Uhm.. I disagree. Just finding our your true values is easily worth 200 bucks. Took me some months to finish just that part of the course so yeah it is a lot of work. Like what were you gonna spend your time and money doing instead..?

I like the quote about intuition - > when questioned with arguments, intuitive gutfeel remain silent and steady. What do you find yourself trying to convince yourself of - staying with her or leaving? And which side has an intuitive, silent gut feel to it?

Advice much appreciated Background: I used to follow Leo's advice on meditation during around 2015-2016. After only a few months of 1hr daily meditation I had my first Samadhi experience. At some point I got really dissosiated when doing hypnosis (around a year later (or sth). It freaked me the hell out and I stopped meditating ever since. Symptoms: At this point I experience dissociative or DPD symptoms from day to day, creating extreme anxiety. I get anxiety often when I sit still and try to relax or lie down (can't sleep without youtube these days). I have developed an intense fear of heights that relates to this. The trance of riding a car also freaks me out and for a while I couldn't drive. I would say my body energies are out of balance. I am addicted to my phone which makes my brain tired - though checking my phone is the way in which I start to feel like a person again when the dissosiaction comes up. Watching myself in the mirror for too long makes me uncomfortable. I am aware that my life story is a lie but it is just too damn scary to walk into madness or the unknown, I have dreams of what I want to do with my human life, I have family that I love, what happens when they just turn into nonpersonal sensations? Will I become a ghost shell "walking around" a dream world? The episodes I experience feel existential. I am not ready for full awakening, not ready to die. Thoughts: Dean Radin has said that around 1% of the population gets psychotic from meditation and I'm a little fearful whether I could be one of them. Maybe a braintype thing? Weed for example makes me com-ple-tely dissosiated, makes me lose sense of reality, of self and make my senses become distorted. I never hear others talking about weed this way. Also the fact that my Samadhi came rather quickly from the meditation practice make me think whether my brain is a little bit too sensitive for this to be healthy. I am extremely creative naturally and enter deep creative flow state rather easily, I am a bit ADHD-like at times. I dunno, any tips? I'm a really happy guy otherwise

I dont fully understand the question -
A good start: Write down points for yourself everytime you actively skip youtube during the day, and commit to a certain amount of points.

Depending on your age, I could recommend volunteerwork and Workaway, great way to make new real friends

Bullying is fucked up. But if you live through it your only choice is to be exceptionally badass. Not badass as in being some "bad boy", but badass in how you direct your life. This is a test man. You can reach the freedom and peace you want through concrete action over time. You can do this. Recognize that you are on the hero's journey, enjoy the ride.

I have some fears / paranoias that everytime I read avout the law of attraction I start to worry about and can't stop visualizing in my head. It is like this: knowing about the law of attraction I fear my negative belief, which make me more worried about the fear, thus instantly throwing an image of the fear in my head and a stressful feeling in my body. How should best I turn this negative cycle into a positive one?

Happy B-day!

For some years now I have been practicing hours a day at specific crafts which at times has had me frustrated and confused as to what is the most effective way to practice. I now reached a two step strategy that works well for me in anything I try to master. 1. Practice - Do something to get better at it. 2. Reflect - Think and take short notes on the most central parts of what I just did (AND later sort these thoughts into OneNote.) Repeat. This process - doing followed by reflecting - works for both short sessions of practice or for whole workdays or long term projects. The reflection process autocorrects the practice, gives you direction over time and opens the mind to new ideas. Also I like the perspectives in Leo's videos on learning. 'Learning = Observation', 'Learning = Behavior Change', 'Learning = Making Distinctions' and 'Learning = Experience'.

I can relate, my number 1 distraction in life. I made a point system for myself - I give myself a point every time I skip internet during the day.

Woah, I have been facing very similar issues lately. Good to have a thread about it now -
Nice to hear! If I were you I would make a clear measurable long term goal, how many followers do you want, what appearances and collaborations do you guys want to have made? etc. I would view this EP promotion as an exercise because in most cases it will take many EPs and projects before you get real traction with your music. You could check out Leo's strategy video.

Any tips? I have different tools/spaces for different time frames at the moment. Long term goals and visions are in one place, goals for the year in another place, to do lists on Google Keep, Google Calendar hard to integrate to OneNote at all, my daily work journal has the plans for the coming days. How do you guys integrate goals, to-do-lists, and calendar into one system?

