Sugarcoat

Eating low calorie food is one way to be in a deficit yes. I prefer though to eat any food (healthy) but just in smaller quantities I have recently wanted to cut back on sugary stuff even more. For example by trying some healthy dessert recipes that uses things like maple syrup for example, but I don’t know how that compares to sugar when it comes to health, maybe it’s almost the same. And maybe a homemade sweet dessert isn’t so bad after all, the store bought is atleast worse. Fruit smoothie sounds tasty, some time I will try No problem I’m glad it peaked your interest

Calories matter if you’re trying to lose weight which I’m trying to currently. But I still eat healthy (except dessert on weekends). So nutritional value and health matters too of course. Calorie counting is not necessary it only matters that you eat less compared to what you usually eat at maintenance (if you’re trying to lose weight). But it can be nice to know the approximate calories sometimes when it’s harder to eyeball how much you should eat to lose or maintain the weight. The app is called “cal ai” on AppStore, the slogan is of a white apple with black background. https://www.calai.app/

Haha

The best thing I have done for my health is reduce stress honestly . Skin improved, bloating improved etc

No problem. First step is that recognition you’re on the right path

Separate feelings from your logic. First step is to become aware of emotionally biased thinking and see it for what it is. Be more interested in the truth of the matter, truth in general to “shield” against this tendency. Be interested in your own reactions and understanding of yourself so you can have a neutral observational view of your own mind/emotions and be open to them and see them for what they are.

So he has brain damage that makes him act slow or something so it’s frustrating to deal with him? I understand you might not wanna show you’re angry because it can come off as disrespectful. The only thing I can come up with is you could maybe express your frustration some time in a calm respectful manner, like sharing your problem. Or take some deep breaths and remove yourself from him from a little while when anger comes up

It’s because you don’t know how to deal with it yourself #burn #micdrop

Sometimes anger or frustration can come about when we aren’t confident in our ability of asserting ourselves in relation to others, or setting boundaries. So that lack of healthy expression in those areas can cause build up of frustration, both within ourselves or directed at others. So learning to deal with those weaknesses and develop a healthy expression of assertiveness and boundaries etc can help to not have built up frustration. One example is like how a people pleaser can develop frustration

There’s probably a bunch of things the average Muslim isn’t following strictly , or haven’t even heard of because they haven’t read the holy scripture. You can be religious and follow a religion to a degree, doesn’t have to be every little thing, because that would rule out most Muslims probably. A lot of it is up for interpretation too.

The thing is that humans form attachments to others because it’s literally wired into us. There are things though that could make the attachment tendency worse and stronger such as any insecurity within yourself (could cause avoidant attachment too but that’s still a form of attachment which can come with idealizing someone for example) so if you work on your eventual insecurities it could help. Also the mind in general is such it forms attachments it’s really hard to rewire that tendency but I believe it’s possible if you really want it, gotta get to the root of what’s causing your attachments. Also some degree of attachment can be acceptable for example missing someone when they’re not there doesn’t have to be unhealthy or much of a hindrance in life

First step would be overcoming that barrier you have around girls (in this example European you mentioned) you’re missing out chances because of your fear. Maybe you idealize them in your head you need to put them off that pedestal. Meet someone with openness and not some premade image you have of them

When you indulge too much in the modern easily accessible pleasures your dopamine system gets “drained” and you end up not being able to enjoy it as much as if you did it more sparingly. I think a balance is key, sure if you wanna go the extreme route and unhook yourself from the pleasures all together that would probably create a richer experience of life as more mundane things will be enough to give you some “dopamine”, but I think it’s nice to include some of that pleasure but sparingly and if you do it sparingly you’re able to enjoy it more than if you do it too often because you’re not draining your dopamine. That’s ideal imo. A simple example is if you eat sweets too much it stops being as tasty. That’s how it works for the brain. Maybe I sound too obvious lol. Sometimes I be like that

I didn’t know what else to say honestly hahah😹I don’t understand how “just ignore them” is narcissistic/arrogant

What you seem to want more specifically is the ability to be detached. So that’s like the main thing you’ve identified from the ascetic monks mindset that you wanna adopt. So focus on that one. Sometimes just staying away from the things and people we are attached to forces us to eventually let go of the attachment, but you said you wanna remain the lifestyle you have, so that might not be an option. Observe your mind when it acts in attached way that is one step, it’s hard to be neutral observer but it’s possible

I see

100 g bark, i didnt weigh the yield so I cant answer that but it was just a little bit

He over exaggerated for fun. It actually went well. The only con was that my parents eventually found my stuff and threw it all away. That’s a bit of a story

What you’re describing is the average human. And yes they are ridden with so called low consciousness tendencies. But there is a way to elevate that through having a healthy ego. An ego isn’t always a bad thing, it’s judge mental and neurotic tendencies that’s kind of built into its design can be improved through creating a healthier ego. Because at the end of the day almost everyone will have an ego, and then might as well have a healthy highly developed one. Because even those few people that tap into non dual state (I think the flow state can be non dual too) always return back to the ego after, so might as well improve it. A ego is always gonna have its judgments and neurotic tendencies but it can be greatly reduced. So you could develop a kind of “highly conscious” ego. That’s a bit of a paradox but in a way it’s possible. An ego that has experienced the loss of ego for example, when returned to can be more “conscious” than before. That’s how I see it.

When you say being present it sounds to me like you mean a calm, non emotional, stress free, state with less thought. And yes from that frame of mind one can make better decisions. It’s easier to use one’s intelligence when one is calm and collected aka present

I’ve tried to extract dmt from mimosa hostilis root bark at home, and it worked, although I didn’t get that much dmt from it, but I vaporized it and it worked (I only got a small effect from it because I’m a beginner when it comes to vaporizing or psychedelics in general so didn’t have the best technique) @Schizophonia was the one who showed me the tek I needed to buy some equipment . In general it was a fun project to undertake imo

Hahah thats good you tagged me because I do have input in this

If she didn’t care about losing you she wouldn’t go to the date at all. With work is different because you have an obligation to work

Ok

Doesn’t the price vary too?
