@Carl-Richard @Lazertazer @The0Self Thank you guys! I was considering not experimenting again, but this gave me hope. I will go into future trips with this advice in mind Also kinda random but does anyone have advice on what you guys do when you have parents in the house? I tried it before with them in the house and it was prob not a good idea I could go to a nature spot but considering it lasts 12 hours, idk how I would use the bathroom, or even just stay there for that long.

I've experimented with tons of techniques, so far this is my current routine daily: wim hof method 10 mins (somewhat powerful) do nothing 25 mins (pretty powerful) sadhguru's kriya yoga and hatha yoga (wouldn't say it is powerful, but I see a difference in the quality of effect compared to the first 2 techniques) This takes about 45 mins to 55 mins per day I don't want to do shamanic breathing every day, because I think that is more of a weekly thing. Kriya yoga I don't want to do from a book (sadhguru says book yoga could be dangerous) What other techniques are worth trying out? I do want to have enlightenment experiences, and all the benefits of real kriya yoga, but also I don't want to have such a shift in my reality that it freaks me out or anything like that, like psychedelics. Any suggestions? I did hear of "zazen" i think @Leo Gura got any suggestions? My friend keeps telling me to place my attention on "I am" .. I think that is freaky too lmao so i'll leave that one out

@Nahm Oh yes, I do that with Sedona method 24/7, feeling into it, allowing it, accepting it, letting it go. Even do nothing has that aspect often. Love doing this. I feel more at peace, more fearless

@PurpleTree Idk every time i do it, it freaks me out. Not necessarily the technique being freaky. Sometimes I like it, but sometimes like my perspective shifts very quickly and it just scares me

@Avi Khomutovsky Damn man I'm legit in the exact same boat! 25 years old, "strategically" doing a marketing business for 1 year before I take off for my music career. I'll give you some reasons why I chose the marketing business route first, rather than diving in straight into a music career first: 1) You probably don't want to stay too long at your parents house. And to move out of your parents' house can take many years if you're doing a music career first. 2) I have more baseline needs, desires, and priorities that need to be met first. Like think about it, going full on into a music career sounds beautiful. And I get tempted too. But you might suffer a lot, if you don't have a quality social life, the girls you want, a proper health foundation, money to live in a nice place. 3) A music career can take 4 to 10 years before you are making money. It takes time to get good enough to have a good following and stuff. When you get good though, I believe it'll be exponential. But music is cut-throat man. These days "good" alone isn't even going to cut it. "Great" and "world-class" also is becoming too common as the standard has gone up over the years. But with a marketing business, you can make money in 1 to 3 years, and then pursue a music career peacefully, while having a lot of your needs met, and probably use that money to get a master to train you to cut your learning curve, use the money to build a studio even, move to a nice place, etc. Plus, in a sense, life is a journey. You'll get to your music soon. But if you can be a little patient, a year or 2, you can start off music with a much more solid foundation. Then again, those are just the arguments for being strategic. Tbh I'd like to hear your counter-points to the side that I chose haha. I'm in a similar boat, and if you could tell me some strong viewpoints for doing music first, I might even shift towards doing that. I was watching Cobra Kai a few days ago, and I just kept balling. I don't usually cry either. And I realized, that I want to live that. I want to be less comfortable, live my life purpose, truly pursue my passion. As I type this, I think screw the marketing business, let me just go full on in music. But then I'm also like "all my friends are making such good money" "people are going to think I'm a failure" "I'm just quitting too easily" "Where would I even live with no money?!"

