@NOTintoxicated You're probably much better off eating that opposed to the junk food. https://www.amazon.com/150-Healthiest-Foods-Earth-Surprising/dp/1592332285/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=150+healthiest+foods&qid=1616777369&sr=8-3 Grab this book and use it as a resource to pick quality ones. Very easy read and great for food ideas. Also, the book is like $4 shipped on ebay.

One big fear I have had is sky diving. I probably told myself a year ago I was going to do it. However, I am really considering it now. I want to continue to break out of my comfort zone. Not as much so physically anymore, but mentally. Another thing I want to do is just ask a girl in person for her number. I fell like that won't really be that hard. I notice more and more that I have done toastmasters that my confidence is much higher. I felt like doing it the other day, but I generally just don't know how to converse with strangers in general. That won't nearly be as difficult for me to do. I am fairly scared of the sky diving though to be honest. I hate elevators even for height still lol. Something about heights has always go to me. I have never been in an air plane either. I feel like this would liberate me of a lot of fear. I notice that I am starting to feel a lot more energy around working on my reselling business. The amount of hours I have been doing has just not been cutting it. I am doing slow and steady though. My performance is really starting to pick up though. I am going to keep getting all of this stuff pictured on a consistent basis. I am going to hit my goal of listing all of those posters. I decided to get a kettle bell for some at home work outs. I have not really been working out nearly as much. I am not really focused on just jogging all the time now. I feel like a lot of that was just like this discipline that I had built up. No doubt that helped a lot, but my last trip really broke me out of that. I was basically becoming robotic. I need to have a good amount of self love mixed with discipline. Being disciplined with the right things though. Having a balance that tends to my needs, but still pushes me. I am still working out for the most part, but not like how I was. I do want to jog still 1-2x a week. Have 1-2 days for toga days. Maybe a kettle bell workout day. Then I sprinkle in push ups and some weight lifting with those. Plus a day to rest fully. I notice that I am really interested in culinary stuff. From the gadgets to actually practicing a bit with getting good at making better food. I am still thinking about how I could maybe pursue that kind of passion. While I was talking about classes for my sister to take I was thinking of ones I would consider and that was one of them. I am going to spend some time researching what it would actually take to market and sell my own food products. I have a lot of skills built around this type of stuff already, so this might be interesting. I don't think my food in particular is all that fantastic since I only make a few items, but this is something I can expand on if I put the effort into it.

From what I have looked into the large fish contain a lot more heavy metals and toxins. Fish wish you want to eat smaller ones that give a lot of the benefits. Or better yet you could eat what those bottom feeders would eat like spirulina and algae. There is still nutrients in those larger fish. If you do decide to go with them, then I would make sure they are wild caught and not farmed fish. A big problem with fish now too is how much plastic is in the ocean. I had seen something recently saying by 2050 there will likely be more weight in plastic, then the weight of actual aquatic life in the oceans. This plastic gets broken down into little chunks called micro plastics. This gets loaded into these fishes and other aquatic life, then ends up in you.

Understanding the difference in quality for the items is crucial with any diet. For example eating a cheap egg vs. a organic pasture raised egg. Making those distinctions will allow you to thrive with mostly any diet. Then you need to figure out what is best suited for you. You might find certain items cause you issues as you sort through things. I notice more at the first phase of diets for a lot of people they are going to feel a lot better if they are making a lot of improvements. For example if you have all of the sudden stopped eating a lot of processed foods, sugars, etc. This is going to make you feel great for quite a while. It might not be a much so the part of being in ketosis for example, but actually the removal of something really weighing you down. Spend your time looking more into research on individual foods from unbiased sources. Not from people who are for or against that specific diet. Also, be open to trying different items and removing others. It will take a lot of adding and removing to really find a sweet spot for what works best for you. You have to experiment a lot.

