  1. I did ask a similar question before, except in regards to lying down doing meditation. Hopefully some of the responses from there are helpful (:
  2. He already did (Sameness vs. Difference episode)
  3. I actually bought the Life Purpose Course and will be working on it soon
  4. Well, that should come as no surprise. Human beings are constantly barking up the wrong tree
  5. One other thing I didn’t mention is I actually did ask this question before, just on another topic. You can read the answer from other user here. Hopefully all these different perspectives you have been given will ease your mind about this.
  6. I also highly recommend Leo’s video on body awareness. This is a foundational episode, especially for those suffering with mental conditions such as you and me. This will also help deepen your meditation and yoga practices. I just watched this episode yesterday; throughout the day I already started to notice just how often I clench my fist and raise my shoulders unconsciously. Also, I’ve dealt with eczema ever since I was a baby, and throughout my life I would always start itching my face, neck, hands, etc. whenever I was in a stressful situation. Becoming more aware of your own triggers and signs before they become too big to handle is key!
  7. This is true from my experience. When I was a newbie I decided to jump into a 10-day silent retreat by myself at home. I only completed 9; most of the time was spent sleeping and overthinking. This is not to say it was a complete failure. You can actually learn through your failures what you are and are not ready for and adjust your plan accordingly.
  8. Many know him to be a killer in the ring, but he has a side to him which is meticulously introspective and showcases a spectrum of success and failure.
  9. @Vagos Damn, you have one hell of a plan there! I admire your tenacity. That right there, what you said, that is your first step to awakening. You’ve got this. My advice is to take the SSRIs in the meantime. Nobody is forcing you to take them forever, so that right there should be reassuring. But also don’t be in a rush to get off them. This work is long term, so be strategic
  10. Please don’t do follow this advice. I don’t care if one person claims they’re successful doing it or not... it’s still a gamble you’re playing on yourself. I’ve personally done this a few times, and the last time was not pleasant (I’ll not go into the details of that). Otherwise, for those who want to get off them, please do the mature thing and let your doctor know. There can be huge consequences for going off them cold turkey, especially if you’ve been on them for a long time since your body has been accustomed to it.
  11. I’ve been in your shoes worrying if this, that, or there will prevent me from getting enlightened. Ultimately you are your own obstacle, nothing else is. And who goes “there”? Please be careful with this work because you can make many wrong assumptions like I have and waste a lot of time.
  12. Leafly Largest cannabis website. You can check user ratings and reviews for many cannabis strains. Also contains useful educational articles about cannabis. https://www.leafly.com/ (While you’ll mostly read up about cannabis use for medical and recreational use, I have no doubt that it can also be used for spiritual and creativity purposes if you are mature enough and ready to use it for that.)
  13. It was mentioned here that it’s potentially a good idea to have a new sub-forum for society and politics. Leo answered and said he’s not sure if there’s enough demand. Also, if Leo does create a sub-forum for it, I thought it would also be a good idea to expand it to discussion about the environmental topics as well. What do you guys think? Let’s see how high the demand is by casting your vote here
  14. I highly recommend watching Leo’s episode on “Body Awareness - How To Relax Your Body”. For some reason I missed out on this episode; I haven’t gotten around to it until today. This is a foundational episode, especially for people like you and I who overthink and have trouble taking consistent action. Most importantly, work on the root cause of why and what causes you to be paralyzed by analysis. Otherwise you can keep getting excited with new habits, routines, concepts, etc. but they won’t penetrate deep into your entire being. You’ll end up doing these habits for a year, but then out of seemingly nowhere you quit. Awareness alone is curative
  15. That’s fine. Be the change you want to see in the world, as Gandhi said.
  16. My mom will only watch/listen if I invite her to do so with me. It’s always a video that I’ve already watched and felt the need to share with her. Otherwise it’s just me. However, I’m becoming more aware that sharing and/or watching videos with others could be a major distraction, because they don’t absorb/ take action on the information seriously and forget about it.
  17. My uncle obsessively cleans his Porsche everyday because he loves it so much. Is there much of a difference?
  18. Do what works for your own unique circumstances. For example, they say peanut butter is a great source of protein and is healthy. But I am extremely allergic to it and could die just by having one bite of it.
  19. I highly recommend watching Athlean-X if you’re serious about learning the ins and outs of not only strength training, but also the science and biomechanics
  20. @Leo Gura Have you ever talked in front of your camera to shoot an episode, only to find out that you forgot to hit record
  21. I’m autistic, so I can say from direct experience that my path is different than most people in general by default.
  22. I bet you never experienced a real hug then