@mavelezm Is this book a diet plan or just a "sometimes detoxing protocol" ? I bought the book and its a bit confusing

@Carl-Richard Ahh gotchya, yeah I sort of figured that. I'd probably be doing it home alone anyways. Thanks for the advice

@Cubbage Hands down one of the top 5 funniest trip reports I ever read hahaha I hope I never end up doing sh*t like this I'm actually new to all this though, and this one part concerned me: I have never experienced ego death on a psychedelic before. Any advice from preventing oneself from thinking such things or doing something stupid like that? I understand where you were coming from, and I could reasonably see how you came to that conclusion, but how does one prevent oneself from acting on a thought like that, or anything like that? I'm more of the person who would micro to low dose for a few years anyways, so maybe high dosing is the problem? Or is it just being irresponsible by nature? (I don't consider myself that irresponsible) Btw I'm not dissing you at all haha

can someone help me figure out where I'm going wrong in my daily routine? My current journey is spending a few years in business to become financially independent. I'm trying to make every habit in my day somehow up my productivity in business. This is what my day looks like: Morning routine: 30 mins total of yoga, wim hof method, and meditation, 10 mins to get a glass of water, 30 mins exercise, 1 hour making a healthy breakfast + listen to an audiobook, 1 hour get ready, all in all this takes 4 hours cuz i take short naps in between and sometimes it gets stretched out cause of logistics Then I do 6 hours/day Monday to Friday of work = 30 hours/week. 2 hours in between for "productive breaks" for recharging. On a weekday, I usually don't have time for anything else. I do think I waste time on social media a few hours scrolling Tik Tok and sh** or texting friends, but that seems hard to change right now. I can try to fix that. But I don't know where else the time goes, and by the time the weekend comes I really need that recharge. Now the crazy thing is that I'll be accepting a job doing 40 hours per week soon. How in the heck am I going to do 40 hours per week of job, and 20 to 30 hours per week in business, when already my day feels packed?!? loll And I don't think I can remove any personal development habit either. I need that meditation routine, and all that stuff for health and just being in a good mental state. Thoughts on how I can improve my routine for work productivity?

@Dingo I can probably meal prep to be honest. I guess I've been lazy to get into learning that and changing my ways. Intermittent fasting I also have seen the benefits of. I was forced to eat only 1 to 2 meals a day when I was backpacking Europe. But when theres all this food in the fridge that its so easy to access I'm finding it hard to resist the hunger feelings. Is there anything you do to release those hunger feelings? And good call on the oatmeal. I take oatmeal every day, but I could definitely make it healthier and more filling with those ideas.

Nah man that wasn't harsh at all. Its a tough wake up call, and a great perspective. I like hearing stories like what you described with your boss. It shows the artificial limits we place on ourselves and what we are truly capable of Yeah, thats true. What usually happens is I do get disappointed as a reaction, but then I use Sedona method to release it loll

@ivory Yes honestly, I have been noticing all that in myself too. I actually am somewhat OCD and perfectionist, but I'm definitely working on all that. I also understand it's a lifelong journey. But I also believe I am capable of actualizing way more inner potential than I currently am. I feel like I can be putting in 2-3x more into life. But integrating all these perspectives is key, I believe. Patience with Hard work. Self-love with self-discipline. It's not easy. But I do see improvement every day

@Meditationdude damn dude you're actually SO on point. I spend 10 hours a week on Tik Tok, and literally the Tik Tok trending trends, dictionary, common comments, and stuff is so engrained in my personality now lmao its funny af actually but scary and def detrimental I gotta get off Unfortunately my business revolves around social media so I can't delete it, but I am locking up my devices from now on in a locker with no opener except a timer for 23 hours a day

@fridjonk Oh I'm on it haha I need to really fix this. And crap I really don't know. I may be eating a lot tho .. my breakfast is a smoothie, a chipotle bowl, 2 toast, and coffee

If anyone else is in a similar boat, please check your "screen time" on your phone. I've been struggling to find out where all my time is going. After journaling a lot, carefully analyzing my routine, I decided to take a look at screen time. I'm honestly so disappointed in myself, the data literally shows an average of 7.5 hours per day on my phone, of which 4 hours a day of that is in social media. My gawd I bought a lock with a timer (shark tank type product on amazon) .. just a suggestion if anyone is facing a similar thing.

