8 Months Of Leo-my Results

2 posts in this topic

Hi, My name is Matt. I wanted to share with you how far I've come after consistently watching leo's videos for 8 months.

     I feel like I have my mind back, the manic depressive thoughts i was dealing with have practically disapeared. I found the courage to take extreme risks and every one has paid out in some way. For example I dove into a job opportunity thousands of miles away as a door to door salesman, and I completely killed it $$$.

     I was always smart but unmotivated to finish school, I finished failing my fourth semester in a row about the time I started to watch leos content. Now I am going back to a different college in 2 weeks to chase a different degree, I cant say how great it feels to finally be chasing a career I can be passionate about (biology).

 I understand the nature of thought much better now, I feel this is one of the more important things to work on daily, It really has tamed my mind. I always thought I had development some sort of mental illness in my early 20's, however I am confident now that it was simply emotions going unchecked.

The most important lesson I learned was pain tolerance, tolerance toward yourself, others, and tasks at hand. Things will only happen in the way I want them to happen if I am ready to embrace the physical and mental strain that is required. One of the best ways I found to practice this, was cold water training. I picked this method over leos sit-and-do-nothing-mediation because it is simply the most painful way to sit and do nothing. There is also a extreme health benefit, your brown-fat activators go off the charts (300x more energy production than any other cell in your body) your brown fat cells during this process of keeping you alive put out a immense cardio exercise. If you are interested in brain development, this is a feather you should put in your cap. Due to increased blood flow and a ton of endorphins you will never feel so alive and alert. I highly recommend this approach to leos standard *accept the pain* approach. After 6 months of sitting a frozen creek or river and mediating until I couldn't move my body, my veins have became so flexible and my brown fat activation is so strong- I can cut a hole in a frozen lake and stay in it for a hour and a half. Very happy with the results. 

I started watching leo's videos to tackle my mental health, I have had so much fun trying to reinvent my health that I can't stop! I believe leo is largely to thank for my new career choice. I want to do this as my job, the possiblities with viral applications is immense. To top it off, quantum computers will accelerate advances in biology so fast..I cant see myself doing anything else. 

 To recap my results,

- increased mental clarity

-immense tolerance to cold (scheduled to break the world record for half marathon in the artic circle with no clothes in 6 months, current record holder is-wim Hoff)

-exciting new career path

- I am able to finally afford school again

 

I have a long way to go, there are still very many problems to address, accept, and conquer. to end this post, my advice to you all would be to pair mental health work and physical health together, go extreme and stay on the path. There are wonderful things I can exsperience now, there is nothing like walking up a mountain barefoot in the snow to go swimming. Something like that would have killed me quickly 8 months ago.

Me too. I am working towards becoming a neuroscientist. Do you want to collaborate?
