Disrespecting your elders going against the herd Having individual values that go against the values of the collective Putting your feet on the table Putting books on the ground

@Ethan_05 Imagine I extracted you from your house and plopped you inside the thicket of the rainforest and give you nothing but a water bottle and a knife. What are you gonna do now? Boom, now you're in the survival paradigm. It's do or die.

@Ethan_05 FOR SURE man. The survival paradigm is still here, it's just untapped. We can tap into it, but it requires you to willingly practice emotional labor. I just got back from a 5 mile run, and i still have a lot of studying to do + a 4 hour night class. For me, the more i do, the better i feel. Although i do have relaxation systems in place, so i'm not wearing myself out. Feels good to sleep at night

@Ethan_05 Go outside run a run, regardless of the weather. See how far you can push yourself. Then, when you come home all tired and worn out, remember how hard your ancestors worked every day just to make ends meet. (Sorry, this may not fit your post, but i felt that it needed to be said.)

@outlandish Indeed. I have a podcast mic and it picks up EVERYTHING... So i had to take the clock out of my room. Tik tok tik tok...

Suppressing your intuition will cost you more than you could imagine.

@Eric Tarpall Good points Eric!

@Eric Tarpall That's fair. Although, i must say that this method clears out a lot of negative projections.

Words like "Don't" , "Not" or "Can't" should be taken out of your vocabulary. Not for some airy fairy self help reasons, but just think about what you're doing when you say something like this. If we take a close look, when you say you "DON'T" want something to happen, the minds natural tendency is to project an image of the thing you are actively seeking to avoid! What happens when you tell a child, "Hey, DON'T touch that!" what is he/she most likely to do??? Of course the child is going to try and touch whatever object he/she is not supposed to! Instead, give yourself and others positive feedback and self talk and "Respond in the Positive" This way, the mind can project out a positive image to strive towards. This is especially important for anyone who wants to be a teacher, a coach, a mentor, or any type of guidance provider

@Roch What's your plan? 1, 3, 5 year plan?

@Shin @Shroomdoctor @Igor82 when you relapse

@Roch Question the underlying structures that are governing your behavior and theirs. Are they authentic? What could you do to make them more authentic? Is it time for you to have that difficult conversation with your mom/dad?

When you have a lot on your plate, and you are limited on time: 1.) Drain the shallows - minimize the friction between you and getting things done, so take care of the tasks that get you started, but aren't necessarily the most cognitively demanding. Examples include clearing up your workspace, cleaning your room, organizing your tasks so you know which order it's going to be done in. (Tip from Cal Newport's Deep Work) 2.) Create a To Do List with all of the things that need to get done. Consider which ones are "Could Do's" and which ones are "Should do's". Doing so will help you later on in down the road, and will alleviate some pressure if you are crunched on time.

@Shadowraix Good ones

@Shiva Please keep your hands to yourself when you're around the hot iron You see how that would impact what your cousins imagination compared to saying, "Don't touch that hot iron!"

Simulate chaos when it's unnecessary, so that when it IS necessary, you know how to behave and respond accordingly.

Tik tok tik tok Time is passing and you are here, doing what exactly???

@CreamCat Its like eating your greens. You don't like the taste, but you know it's what u need.

Feeling positively pulled toward some of my goals tonight, really wanting to work hard and be ahead of the curve, instead of struggling to catch up.

@outlandish Winning the cross country championships for my team, despite having a broken elbow. Flow followed by intense emotions of divine inspiration, joy, then lots of tears and camaraderie with old teammates

1.) When your whole body feels tight and you can remember the last time you were actually relaxed 2.) When you can't remember the last time you had a hard belly laugh was 3.) When you can't be the first one to give a compliment 4.) When you judge everything someone says before hearing them out 5.) When you don't give people the benefit of the doubt

@Haenir Are you doing Kriya? That should really calm your nerves. Also, have you discovered any tight muscles in your body that need to be worked on? Perhaps you're having stomach pain or tight shoulders, etc. Priming yourself before entering a key social situation is a good strategy. I did this yesterday before i had to talk to someone who stirs up resistance within me. Before i met them, i put my hands of my head and made sure i was breathing completely up and down my whole spine as well as feeling my feet on the floor.