I found out I was still eating a bit of kale today, so that has probably been causing me issues for awhile lol. I did actually have a bit more consistent energy with the low fodmap diet today. It wasn't too hard, but annoying for things like tea that has 10 ingredients. I did have more energy in the evening and I was doing posters. I got a fair bit done today and felt like I could have went at it more, but I am tired from getting up for toastmasters. I can tell with these days I need the laying down mid day mediation to help. I have been researching cookware and stuff a good bit. I found out that the coating on cups and plates contains cadmium, lead, etc. I had see some pieces contain up to more than 10,000X what they are allowed to have for things like lead. So cups with letters etc are good examples. These get scrapped off into the food. Not really that expensive to avoid these things. However, I imagine just the regular glass probably has something in it the further I look into this. One goal that I want to make is to have really nice pieces of cookware. Being that I cook the same things I lot there is only a few things that I use. I want to have the least toxins and over time invest into products that will last me a very long time. I enjoy cooking quite a bit too, so it is nice to have better gear. Mostly looking to cut toxins though right now. Going to be a lot more picky with the posters that I will be listing. I am going to make a pile of ones that are not worth it. I seem to save myself a lot of time just thinking about this stuff instead of just doing it. Now that I have listed about 150 posters for sale I have a good idea of what is good and what is not. I also have 5X of the same poster some times and I know the values or approx. values just looking at most now. I am wondering more if a lot of the speaking thing is just resistance at this point. I am pretty burnt out on doing the same repetitive things in those toastmasters groups. However, I am not sure that I am just not wanting to speak. I had so much enthusiasm for this for awhile. No doubt I want to continue to pursue a life purpose. I am going to keep working at it. I am going to work this month to practice again for the speech contest. I think I have a lot of resistance to that. I felt so done with it last time I did it for sure. I was actually annoyed to have to do it again. I took a good break from practicing and writing speeches right now. Now I have 30 days to practice again, which is actually more than I had last time lol. I have a bit more of toastmaster meetings to do. I counted like 16 before I can make any choices to leave other groups. Honestly, I want to give it a shot for doing in person again too. I think that would change the whole dynamic of it. I will just feel it out as I go. I am sure resistance and burnout could play a big factor.

Going to be be starting the low fodmap diet tomorrow. Hopefully, this will help give me some clarity on my diet and how to proceed. I have been feeling better overall though so far with my progress. Just one thing at a time. I can tell I am having some issues with fully adjusting like a bit of ego backlash, but not terrible considering how many changes I am making. A cup broke that was full of water I had boiled and it went on my leg. Kind of annoying, but it is only a 1st degree burn it looks like mostly. I should have been a bit more mindful of that with that cup. It was like .75 liters of water too lol. It was really thick glass and hadn't had an issue, so I assumed it was good. Going to invest into a proper cup for this though. Kind of strange to think about things like this as possibly being positive. I mean the annoyance is bad, but I always wonder how things would play out if it had not happened. There is so much variables in this reality that cause drastically different outcomes. While I am sure I will forget about this in a week or two it definitely will keep me in check for now. I have been working on more of an urge to slow myself down more. Be more precise with my actions. Maybe this will serve as a good reminder to that. I started using a bit of the encyclopedia of natural medicine today to work with my sister. This book seems like an absolute gem to work on stuff. I realize that I can't simply just follow all procedures I see without more understanding. However, there is some really solid and practical stuff in this. I was helping my sister out with a few of her issues and helping her plan out some changes she can make. She is going to do the low fodmap with me too. Kind of stuck me when I was reading the book and it said her life expectancy was potentially 39% more likely to be shorter from having celiac disease. I recall when she first got it that they mentioned that. I covered that part, so she could not see it. I feel like we can beat those odds with more knowledge on the topic. I can imagine most people in that study did not have a lot of the information out now as well as the information we could find. I have been working on my relationship to money a lot lately. I can still feel a fair amount of resistance to even buy myself something nice. I am not going crazy, but I am working on adding some stuff into my life. One thing I notice for sure is that I almost never buy new clothes unless they are ruined lol. I only wear gray shirts from a 5 pack I got and a couple other gray ones. While I kind of like the idea of wearing the same thing daily I would like to maybe build my own style around it and get some nicer stuff. I notice I feel a bit more confident in a bit newer stuff that looks nice as well. Plus just nicer, best fitting, and more comfortable. Like I upgraded my belt and I notice my waist feels more comfortable. Might be a subtle thing, but that was well worth the $13. My previous one was torn up too. I imagine I adopted this mindset from my dad a bit. It isn't like I am going to go broke over spending a bit on extra clothes every now and then. I also need to work on just upping my cash flow in general, but that is not stopping me from just buying a $30 pair of pants or etc now. I am thinking about how I need to narrow my focus a bit more. I realize that if I keep investing so much time into toastmasters and stuff that deters my focus from getting something out of the way. Say if I had just went all in on reselling for 1 year instead of doing a lot of toastmasters plus reselling. Admittedly, I did like the groups a lot of though for most of that and I did explore another outlet for building a life purpose on. It's interesting to think of how much I actually impact those people in the groups. I think one of my main things is feel guilty for abandoning people. I notice that with toastmasters and even my mom and my sister. I feel bad to even tell them that I plan to leave. This is an upper limiting problem for sure. Like with my mom I can see that she has a bit of a hard time doing as much for herself these days. Her health isn't getting any better and the two hip surgeries have fairly limited her. My sister doesn't really have a father figure now that her dad is moved out of her. I can tell that she looks up to me a lot and follows me. I've never had much of a bond with a sibling or family member like I have had with her. It strangely feels slightly like raising my own kid. I think that is something that is really holding me in place right now. I need to let go of things at some point though. I have to allow people to grow and expand without me too. Not to say I can't call my mom or sister, but I know it would not quite be the same.

