Human Mint

There's hope for y'all trying to sleep earlier...

Not too quick . It would be pretty easy to just decide to go to bed early and falling asleep. Ever wondered why not everyone does just that? As I explained before there are a lot of factors that will determine what time you go to bed. Most of which can mascarade as insomnia but in reality are external, fixable elements.

@Sandroew Yes, but sadly most people will never apply the techniques. Unless you're willing to stop eating more than 3 hours before bed, eliminating or regulating exposure to light 90 minutes before bed, not drinking alcohol, not smoking, then you're gonna have a bad time falling asleep, and what is worst, you're not gonna have a profound sleep. It is explained in great detail in the book and plenty of videos on YouTube aswell, I recommend checking Braian Johnson channel, he basically mastered sleeping. Its up to you. I don't care if you choose to sleep bad, although it will be great if you don't. Caffeine disrupts sleep, alcohol disrupts sleep, digestion disrupts it, light greater than 5lux does the job too. A room too hot will do it, approximately you need it to be ~18°C depending on genetics. Thats because in deep sleep stages your body temperature plummets about one degree celcius. As you can appreciate, there is not a single tip but rather a fairly complex understanding to have to tame good sleep. But the reward is by far worth the effort.

I mean, if you're a parent and just had a baby then I get it. But in most cases you're just being ignorant... Like if you blame your nighttime shift then that's your own foolishness.

For me going to univerity/buying a course is the perfect blend of being surrounded by people mastering what you want to master, plus being held accountable to some degree. But more fundamental than that is your inner game. Like, can you get satisfaction out of learning? Can you push away short-term gratifications to make space for a more mature way of appreciating life through learning? Going or not to the university is just part of your own plan. Maybe you need to learn other things before getting the most out of university.

It looks good, I should get one of those. And our unhealthy society determines what time your boss tells you, out of ignorance, to get up.

Just in the first 5 minutes he talks about how he almost died out of his hedonous lifestyle, lol! Actually a good talk to study for us who opt for a healthier path. Charging 80 bucks a month for a list of exercises is INSANE.

There are interesting studies made on sleep deprivation. One of them being that after 24 hours without sleep, you are impaired at the level of a drunk driver. Accidents caused by lack of sleep are as frequent, if not more, than the ones caused by alcoholization behind the wheels. The problem is, you don't need to fall asleep for 1 or 2 minutes. A micro-sleep will be suficient to cause an accident, which are the ones where you only loose consciousness per 1 or 2 seconds. Imagine a kid crosses the street at that moment, you will full on hit him, not even being able to react as a drunk driver would, slowly but reacting at least.

Hi. Good post. Also hope you read this. You should revisit, integrate more, the basis of value providing and money made the right way. Invest in more books that would help you in bringing to life your new ideas. Make'em come to mind, you have the experience... It seems you're developing a lot of skills that could easily reinforce each other to create a holistic business. On the other hand, maybe what it is holding you back is you worry about money when you should be worrying on how to give the best value to people. Disclaimer: I am not making money, which is holding me back, but I have the intuition that not worrying on how to make the money will actually be better and actually, counterintuitively, make a good revenue for me. I say that because even though I am not making money I am being able to eat and pay a rent. Sry I don't want to talk bs either... But somewhere else I read that money is just a way people have to say thank you to you. Other way is just a hug, for example. You make something for other person and in turn they hug you; you've helped them. You're on a good spot because you have the capital to start a business, and you don't even need all of it. So a good question to ask is what kind of space you want to create for people, such that they will want to come to you an actually choose you over other options. Another way of thinking it is as follows (Also I read it somewhere else): When we lived on tribes, people didn't pay you to help them, you will just do it naturally because it was a way of thriving and maximizing survival for the group. If you didn't do that, things would simply spiral out of control. There was an unspoken code where each participant could count on each other. If the situation was so that a partner was starving, you would just share a piece of meat with them, and thus bring them to life. In a certain way that doesn't happen anymore but we still are psychologically wired that way...

Full of toxic Green vibes here... Not really better. I don't see how that would help... You have to make an extended analysis of the role of the goverment. There needs to be a clear understandig of what the goverment is for and what it is not for, despite the people in power. Only then you can judge better. What are the best possible regulations and when regulations become an obstacle. None of that is being discussed in the magazine, which is a great indicator for why the left didn't win.

Reading. Although it seems not related, reading forces you to retaing pieces of information to make sense of sentences. Its one of the best training for high quality speech, because it impacts your speech. Just don't pick a book for kids.

Good quality sleep. Harder to get than it seems, considering that it requires dozens of lifestyle micro-corrections. But our life is as good as our sleep efficiency. Anything you practice will be impacted by your sleep; either it will be catapulted up or dragged down... We invest a third of our lives sleeping, so we better pay attention to it. If you wonder: good sleep, particularly sleep rich in REM, increases your natural ability to see the big picture. You connect dots more easily. Is not your cup of coffe, but sleep.

Its an example of the more you vocalize/externalize something, the more it transforms into reality. So why not do it with the best thing possible? Nowhere else you see people treating their life this way, there exists a really low bar in society in general, which in turn translates into your own habits being misleaded. Let me now your thoughts.

Its really interesting... I can not particularly answer your question though. But life in general changes, in subtle ways, for the better, when you carry yourself as God. Even not being obviously awaken, its a subtle change in attitude that has a significant impact in your life, let alone practical things such as emotional progress you need to make, things you want to build, etc. Idk, its something to consider. Is what we focus on that matters. If you focus on the wrong things then your life gets worse, and we humans are blessed for being able to sort through that.

@Schizophonia Wow, that's wrecked...
