mudita coconut oil is an oil just like any other, the deep molecular structure is not that different. It is still fat. Any fats when used for cooking become rancid and release free radical that oxidide your cells and can cause cancer in longterm. There is no "good fat" when it comes to cooking in high temperature. Dairy contains high levels of IGF(insuline growth factor) growth hormone which is a cause why young calf grows to be 2000 pounds, it has no place in human body. We are primarily herbivores as our digestion track is too long to get rid of the animal food fast enough because they start to decay. Even if the cows is the most organically fed on earth, the amounts of hormones are high for any human to process. We produce IGF when growing naturally however adding animal amounts is certainly not helping. Not to mention that animal protein increases the acidity of your organism, robing your bones of calcium to compensate for it hence causing even more sickness along the way. At the same time the very same protein blocks the absorption of the calcium in animal food so it stays in your digestive track, turning kidneys and bones into stones, that's why you see older animal eaters limping and walking funny with their joints lacking flexibility.

Are you in it for the money? Does acting mean fame, success and millions of dollars for you? If so, you're gonna be miserable for the rest of your life. Living your passion leads to a content and fulfilled life even when income is not good enough. Join night or weekend acting classes, any country has those nowadays. Once you get surrounded by likeminded people, you start to see the opportunities , their thinking becomes your thinking, opportunities will come your way, you attract what you think. Think negative and guess what will that bring you? If you don't have any marketable skills, maybe work on that first like learning MS Office, and some office skills just so that you can get a stable income and move forward, The Maslow Pyramid needs to be build from bottom up, missing brick will cause a collapse. Brian is not the only actor in the world. Look at Dwayne Johnson. He was earning millions in WWE before even considering acting career, Arnold as Leo suggested, a poor boy from Austrian farm village became 7 time Mr Olympia before considering acting job just listening to his heart and doing what he loved. Don't become someone else, listen to the voice within. Only you can hear it and it is specific for you only. Listen to it closely and it will guide you. And work on finding your top values, they are your compass, that which is not aligned with them needs to go. And if it took 15 years to make a breakthrough, is that a lot in scale of things? Let's say it would take you 15 years of practice to get your first acting job, would that be worth it?

I wanted to share a short story where Journaling helped me overcome a lot of anxiety, I was feeling about particular event. Though that maybe it would motivate someone to try the habit for themselves. I had a particular conference call at work that I felt anxious about without really realising why. The attendance was quite executive and since I was the one to lead it, I could hardly sleep the night before. Even meditation didn't help. So an hour prior to it, I took my journal where I only recently started adding daily contributions which so far didn't make much sense to me and typed: "Why am I so anxious about this"? As I started stating reasons and breaking one by one down into details, I realised that I was afraid of being ridiculed by people on the other side of the world that don't give a **** about me and that I don't give a **** about, yet I cared what they would think of me at that particular time. Getting this realisation , I though how stupid it is and that it is my ego feeling threatened and I started to feel my panic dissipating. I approached the call calm and prepared and it all went well. In the end it wasn't as painful as i though it to be. 90% of the fear was gone. So this showed me one of particular examples where Journaling can be powerful, just by putting the mess in your mind on a piece of paper.

How can i stay content with what is right now? I have recently discovered my LP and am very slowly moving the direction of it. Going back to Uni and doing a lot of self study. However I still feel like things are moving too slow, like there is something I have to be doing. I meditate and do daily visualisation and affirmations, repeating my LP to myself, yet sometimes I get anxious that I am not progressing enough. Any suggestion on how to stay grounded and content with the way things are? Thanks a big one!!!

Big truth! Once you stop doing gym just for the sake of getting over with it and jumping through exercises as fast as you can but instead start feeling through every set and rep, your body reacts in a different way. The pain and resistance are still there but easier to cope with and when you focus purely on the moment, your mind doesn't have time to come up with excuses why it doesn't want to be there, hence your gains are increased because you simply enjoy it more without all the stress.

@sheenp24 as long as you are bellow 60, I'd say you are bellow average which is great
