Practicality.

@Peace and Love Leo's like 30 something i think.

If mindfulness helps me get more joy out of a nice good meal wouldn't that also mean that something thats painful will be more painful? I dont get it. Lol. Still gonna meditate regardless just a little concern.

@Loreena Makes more sense Thanks ya @Arman @Loreena @PureExp

@Arman ooooooh

?

i sort of like to keep track of the things that i do and dont do so that later i could see why i get the results that i get.

@pluto wow thanks for your input!!

How good does enlightenment really feel compared to other worldly pleasures? Like lets say i took some meth would enlightenment still feel better lol? Is enlightenment all what i really should be striving for? There's some stuff that i would like (really really would like) to experience just before i shift my life in the direction of enlightenment would those worldly things really be worth it? Could you guys make a comparison of enlightenment to other things in terms of pleasure or satisfaction. How good really is enlightenment?

The six pillars of self esteem is a good start for increasing self esteem i definitely feel some subtle improvements within myself and i'm only the second pillar. Mindfulness meditation seems like it might be the better meditation practice when it comes to being able to deal with anxiety or any emotions for that matter. Its been said that cold showers cure depression better than medication so you might want to take a look into that. Eating healthy and exercise (even just simple 20 or 30 minute walks) also couldn't hurt taking part in. Nofap has also been found to be as something that could increase ones confidence. I made it to 29 days and have really seen some slight improvements. Leo might come out with a video about this so be on the look out for that. But i guess at the end of the day the real cure to anxiety is just facing it head on. Taking small baby steps to getting out ones comfort zone everyday is probably the key.

Also dont start with all these (habits, exercises, practices) at once just pick one that seems the most appropriate to the situation and circumstance your in right here right now and then from there just build on it

@Christian If its the only thing that motivates you than yes keep the anger cause its better having some type of motivation (negative or positive) than to not be motivated at all. Although i say this try working on transitioning your negative motivation to positive motivation. Negative motivation usually comes with the "yo-yo effect" so you could only get so far with it. If you havent seen this video i recommend you watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blI9D8ZeC38
