Gotta start this soon. I've been planning on doing it for some weeks now, but i'm always putting it off hehehe.

Start a daily meditation habit. 20 minutes will do.

All the books by Jed Mckenna.

Do you watch porn?

Reading a lot is the best way.

Yes. Very good video. There is definitely something to it. The brain always seeks out instant gratification. It runs away from pain and seeks out pleasure. Experiment for yourself. I suggest also watching his other video's: "how dopamine detox saved my life" and "warning signs of dopamine toxication".

Nah, just quit smoking all together. It's one of the easiest addictions to get rid of.

What holds you back from moving out and taking care of yourself?

Hi, I basically need to use the internet at the moment for job hunting, and for some other research purposes. However, for some reason i always endup on a YouTube binge, and before i know it, several hours have gone by after i wake up from this haze of having watched the most stupid and mundane shit. Than i wonder where all the time has gone to, and i feel kinda shitty for not having done something more productive with my time. How can i use the internet responsibly? I keep failing at this. I can't just quit it all together, because i obviously need to use the internet.

Ah yes good idea.

Hmm yes i guess awareness alone is also curative with this addiction.

Brainfog should be one of your least worries with this addiction. This addiction blasts your reward circuitry like no other, tricking your brain into thinking that you actually done something good and beneficial for yourself and your procreation. It is like a cheatcode in a videogame, except you are not doing anything in real life to better yourself, attract a woman, procreate, build a family etc etc, and you won't even feel that bad about it, because after jacking it for the 50th time your brain is satisfied just like that.

Good job. Keep going. Never let your guard down. This addiction is sneaky af.

If it was easy, everyone would be running around like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Exercise is hard, but it's worth it. I love the physical strain. Pushing my limits while running is one of the biggest joys for me. You need to callous your mind. Also, if you're a beginner take it easy. Over time your muscles will get used to it.

What about savings?

Yes. A lot of beginners make the mistake of starting out too crazy. I once did too. I paid with 4 weeks of anckle injury. Take it easy friend, it sucks not being able to run because of injury trust me.

Are you running 15mins without stopping every morning? That's too much if you only started out a week ago. I suggest going every other day instead, and don't run for 15mins straight but run-walk-run-walk. You will get injured sooner or later if you keep going like this as a beginner.

I think it's more of a misunderstanding from my part. Although the guy i'm following lacks empathy (immo), he's not that bad with his teachings. I'm not gonna share his name, it's not necessary. Also thanks for the video, i like it. Rupert Spira is someone who i should listen more to. He's always on point.

I've done the Life Purpose Course in the past, and at the end it was pretty clear that career wise i wanted to help people with psychological problems. I was planning on becoming a Psychologist/Psychotherapist, and i would have gone to uni to get my masters degree. I planned out all the action steps towards reaching this goal, and my life started to have a lot of meaning again. I became very action oriented, and everything was set to this goal. This was until Nonduality realy started to get a grip on me, and basically ruined this dream of mine. Right now i don't feel like i want to pursue it anymore, as i see that fundamentally al psychological problems mostly stem from ego and believing in your "own" thoughts. I feel like i would be cheating on people if i would show them a lot of empathy for their "problems", taking them serious, as they would only make them worse in the end, and not be a permanent solution. Also receiving money and making a living out of this this would feel kinda weird. I think for this to work right now, i would have to put on a huge mask and fake it. It just feels wrong. I'm not sure what to do anymore with this. My life lacks drive and mission right now, and i'm totally clueless again on what to do with life. I hate it. The only small interest i had was Psychology and now i don't really care about anything anymore. It's still there, but it's not nearly as big as wat it used to be. It's even hard for me to get a dayjob because of this, as a 9-5 would totally have been in service of my Life Purpose to earn and saveup money. Now a dayjob would just be in service of feeding myself and getting by, and that's not as exciting to me at all. Where do i go from here?

Barely scratched the surface of Jung. Definitely gonna get back into him. Thanks for reminding me.

@Leo Gura @Preety_India Thanks both of you for answering my question so quickly. They make a lot of sense. I'm definitely going to contemplate on this. I see that i might have become stuck in dogma and deluded myself.

She's old enough to deal with this on her own. It's her choice and responsibility. If you don't wanna deal with "these type of people", than distance yourself yes. Mind your own business basically.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not working right now if that's what you mean. I also don't wanna lie. That doesn't really sound like a good plan. So you lie about experience? What if they let me start somewhere and it requires me to do stuff i don't know anything about? This doesn't sound like a viable plan either.

I suggest getting into a running habit. Exercise is healthy, and it can boost confidence etc etc

I suggest reading the book from Allen carr on quitting smoking. It has helped an insane amount of people to quit, and it also helped me. It's very good.
