@integral Iceland is currently nr.8 in the highest life expectancy and we've eaten fish and other seafood for hundreds of years. And it was often the only food that was available not so long ago. Can't be that bad.

If you can't handle school, you won't handle enlightenment. Simple as that. But if its a conscious choice that you don't want to continue school, that's different.

Year 2 was definitely the most difficult for me. After that, it was much more smooth sailing but of course, difficult moments will always arise as long as you're alive. I just learned to deal with them better after establishing a good foundation.

You can use the search bar at the top right for it. There have been endless discussions on it the past months.

You shouldn't avoid fish wholeheartedly because of metals. You just shouldn't consume too much of it.

Oh well, let's just give up then and let the harassment continue. This is the best advice you could give someone in this situation who has no knowledge of self-defense.

Eyepkoking and a firm kick to the nutsack are good self-defenses to keep at the top of your mind when the situation calls for it.

Watch his videos with Jay Shetty or Dr. Joe Dispenza and it becomes evident. He's fascinated with consciousness and spirituality as well.

@zeroISinfinity Sooner or later you'll have to accept Matt as your supreme love daddy.

@dflores321 100% agree. I love Spencer's videos and he's really good at digging deep into fake gurus and exposing them for what they are. My personal favorite was his video on Dan Lok.

Not at all. I've watched him a whole bunch and can confidently say he's almost fully orange with little green, and there is pretty much no yellow in him.

At least now we know he gets to touch his wife, maybe even a handshake. ?

5:00 AM Got a good 50 min run in, and sprinted the last 5 minutes. Been having a really weird sensation above or in my right Achilles tendon lately. I've read it's due to increased mileage and speed for new runners. I've been running now for about a month so I hope it starts to get better soon. I'll foam roll it and stretch today. After yesterday's foam rolling session, I noticed how incredibly relaxed I was when I went to bed. I managed to get into extremely deep relaxation which felt awesome. I've been thinking of starting to drink cacao again since I completed 50 days of no caffeine and am done counting. I really wasn't planning on drinking caffeine again but cacao has a really small amount of it and the benefits of it outweigh that tiny caffeine intake. But I won't drink it every day as I've done before, more so every other day or once every three days. I treat cacao as a supplement to my health and wellbeing.

His foundation is very red/blue. He grew up in a harsh environment filled with violence, where he had to be tough to survive. So he's basically a walking devil.

Use the search bar. He's widely spoken of here.

I can see how that would be helpful. 100% agree. If one can't quit porn for 30 days, then their certainly addicted. This is a great thread where we can come and report if we're having some massive urges, to load it off here may help.

@FeelSpaghetti Yeah, he's pretty cool. @dflores321 I watch Spencer and he has his limited thinking too since he's mostly orange/green. When Ed had Dr. Joe Dispenza on, and Jay Shetty, you could easily tell that he's mostly a yellow thinker. Even if he made his fortune in the past in a sketchy way, he really has good intentions now I believe.

Start with mini disciplines and challenges. That will likely lead you to take action on larger challenges.

I'm the opposite brother ?. I've been doing 5 am runs and I feel extreme urges after my runs. Probably due to feeling so good that when even the most miniature erotic imagery pops up in my mind, I'm like a meth addict looking for a hit like you mentioned. Sometimes I manage to control it, but after like 15 days the urges are so insanely strong that it feels like it's impossible not to act on them. But I know I can do better, this is all my responsibility. From what I've read, those urges still follow all the way to day 1000 for some. You just become a master of not acting on them, so it would be wise to start practising letting them bypass. The key I believe is to not try to get rid of them nor think on them. You've got to let the urges pass like clouds, similar to meditation. Nofap seems to be one of the best if not the best way to up your social challenges. I've noticed that massively myself. "The problem with waiting until tomorrow—to do anything—is that when it finally arrives, it is called today." @LfcCharlie4 I always just unblock it if the urge is strong enough, I'm like a man on a mission, lol. I honestly think it doesn't help at all since if you're being blocked from it, you're still acting on the urge. So it's just a matter of time before you unblock it and cave it, instead of mastering the art of urge control.

That's just the mind's way of tricking you out of doing something difficult. Exercising and meditating should be enough to give your mind get som endorphins so you feel better.

Almost fully orange. Check out Ed Mylett, he's certified yellow.

@LfcCharlie4 Been on the Nofap for a little while now but decided to abandon that road and just make it a lifestyle more so, rather than counting days which will eventually lead to a relapse. Counting days makes it seem like there's an end goal when there really isn't one. There's probably massive benefit as well to lower all forms of dopamine chasing, such as YouTube and other forms of miniature pleasure as well, you spoke of a dopamine detox before if I remember correctly. I do notice whenever I reach passed 10 days, I become frustrated and irritated a lot quicker than normal, and I'm an extremely calm person most would say. Maybe that's just in the starting phase, I usually relapse after like 15 days to let all the pent up pressure out. I will try to go further tho, to see what 30+ days are like, but without emphasis on counting days. Noporn definitely seems to be easier, and maybe more beneficial than no PMO. Quitting caffeine has been the biggest benefit for me out of all these addictions, Nofap comes at a close second, but there are some negatives.

5:30 AM Really picked up the pace on this run and ended up running like there was someone chasing me and trying to kill me, lmao. There's often a point in my runs, maybe 40 mins in where a whole new gear of energy opens up and I go from gear 5 to 8. Could be due to the mental "quitting at 40%" rule that Goggins speaks of, once you're passed your breaking point and still keep going, there's some limiter (governor) in your mind that just drops and that's where you really grow. You always grow the most at the last bit of the exercise, the rest is just build-up to the toughest part. I'm absolutely fascinated by how the mind and body work when really pushed. Also been incorporating iso weight lifting into my schedule. I've been doing this flow workout every day in the afternoons, but will now do them every other day rather. Did arms yesterday which was fun. Also took about an hour to loosen up my hip flexors, they're insanely tight, and it's important for running to be loose there, so I foam rolled and did some stretches. Will be taking foam rolling and stretching a lot more seriously, for now, to loosen up my body. The funny thing is after I started exercising twice a day my weight has been shooting up each week. I went from like 78kg not working out to about 85 working out twice a day, lol. But rest assured it's water weight, just funny how counter-intuitive everything can be.

All solid advice, except for the "piping hoes" advice.

5:00 AM I've been resting my running for the past 4 days due to a knee injury. I went for a run as soon as I woke up in the morning. The pavement was as slippery as ice, which made running a lot more difficult, but I did manage to nonetheless. Running on a slippery road works some muscles that aren't usually activated during normal runs. The small balancing muscles, so It's great for extra strength in the legs. Can't wait to run in some snow blizzards soon. I've also rested my daily cold shower routine the last 3 days which was a massive mistake, lol. Took a cold shower yesterday and noticed how much more difficult it was. The freezing weather here is starting to make the water a lot colder, and it's usually freezing cold even in the summer. It's good mental toughening, and aids recovery so much faster since I'm exercising twice a day. I've also decided to make nofap more of a lifestyle instead of a challenge, so I won't be counting the days, I find it a lot more difficult that way since it assumes there's an endpoint when there really isn't one.