It helps. However, I think just having experience with having business in general makes a big difference. There are a lot of different ways to go about doing it. It really depends what you are trying to offer. Say for example you wanted to start an oil change business. You could go in and get a job at on and take notes on all of their procedures. You also have the opportunity to meet customers and see what kind of stuff extra they want to buy. You also can get data like their ages, types of vehicles, etc. All sorts of stuff that would take you a lot of time to figure out. If you wanted to do something that takes a lot of years to really nail down, then working for someone could help. Programming comes to mind, but even that could be done on your own.

I went and did a 60 minute float tank session today and it was amazing. I did yoga, meditation, and l-theanine before I went though too. I am going to go more for sure. I really need to invest into things that make me feel better. I want to try a few other things out in the future. For now though this really did the trick. I feel awesome today from doing that. I can tell that I could be much closer to that state if I really spent more time relaxing like that. It also really enhanced my mediation. Thoughts were much easier to let go than normal. I have been struggling with meditation duration a bit lately since I have been doing a lot of life style changes. I have some capital to work with now and I need to be really strategic. I am not going to be a cheap fuck like I had been with stuff. I really need to invest into some maintenance on my car. I am going to be doing a lot of business driving soon and I want it to be great. I also am going to pay someone to detail the inside. Not something that I typically would do since I had my own detailing businesses before. However, in this case my car is full of mold and I am allergic to mold. It needs a really through and precise cleaning. I usually take like 6 hours to really deep clean a car and I feel like I would possibly miss some mold. It's probably like $100-$200 to pay someone to fully do that. I am trying to delegate this stuff out now. I need to focus on getting my reselling revenue up and I can by getting stuff like this off my plate. Next thing will also be getting a CPA. Taxes are so stressful and I do know how to do it now, but I don't want to. It is way too much of a headache for me to deal with anymore. I think these are going to be super solid investments. On the same page with not being cheap. I need to go at it to get my health up to optimal. Whatever cost or expense it takes. After the car is all set up and ready to go. It is a suv, so I could put an air mattress in the back. I think I want to plan out a budget meditation retreat. Something where I really question what I want out of life. There are awesome spots I can travel to that are free around here. I would just need a bit of prep work, but I would spend most of my time out in nature anyway. I think this would be super beneficial. I have been wanting to do a retreat for a few years and this would be a cheap and easy way to do it. Plus I could take advantage of the clean car before I start hauling a bunch of crap again lol. I am going to work on journaling more again. I just don't want to make it some monotonous task. I feel like my last one was me just wasting time repeatedly talking about the reselling business. With that though I am back to having a goal. My current goal is to picture all of my posters. I am getting the ball rolling towards that. Hopefully all will be done in about 2 months. I am also going to really go at it in the hot sourcing months. This should be enough to really boost my cash flow for a life purpose.