@kag101 I'm actually surprised that people are surprised by this lol like I'm not even sure how to reduce it cuz .. It takes time to get the stuff out, clean up, make the food, heat it up, eat it, plus my mom distracts me for 5 to 10 mins here and there If only I had the money for a chef

@datamonster Damn when you put it like that it kinda hurts .. cuz its like where the heck is the time going?! lmao Of a 168 hour week, doing 30 hours sounds pathetic (given that I want to do 60 and feel like I can't) I think I'm going to journal how to fix this

@smurf88 Okay in all honesty, I fully resonate with that in a sense. Morning routines can be burdensome to some degree. But all the practices within the morning routine I would like to do daily. But for real like I'm trying to make money out here, and spending 5 hours in the morning doing non-business sh** it makes no sense sometimes cause I really need to step up my work ethic game. Idk so you think I should just turn this into an evening routine? lol

@LfcCharlie4 Yes it's definitely overwhelming to be honest. My purpose of the routine is for it to energize me, but I end up being a bit sleepy after it all so I nap 30 mins. I don't know where I'm going wrong, but most of my meals are meal prepped almost (my mom batch makes stuff) and I just looked, getting ready wouldn't take less than an hour. I don't know how people get it to less than that. Maybe if I rushed it, I could get it done in 30 to 40 mins, but I try to be present through it all. I think speeding up my pace might be the issue then.

@fridjonk LOL I mean by the time I change to go downstairs, and other stuff, ends up being 10 mins

Ok guys I need some brainstorming going .. I know it's my life, and I have to decide for myself and there's no one right answer .. But they all feel so right. Let me explain, and hopefully many of you are in similar boats so we can all benefit from this discussion. Okay so I'm turning 25 in one week. It's hitting me. I'm getting old. (Yeah I know I'm still a kid, but compared to the results I could have gotten and the dreams I have and what I told myself and not being able to accomplish that and what all my friends are achieving .. man I feel old) I'm still living in my parents house. I want to travel (safely), meet more girls, dive deeper into consciousness work, etc. and living with my parents makes all that hard. I need results FAST. (I understand patience, but I also know people can get insanely fast results. I'm part of a Facebook group where people start from nothing to six figures in less than a few months!!! Please let that sink in) I also have no income right now. Okay now, now that that situation is out of the way, let me present my case for all the options I have: 1. Job Pros within 2 months I'll be making 50k per year Cons When I get a job, and move out, I won't have much time to pick up girls because I'll be grinding on getting out of wage slavery by building my business. Working 60 hours per week will take a toll on my health, consciousness, etc. Then I think why make my life harder for myself. The longer I go in this route, the longer I will spend not being aligned with the person I want to be, the life I want to live, the career I want to work on (music) 2. Selling coaching and video courses Pros I spent the past 2 years learning lots of marketing, public speaking, tested my content on Tik Tok (12k followers), a lot of people came to me telling how much I helped them. I legit mastered the formula. I know exactly how to get six figures through this method. I'm almost there. Within 6 months, if I can stay motivated, which I believe I can, then I'll be at 6 figures. Cons I've been pushing off a music career my whole life. Since I was 7. It's kinda sad and hurts thinking about that. The more I spend on these re-routes, the less time I'll have to be "young" while building my career. There's something about being young and on your purpose, living the rock music life that really resonates with me. 3. Pursuing my life purpose (music career) Pros I know I'll be so much happier, so much more aligned and fulfilled, and creative, and passionate about life, and excited and connected. Cons I need money now. I need to move out now. It's literally the most important step in my life right now. If I can just hit 6-figures right now, a lot of doors open up in terms of picking up girls, travel, health, emotional mastery. May seem like an excuse, but money really is my most important next step in life. I can't wait 5 years to get good at music before I start making money when I can be earning money right now. In a sense, life purpose is not the highest priority on my list right now if I were to be honest. Higher priority goals include: making 6-figures, mastering attracting girls, and mastering my health. Just looking for input guys, please share your thoughts. I've been struggling with this for years now. @Leo Gura I would love to hear your thoughts as well man, I know you've been in similar situations in the past.

