It's Okay To Feel Bad Sometimes. Pain Is A Teacher.

A lot of the problems in the world and in our minds are caused by an inability to experience discomfort.

We give in to urges and compulsions. 

We do not confront shame. 

We can't accept an unpleasant fact like climate change or mortality or that we wasted years. 

We procrastinate because our emotion is trying to discourage us. 

We want to cut corners or quit. 

We can't confront that we caused harm. 

We can't take criticism. 

We can't let go of an old identity that we sunk a lot of resources into. 

We fear enforcing a personal boundry.

and so on

Don't be ruled by emotion. Our minds were adapted to live in a tribe in nature, and our instincts only care about spreading genes, but the world has changed. Our emotions are telling us something. We shouldn't suppress our emotions. But we shouldn't let them be in charge either.

If you can accept discomfort, and plow ahead anyway, you will be growing and moving forward. 

It's okay to feel bad sometimes. Emotions are not life threatening. Don't run from emotions. Don't push them down. But don't identify with them either as in "this is who I am". Don't submit to emotions. 


peace! ✌️

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...

The following is my ultimate Plant Based Hack: Simple Beans&Greens Soup. The outcome of 10 years of mistakes. I had to gain a lot of experience to end up with something very simple and easy. Beans&Greens Soup make healthy plant based living low effort. I always have this in the fridge, and it’s part of my daily routine. !WARNING! Eating mostly whole plants is one of the best choices you can make to minimize the harm you do to our fellow animals, your body and the wildlife on this tiny dying planet. But you need to plan carefully and supplement. You need to eat a wide variety of Whole Grains, Legumes (Beans, Lentils), Dark Leafy Greens, Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts&Seeds, Herbs&Spices. You need to supplement. I take a multivitamin that includes Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Zinc, Selenium, Iodine... and an algea sourced Omega 3 DHA and EPA supplement.