I feel like I am making a lot of progress on getting my health on track. I have a wealth of resources at my hand to work with, so I really want to get it done. I found some allergies today, but they are not that helpful for my stomach problem. I could actually even have SIBO possibly. I have not tested for that, but it seems to be a possibility. I am going to see if my doctor will possibly test for that. I am going to be doing a low fodmap diet too. I am still feeling a good bit better. It seems like I feel like crap after jucing again though, so it is really confusing on what might be the problem. Kind of why the idea of the bacteria makes sense. I feel like I am making a lot of progress though. I imagine I would feel great. I am really burnt out on toastmasters it seems like. It takes up so much time and energy. I am not really sure why I even want to do it anymore. I like contributing to it a bit for sure though, the morning one at least. It just feels like it has become a continuous routine of the same crap. I have gained skills for sure, but I think the returns are becoming more and more limited. The idea of finishing the DTM doesn't sound bad, but I could come back and do it anytime if I want. I actually did all of the harder stuff to get it. It seems like if I don't hold a speaking role, then it is just a waste of time. I am going to start pulling back on it. I am still going to do pros and cons to consider how I might proceed. I might do one group possibly. I did visit a group in Australia and that was actually pretty awesome. So maybe just cut the one group for sure and ponder more how I might go forward. I feel like I have hit a really interesting place in my growth. I don't feel like doing a ton of mental masturbation on videos. I actually don't have that many I want to listen to anymore. Mostly books seems to be my main pathway for knowledge intake anymore. It is much more fun and I retain so much more of it, then any other source for sure. I will still watch some videos. I probably should take notes on them more and be a bit more serious with some, but it doesn't seem nearly as effective for me. I feel like I have a wealth of knowledge that I need to just start implementing really. I am much more aware of my own personal things that are holding me back. I am getting much better results now by simply just knowing what I need to look for. Right now I am working on limiting issues with money. I have several more things in que too. I am still working on life purpose as well. I have been back thinking about doing a food related life purpose. Creating some sort of healthy niche foods that I want to see in the world. I would need to see if there is demand, but I bet there is some people like me. Maybe work that into eventually having super healthy fast food type places and various products. I have kicked this idea around for awhile in the past. I am not sure how in depth I would get with really trying to craft perfect foods. Now that I think of it I do have actually a lot of experience with flavors and creating recipes. I also ordered in a few books on natural medicines as well. So maybe possible to make like some sort of holistic healing products or something. Going to be doing a float tank session tomorrow. If it goes well I think I am going to start adding more of these into my routine. I am going to work on being less cheap and investing into myself more.

It's unlikely you are going to get this person to feel empathy toward you. Helping them evolve would be a waste of your time. I would be very careful with doing business dealings. If I had any knowledge on spiral dynamics earlier I would have saved myself a good bit of money. You want to asses someone's development that you plan to deal with ahead of time. That is not to say that you cannot deal well with others in other stages. However, Red and orange are going to be a lot more prone to tricking you out of your money. Also, depending on what you are doing a contract between both of you would make it a lot easier. Depends how much money is involved, but if you need to work with them again I would go to a lawyer first. Even then I would just avoid working with them. It sounds like you got taken for a ride.

I have improved a good bit on energy for sure. I feel a lot more sustained energy throughout the day. I think all of this stuff combined plus dropping foods that are causing issues have helped. going to keep investing a lot of time and energy into my health for awhile. I really want to feel the best I possibly can. I feel like I have went way too long allowing myself not to feel optimal. I notice I still have an issue with criticism. That is one thing that is going on the list to work on. It's more of an unconscious habit really. I've made some serious improvements there, but that is one thing that is holding me back from being a happier person I think. I feel a much stronger urge to move out on my own. I would feel a bit bad for my mom and sister I have to admit. I know that my mom is sort of relying on me to help out around here with money and just physical labor. I feel like this is something that is starting to work against me rather than for me. I can see how this is putting a bit of a cap on my growth. I am worrying less about money now. I have seen some really interesting living possibilities that I never thought were even possible. I have see a few of these commune type things. Some good stage green type settings that probably would be worth staying at for a bit just for experience. I do want my own place though. I need to be strategic about how I go about doing this. I want to really think this over. I am in no rush, but I can see that it will be time for me to move forward soon. I woke from a dream where I was living my life purpose. It really did not make much sense. I wish I would have wrote it down, but after waking up I could not make as much sense of what I was doing exactly. I seemed to be talking with a small group of people though and finding joy with what I was sharing. I am not sure if this means much, but something to think about. I am spending a lot more time working on my life purpose. I feel like I want to have a decent idea of what I am going to be going for. I know it will come though. I still need to work more on letting go of emotions. I am getting much better for sure. The sedona method has really helped so far. I do plan on working through that again and seeing what I can do there. I recover far sooner than I would have previously for sure. I can definitely get back to a good mental space fairly easily. I think forgiving people is powerful too. I am a lot better a apologizing too. I think that is really key. A good apology even I was "wrong" or not. I don't care about the vulnerability there.