Hey I am genuinely worried for the first time in years. Should we spend some of out daily work preparing for a potential world war or what do you guys think?
-
Yeah if you ever get frustrated by certain comments Leo, you create immesurable value for me and probably many more
-
Hey @Leo Gura, when do you plan to release next episode on youtube?
-
@Leo Gura Yeah I have a GF that is super loyal but Im starting to wonder what the real risks are the way you talk about it. But youre right I mean I have no time to be worrying about it anyways
-
@Leo Gura trying to get a sense for how common infidelity really is. Would be good to have a realistic percentage thing.
-
@Leo Gura Why wouldnt you let your GF to a Vegas club by herself?

I watched Leo's videos about sex a while back and applied it with my previous GF's with good results, nothing like the 5-10 orgasms per night he is talking about but they got to cum at least 1 and sometimes 2 or 3 times per night. But with my current GF I haven't been able to make her cum even once in our 4 months of knowing each other. What I have noticed is that she doesn't seem to follow my lead in the foreplay, and she won't relax and let me touch her / lick her for very long. I have tried many things but I can't seem to make her relax in the foreplay. Any tips? I really feel bad about this atm to be honest.
-
You personally pay no time worrying about infidelity, right? Is it because you accept that she might do minor cheating at some point or like how does that work in your case?

Okay, I have been going through the comments and reading up a little bit on sexual repression, anorgasmia, hormones and more. First off, we really love each other. We are the perfect match except for this problem = I want to make it work if I can. According to this article, a whopping 4,6% of women have Anorgasmia - the inability to orgasm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorgasmia @Leo Gura - She has come with one guy, once. I tried to ask some smart questions. She said that she never came with a guy before except once with one specific guy (that I think) she was extremely in love with. No details except she said it was the first time she actually enjoyed sex, in contrast to for example her first relationship in which she only had sex a total of 5 times and never liked it (that was way before at age 15-18). - She thinks our sex is great. She is higly attractive and has had a rather high number of short sexual relationships in the past (like 1-3 month long). She really fell for me on a more deep emotional level though, which I genuinely believe and also reciprocate. The thing is she says that she thinks our sex is great and tells her friends about it - we do connect emotionally and the sexual flow overall between us is good, which just makes this issue more confusing. - The idea that guys don't like to please girls. I asked her if she has ever experienced sexual abuse. She said she hasn't (not sure if she was avoiding the topic or not). In response she brought up something like "man, you don't know what it is like to be judged by society. And all these feminist articles that says 'Reclaim the famle orgasm' and things like that." Basically she has this idea that guys actually don't want to please their girls, and thinks going down on girls feel gross. We also spoke about she sometimes meets guys that seem to want to make the girl cum for their own ego. - Can't lead her to deep relaxation, Thyroid Hormones / Energy Problems Furthermore she takes hormones for the thyroid (don't know if it is Hypo or Hyper-thyroid). I can't do relaxation exercises with her either (as in trying to experiment with sexual hypnosis etc), she easily loses concentration and has some energy problems and / or stress and/or sleep disorders - daytime she is very alert but nighttime falls asleep instantly (like when we lay down to do breathing exercise). Other than that she has a crazy, emotionally abusive father that she is barely in contact with. - When things get intense during oral sex she wants out When I go down on her it is as though she feels like it gets too intense and wants out of it before I can make her cum. She wants me to go inside her as quickly as possible, which is what she does enjoy. Found a retailer of Magic Wand, buying one next week. - Maybe she is also desensitized from frequent solo masturbation? I noticed that she (seemingly without even thinking about it) is touching herself (yup, rubbing herself without hiding it even) some mornings when she is barely awake and feeling stressed, it doesn't even seem like a sexual thing to her. Does that relate at all to what you brought up @Justine ? A while ago when we casually spoke about masturbation she said that she usually thinks about previous sex she has had when she masturbates (which feels a bit awkward for me since I know she only ever came with one specific guy). @somegirl Ofcourse what feels best to her is king. @Sine I did try to guide her to cum for me once but it didn't quite work at that time. Furhtermore as I wrote above to Leo I can't really do relaxation techniques with her - she doesn't really follow and falls asleep easily / loses concentration. @ChamberOfReflection Relating to what you are saying, with previous GFs it hasn't been an issue. Never made anyone cum using my dick actually, only clitoral. Wrote more above. @flowboy Thanks for the tip, it might be something we could try. Currently residing in the middle of Europe but otherwise in Scandinavia. @bejapuskas You brought up a good point. For more info see above but overall I would say I am not being attached to her cuming when I am actually with her. Many thanks for the other input / comments as well.
