Pebble

I just came to a realisation. One of the reasons (obviously there are many other reasons too) is the fact that I own too much stuff. It doesn't bring me happiness at all. Getting rid of stuff takes so much time and effort but I will stick to it. I want to own way less.

Hi everyone, I have many issues with sleeping since I was a child. Now it's time to do something about it. I'm bipolar by the way, we often have trouble sleeping. All tips would be welcome.

Hi, I have a very low income for the moment yet I seem to be addicted to buying nonsense. Anyone else having that problem? I actually want to save up money before going to south-east Asia on a trip, where I love to go and where I finally can enjoy life.

I managed to save a little money even though I have a very low income so for the moment it’s working . The only missteps I made were drinking which I want to avoid until I go on vacation.

I have to be honest, I cheated a lot. But the last girl I cheated on (and of course she found out) was the worse thing that happened to me. She was the most perfect girl in every sense I can find. I have been part of a pickup-artist group and at one point my purpose in life was to have sex with lots of women which I don't regret but now it has backfired to me badly.

I'd like to know you're opinion on this. I already quit watching television 10 years ago, I don't watch tv-shows, I sometimes watch videos on youtube that I find informative (that's how I accidentally found one of Leo's video's ). But what I still do is watch a french alternative news website, I find it very informative but it's a bit of an addiction and it can also make me angry and fills me with bad thoughts about the world/society. Should I completely stop this, geopolitics is a distraction, true. But it's also a passion at the same time for me.

I almost succeeded in NOT doing it, I suppose it's toxic behaviour.

32 years old, I was looking at youtube videos to get rid of my Ego to improve my game, that's how I found one of the vids from Leo 2 weeks ago (I'm a Pua since 10 years right now) but there is so much more to learn here.

My Psychoanalyst once told me that the desire to stay alive can be very strong, he's a doctor also and he told me that once he saw a cop with a bullet in his head obviously in a very bad situation but still alive. I have had a lot of depression in my life, why didn't I attempted suicide yet? Because I am just too scared to die anyways or even worse being crippled.

I just had a huge craving for French fries (I come from Belgium where you can basically get them almost everywhere) but I succeeded in resisting the temptation.

Thanks, great video indeed. How do I actually do shadow work or should I just watch this video now and then to become aware of my « shadow »?

I'm not sure about that, it hurts me so much when it's over with a great girl (and yes I have experience in dating a lot so I know my standards are high).

Yes I believe you are right. I don't meditate right now, I always find excuses not to do so. Even if I'm aware that I just find excuses I (momently) have a really hard time to force myself to do so. Can you give me a good link of an explanation of shadow work?

Okay this is what I'm going to do for now, I love travelling, it's the only thing i can really enjoy to the fullest .

Is this a crazy tought? I mean, if I could live a minimalistic lifestyle for 11 month I could afford to have great travelling experience for the 12th month.

I have expertise in online dating, hell I've been doing it for at least the past 6 years, so I've got laid a lot. It can turn into an addiction but I don't regret it (I do regret cheating on 2 of the girls). I don't think this is something you should meditate away, Picking up girls is definitely something every man should learn. Right now I do admit I'm tired of it, but at least I know how to talk to women, what to avoid etc...

Nice, I'm not planning to rely on a Van (would take too much time to save up, I'm allready 32, not old but not young anymore) but rather just travel by flights. I've allready been 3 months in total in South-East Asia and I have the best memories of my life there.

This lifestyle seems better to me than just staying in my homecountry all the time where I get depressed, I love South-East Asia and I was thinking about this lifestyle to be able to travel there at least a month a year. It gives me an incentive for saving up too.

Great idea, I will write it in this thread when I have a craving to buy or when I bought something.. Well first of all I have to tell I'm Bipolar which is a mood disorder (one thing that is common with bipolars is that they go on spending sprees and buy too much things) etc... I didn't know it at the time (wasn't diagnosed) and before (when I had money, I used to spend like 2000$ each month on useless expensive things (watches, technology, living in a place with too high rent etc.... Nowadays I'm not in this case anymore, I accepted I couldn't spend money anymore like I used to, I wan't to live a pretty minimalistic lifestyle (except when I travel). It's hard for me to pass by a store and not buy softdrink or food. So nowadays I want to cut out buying things out of boredom, even if this means not buying an overprized can of Coke somewhere. Or quit beer completely....etc....All those little things add up and I would like to save a little bit money to travel. List of useless things I used to buy recently: - Drinks: alcoholic or non alcoholic (except water in a supermarket of course) - Illegal drugs or unprescribed meds (yes I used to have trouble with that too) - Snacks - Food that isn't nutritional or from a supermarket - Cigarettes