I am starting to feel a lot more energy during the day. I am working on building a new sleep schedule around the time my body gets the best sleep. I can tell my mood and energy and improving. I seem to be allergic to a larger array of things. I am also allergic to wheat or possibly have a stomach issue. I ate a bit more wheat today and it gives me a negative reaction. I am going to get allergy testing soon, so I think that will help clear it up for what it might do. Once July comes I want to reduce the amount of load I am getting from toastmasters. I really need to spend more time figuring out my life purpose. If speaking is apart of that, then great. I think the communication skill in general is very good. I still would like to reach DTM in toastmasters, but honestly I don't think an award matters much. It sounds appealing to get it. I guess mainly the idea of seeing something through till the end is what I want. I would no longer need two groups though to get it in a year now. I did all of the requirements that I needed to have two for. I will see how it goes. I feel like I enjoy it, but sometimes I don't really want to go to the meetings as much. I mostly just want the speaking roles and of course I can't have that every meeting lol. I actually sold four posters to one guy today. That was pretty surprising. I think they will be hot sellers once the stimulus comes in. I feel very fortunate that there is so much abundance coming to me. It feels like a lot of things are just coming into place. I am talking to my dad bit more. It is a bit nice talking to him, but the conversations are not very deep. It is strange to see him with a mostly white head of hair now. He doesn't seem like he has taken very good care of his health, but he isn't in terrible shape. He seems to be super into gardening. He puts a lot of time into his plants and stuff. He still seems cheap as fuck haha. I am sure he is a millionaire at this point. I don't really want anything material wise from him. I would be surprised if he ever gave me back my money honestly. I don't feel angry for him about that anymore. I still need to put more time into forgiveness with him. He seems more enjoyable to be around anymore, but to be fair he did that when I was younger too for a few years. Getting really into this other book. I think I should focus a lot more on life purpose instead of just the speaking. I don't know I thought I wanted to do youtube or something. I would not mind running a business though. I feel like I could lead people really well. I thought about book writing and public speaking stuff too. Public speaking Writing Business So far those are the main things I would consider. I want to make it something unique too though. I notice a lot of the stuff I did in the past was copying to some degree. I mean anything will be to an extent. When I was younger I just tried out stuff spontaneously. I wonder how much farther I would have got just by doing one business longer lol. I have had so many businesses now. I have not really tried writing a book or much writing in general. I am not too sure how I would feel about doing that. I guess just the idea seems good. For speaking I like it. It is not something that really comes super easy to me. I am a bit self critical though for that skill. I know speaking matches some of my top strengths, but I am just not so sure what to speak about. That might just be the missing piece for that. I am not really sure what field I want either. I guess this is the problem with restarting so much. I still have a lot of skills and knowledge built up, so that helps. I really enjoy reading and learning. I am not sure that means I should just pursue personal development though. I have not really read a lot of different kinds of books. Mostly just the books for actualized work. So that might one thing hindering some of that exploration. On the other hand though the recommendations are very quality and appealing for sure.

@seeking_brilliance Shure Mv88. I would consider something else if you are at the desktop. I was very impressed with the quality on this one though. It can even record instruments well.

