Experiencing Your Cravings And Emotions With Awareness Can Make Them Dissolve

If I stay up past 21h00 (9pm) I get an overwhelming hunger attack like clockwork. It doesn't matter if I'm already full. And sometimes I get a bad feeling. Like when I make a social gaffe. For instance, recently a female friend hugged me, and I lifted her off the ground in a bear hug. I was cringing afterwards, worried I overstepped a boundary.

With Mindfulness, you can make Cravings and Bad Feelings go: poef (gone).

When you feel overwhelmed, welcome that feeling, and sit with it. Say to the feeling: "Hello there, I will take care of you".

Do not run from a bad feeling. Do not push it down. Do not react to it either. Do not indentify with your feeling. Remind yourself: "This feeling is not who I am".

Experience your feeling with awareness, curiosity and objectivity. Accept that it is there. Often, when you look into your feeling, you will realize that it is not substantial, and it will dissolve.

If a storm is brewing in your mind, or a harmful urge is triggered, you need to take a moment and take care of your mind in meditation. Sit with it. Let it happen. Take care of your feeling as if it is your baby that is crying.


peace ✌️ 💜

Short Guide To A Healthy Plant Based Diet

A Plant Based Diet is not a Vegan Or Vegetarian Diet. On a Plant Based Diet you get most of your nutrients from plants but allow for a small amount of animal products. ❗️Don't get your nutrition advice from randos like me. Instead, for advice on eating Plants, check out this FREE website:  https://veganhealth.org/ If you want to skip the whole explanation, and just know what you have to do: click here for a guide to a complete vegan meal.  Though I would recommend that you inform yourself thoroughly. Fact check this post with reputable sources. I recommend some science based sources at the end of this post. Don't fall for quacks, but you need to immerse yourself in science, to recognize the quacks. If they are selling supplements, or say "everything you learned is wrong", or sell conspiracies about the food pyramid... they are probably full of manure. The following is a great resource for health related topics:  https://www.mayoclinic.org/ Click here  for a breakfa...

Johnny Belgium’s Psychedelic Trip Guide (updated)

I started doing psychedelic drugs late in life at the age of 27 and I regret not doing them sooner. They saved me. I had a miserable life before psychedelics. I was anxious, depressed and antisocial. I was a recluse without a friend in the world. I was arguing with people in my head all day long at work, triggered by stuff on TV. I was a psychological mess. And my first LSD trip was like 20 years of therapy in one afternoon. Click here to read about my 'breakthrough' first acid trip. I have done lots of LSD and some Mushrooms. I haven’t done DMT, Ayahuasca, Mescaline,... LSD is my vice. I did MDMA twice and it made me very relaxed but also it made me very sick the day after. People often get depressed after taking XTC. I also recommend staying away from uppers or downers and sticking to psychedelics. No cocaine, no speed, no benzos or opiods like heroin or fentanyl, ... They are not good drugs. They will eff up your life. Stick to tripping if you are going to partake in drugs. ...

Stop Your Addiction With Mindfulness

Our gut and brains evolved for hundreds of millions of years in nature. Civilization has created hyperstimulating products that hijack our primitive reward system. For instance. We are programmed by evolution to seek out salt, fat and sugar. So corporations make products loaded with those. We are programmed to achieve goals, so corporations make video games. We depend on others in nature, with social media we can connect to everyone in the world. And organizations, legal or otherwise, sell drugs that chemically trigger a reward directly, like alcohol, tabacco, cocaine or weed. Sometimes an addiction can be productive. Like a work addiction, an exercise addiction or an addiction to optimizing your diet for health. But productive addictions can also lead you down a harmful path.  Dopamine is the motivation chemical. It actually releases in anticipation of something exciting. You get your first hit of dopamine before your behavior. Another name for addiction is habit-forming. When you...