I died reading this hahah But I don't feel like I'm missing out on girls and my time is running out with them. What is happening actually is that I just have this huge desire to dive into pickup. It's desire vs. a fear of missing out. And honestly bruh I'm sure the 35-40 year old vegan chicks are cool but I'm into the innocent 20 to 22 year old college girls lmao I guess I'm the opposite in that sense. Plus how am I gonna even date a 35 year old chick at this age anyways hahaha that'd be cool tho for the experience.

@Yarco I never even thought of combining courses and music .. thats a sick idea. I lack experience in music but I can definitely pursue it and teach whatever I learn in the future. But honestly I don't know if I have the capacity to work more than 40 hours per week. I tried 50 before but that wasn't sustainable. Then again if I move out and get a job, I'll have to do 60 hours per week doing a job and business to pay the bills and stuff. It's just so overwhelming the options to choose. I also think I'll have to postpone my life purpose a bit. @Jacob Morres I like this question a lot! What makes me happiest would be pursuing a music career. But honestly I don't know if that would be the wise decision though. I can't just keep living at home. Music won't make me money for atleast 3-5 years given how much I suck at it right now. So if I move out and get a job, maybe I can do music on the side. But even then it would take so long to break out of wage slavery with music that I may just have to do job and the business I am good at right now .. sigh Yeah honestly I feel that too .. that's pretty much my life right now. Work on my business, and relax recharge on the weekends. But I feel that kind of life (atleast at this point) misses adventure and girls haha But in your situation you don't seem to have that urge to travel and pick up girls and all that right now, which I think is honestly a good thing, because you can just drill down and focus on your business. I honestly can't contain my desire to travel and pick up girls right now lol which makes this whole thing even more complicated. God I wish life was less complicated sometimes lmao Especially being in personal development theres soooo much to work on, so many desires and goals. It's hard to give one thing all of the focus. But as I'm writing this, I'm realizing how important focus on one goal really is.

@Average Investor Really interesting man. Your situation surprisingly has a lot of similarities to mine. For me also I have a pretty good set up here at home, but I realized that's what is stopping me from moving out lol so I guess even I don't know what to do in that situation. But from what it sounds like, you're earning good income. If I was in that boat, I'd feel a lot more relieved, and living at home wouldn't feel like such a problem. You figured out the formula. You're out of the desert (financially speaking lol). Yeah I understand what you mean by the fast mentality limiting me. I'm just trying to say that it's possible to have results fast, it's also likely, it's what motivates me, but also I'm having realistic expectations that this can take 2-3 years even to really breakthrough. So this point is interesting. I definitely know I can, whether it is 6 months or 1 year. Plan is solid. I'm motivated. I'm disciplined. Product and marketing is being refined daily. But I've had a long string of failures these past 1.5 years and that made me lose some confidence. So that's putting doubt into my head about my capabilities. I also feel limited at home in terms of creativity, confidence, and my ability to execute. And even though everything is great at home, I have this urge to just get out and live life like now. I feel too stuck at home. I don't know if I should give into that feeling now by getting a job, or be more patient, stay at home longer and finish building the business.

If you want more info on this, check this article out: https://www.insidehook.com/article/new-york/field-trip-psychedlic-therapy-clinic It's a pretty interesting read. But here's the problem .. This clinic only has Ketamine right now because that is the only legal one in USA I believe. It is working on getting other psychedelics in the future. I've seen many posts from you guys and @Leo Gura on how you don't recommend Ketamine for various reasons: danger factors, dissociativeness, etc. But from reading this article, it seems like if you're in a controlled environment supervised by experienced psychologists, etc. this can be incredibly safe, as they put it. So in that case, would you recommend going there? @Leo Gura Would love to hear your thoughts as well.