Strange to think that the pandemic started a year ago. It feels a lot like time has stood still. I know I did quite a bit between then and now, but it doesn't really feel like I accomplished much. I notice I tend to think that if I feel a bit down. Although, I wonder how much truth there is to that. I am just not really sure what direction to take my life. I need to focus more on the life purpose course and reading more. I just want more clarity in my life. I feel like it is hard for me to even just sit and enjoy a video game. It's funny to think I have this fancy pc now and I don't really enjoy it. I mean I wasn't really expecting to. It is sort of fun sometimes for sure, but it reminds me a lot that I don't really have things figured out. I need to come up with some new stuff to do as an extra or fun thing. It seems like even games that I found exciting and fun are shot lived. I would have to really seek out a game to have fun with. I was playing Ark with my sister a bit and that was fun for awhile, but it seems like it actually annoys me more now. It feels like a waste of time and I am not even playing that much. I enjoy playing with her still though. I think part of the gaming is that I don't play with anymore often. I just play by myself, so that probably plays into that. I guess it really does not matter. Something I should note is that I am burping a lot and feel a bit depressed, so likely I did eat something I am allergic too again lol. I am allergic to kale and peanuts know so far. I think mushrooms is something I possibly am allergic too. That would make the most sense. This would not effect me from tripping with them, since it is fairly minor. I need to quit messing around and just call that allergy place tomorrow. I am getting tired of playing around with this and guessing a lot. Although, it has worked all of the symptoms are not gone. I haven't changed anything aside from eating the mushrooms today though. I have been trying a new sleeping schedule and it seems pretty good. I am eating a lot of new foods as well. Okay, for me a lot of new food is several items lol. I am not sure that I am hitting big bursts of energy yet by any means. I feel more rested though at least. I think a big part of that is that I am eating stuff I am allergic too. The mushrooms today I think showed that to me. I did not eat any yesterday and I had a good sustained amount of energy mid day that I usually would not. I completely changed the layout of my room, which has been the same for like 5 years. I feel like working on the speaking has provided me a lot of benefits. I care so much less about what people think of me. Being in those groups has been a really good test of that. There is so many people who are negative and just want you to do as they say. I spent so much of my life caught up in others thoughts and opinions. I notice my communication is really good now too. I can tell people enjoy talking to me a lot more than even a year ago. That is hard to believe. So even if nothing major happened in the last year my communication skills have really evolved. I am going to keep working on this, but I am not sure what to do with it. I did sit and think about it for awhile today and I had some new ideas. I might join a $60 a month group for speaking that has live professional coaches, some of the best in the world. I am at the least going to try that for a month. I also thought of maybe trying to join some sort of debate clubs or trying some other kind of virtual club. It would be really cool to actually be in a club of people with similar values. Nothing wrong with the people in my TM clubs, but I hardly relate to them at all. I feel like a fair amount of the stuff I would talk about is just suppressed because they would have no idea what I am talking about or vilify it. Depending on what I find I might leave both clubs, or just keep the in the routine for practice. I am not too sure yet. I notice I lack with my goal setting a bit. I just don't really feel like I am aligning with the $50,000 reselling goal. I am going to hit it regardless, but it doesn't really excite me. I guess there is not a lot that is exciting me right now. Not that I need "excitement" per say. I just want some clear focus for what I want. I need to really think about what I want this year and execute on it. I should be excited and motivated about what I want.

I am in the same boat with mastering. I'm not really sure on all of the clarity though either. I think I still need to follow more passions, but I am getting there. I struggled today to really get a lot of time into contemplating on what my plan is. I am chipping away at it though. I would see how you can start to slowly build the skills you want to master into your routine. Don't go all in at the start, but really pace yourself. If you have to start with 15 minutes a day, then start there. I would also look into a job that relates in some way to this, so you can build skills as you go.

@Striving for more Deliberately letting go of something with all aspects good and bad. Write them all out and work on letting go of your emotions associated with it. There are a few different techniques out there that work very well for this.

@Matt23 Some years back I had lost all of my stuff, place I lived, and my business to a flood. I was in a state of despair. I ended up getting a job at burger king. I imagined that it would be embarrassing. While working there I actually found a lot of ways to enjoy it. I was actually happier at some points much more than what I had been prior to the flood. I was able to make a lot of flow situations while working there. I liked to tell the order total to people before the register figured it out. Building out skills and routines there made the time pass much more smoothly. I've managed to achieve much more by just releasing on what I want. For whatever reason the less I "require" something the easier it is to actually get.
-
That would be a good thing to invest in right there. What do you need to make the games? You are capable of enjoying things financially free or not. Getting financial freedom is nice for sure, but I wouldn't place happiness on it. I would figure out how to have fun on the way to financial freedom instead.
-
Really figure out what you want to invest some time into and give it a shot for a year or so. That will really help you know what you do want and you don't. Once you start getting a good list of stuff you don't want to do it makes it a lot easier. Business and investing are some of the best ways to get rich unless you can become a star or are very smart. I would not limit yourself on how intelligent you can become. Becoming a star is mostly out of luck though, but mastery plays a big part in it as well. I'd say knowledge is powerful with any route you decide to go. I would recommend you find what your a most passionate and creating a business around that. Becoming a millionaire isn't that hard really with good financial skills, so aim for enjoyment and impact versus money. You will likely not get rich guessing on stocks and all that crap. It sucks up so much time. Not to mention most people can't handle the emotions with higher sums of money. Investing is great for wealth building, but I would work on getting cash flow coming in first. Once you get a good amount of capital, then I suggest reading the intelligent investor and learning to properly invest. There is a fine distinction from being an investor and a speculator. You want to be the investor. Someone can make great returns with some research, then checking in on their investments maybe 4 times a year.

