Don't 'Negotiate' With Your Monkey Mind.

When you are trying to resist your impulses: 'Your Monkey Mind', it will start negotiating with you to convince you to do it anyway.

The Monkey Mind will say things like:

I have to have 'something'.

Just this one time.

One last time. We'll quit tomorrow.

The world is ending anyways.

I was behaving good for a long time, that compensates.

It's different now. I can stop any time these days.

I need this right now for my mental health.

One final blowout.

Het is feest. (It's party time.)


It all quatsch (BS). When The Monkey Mind is telling you arguments to do the wrong thing, tell it: "I love you, but not today little friend."


peace! ✌️

Reasons NOT To Subscribe To DeMorgen Newspaper.

Review of DeMorgen newspaper / news app. Review van DeMorgen krant / nieuws app. My apologies for this bleak post, but I want to warn people for their wallet and mental health. You won't find bad reviews because they get deleted. You can only review their app's functionality. You will find they won all sorts of awards for journalism. In my naivety I thought journalism meant facts. Their subscription deal is A SCAM. They don't tell you that you are on the hook for 3 years. That's hidden in the terms. And it takes just a few seconds to subscribe. I basically got scammed for about 600 EUROS. I keep downloading their app as a sunken cost fallacy, but it's bad for my mood and mental health. The first thing you will notice when you get your subscription: you get advertisements. That means you are the product they are selling. You will get push notifications sometimes 3 times per day with opinion pieces by immigrants about how evil white people are. The result is that you ...

Updated: How I Lost 32kg (70lbs) Without Getting Hungry

Written for the nicest girl from Brussels I know. ❗️For plant based nutrition advice, don't turn to a rando like me. Instead, check out the following website by actual dieticians that studied and got a diploma:  https://veganhealth.org/ ❗️WARNING ❗️: If you eat mostly plants, you need to plan carefully and supplement.  You need to eat plenty of legumes (Beans, Chickpeas, Greenpeas, Lentils, Soy Products | dried raw legumes need to be soaked in plenty of water for minimun 12 hours, then cooked for a minimum of 60 minutes), Whole Grains, Vegetables, Dark Leafy Greens, Mushrooms, Fruits, Nuts and Seeds, Herbs and Spices. You need to take a multivitamin that includes Vitamine B12, Vitamine D, Vitamin A, Calcium, Zinc, Selenium, Iodine… Also take an algea sourced Omega 3 DHA and EPA supplement. Do not exceed the daily recommendations of supplements! If you are not used to eating lots of fiber, introduce whole plants into your diet slowly, to give your gut bacteria time to adjust. B...

Concise Guide To Eating Mostly Plants

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/ DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING I WRITE.  I started writing this guide at the beginning of my journey. It's a mess, and I now know better. Especially when it comes to supplements. I now take a multivitamin that contains B12, D, Selenium, Iodine... and I take an Omega 3 algea supplement which Plant Eaters anecdotally need. I make sure there is always soup in the fridge that includes Beans or Lentils and Dark Leafy Greens. I still agree with a lot of this advice, but changed my mind on some of it. I advise you to read websites and books by qualified people like: Books: Vegan For Life, Nourish Subscribe to the newsletters of the websites: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health...