I'm on the same page with that too. I got a lot of value from the video so far, but definitely need to make a "routine" for myself to start thinking of more ideas. I tried just thinking of ideas for an hour a day before and just the exercise of itself starts to bring them at other times of the day.

I am noticing that I am starting to have a bit of an uptick in energy and motivation. I still seem to struggle a bit. It seems like I have to try to get myself going. I sleep sometimes for about 9 hours, then I start to feel better. I had a couple of days recently I was sleeping or trying to for close to 12 hours. I feel like the quality of my sleep isn't as good. Hopefully, it will get a bit better though. I am trying to get my sleeping schedule back on track. I think I am allergic to beets too, but need to test to verify. I forgot that I felt like crap eating them before and I thought that was from detoxing. I literally juice or blend a whole one all the time and I get some nearing the size of a baseball lol. I am going to test that soon, but for now it seems good. I still ponder a lot about what exactly my LP will be. I need more vision time for sure. I just haven't really found the cause or what I want I think. I notice it really bothers me how unhealthy people are and I could see wanting to change that. Also, how a lot of people simply just live a poor life due to lack of personal growth. I think between those two there is a lot there I could work with. I am not entirely sure though. I feel like I am still in the right direction with speaking now. I am struggling to build a strong speaking routine. I know that I need to start doing it daily. It seems like I don't have enough time to do everything. I think that I should consider trying to batch meals, but I don't enjoy leftovers. I am not sure that qinuoa would be any good the second day either. I think that I need to try this out and just see what happens. I know if I were to batch the jucing alone I can cut out more time. I need to get the jars, so I can start vacuum sealing them. Even if I starting making it one time for even 3 days maybe would be ideal. This would save me 4 hours each week and that really starts adding up. Dinner wise I am not too sure what else. I probably should try a different dinner out. I have been thinking about maybe making some salads or something too. I allow myself to effortlessly reach my listing goal of $50,000. Today, I am thankful for: Pc stand Up tick in sales Feeling calm and centered

I found a large source of my own personal anxiety came from caffeine. I had a lot of other factors too of things that would make me very stressed often. As mentioned above I would see where you can cut that out. I would recommend working on getting adequate exercise and building a meditation habit. Those two things are very powerful against panic attacks and anxiety. Diet plays a good part in it as well, but if I was going to pick one thing to drop anxiety I would say meditation or yoga if you can get into it. Yoga seems to be more potent without as much experience at the start. A technique I used with having panic attacks was to just work on following my breath during them. I would often have them just from being in stores. So I would go into stores and just hang out while having a panic attack. It did gradually start reducing them quite a bit over time. It really depends on what you feel is best and what you are comfortable with. If you worked on the things above that would likely be enough too. Also, relating to the stress. Make sure you give yourself at least a full day off each week. I don't mean doing a bunch of errands and stuff, but actually finding the time to relax and enjoy yourself.

I would just start up some small talk with guys you see out in public. Maybe try out some groups or social clubs. I feel like this would help sort out a lot of creepy ones. Not always, but I am sure there is a lot of that on the apps. The quality would raise up too. Go try out new things more often and it will make it much easier. A guy should be able to lead you in the conversation, so it shouldn't be too bad. I know from experience though with girls approaching me it caught me off guard haha.

You can take in information from anyone at any level of development. Also, being here helped me move more into tier 2. Hard to see where you land without being around anyone who is more developed. Also, the more "developed" one becomes, then it is less of an issues where others are at. -
I find that having a mix of different workouts and stretches helps a lot. I have been doing yoga a few times a week, cycling, and jogging. I use to just jog all the time and I get injured much less now. I also stretch 2-3 times per day. I also try to give myself one day a week to rest fully too.
