Vision is a continuous process with the blink breaking the sequence. Science has shown us that the average shutter speed for human is somewhere around 1/50th of a second.
less “queer relationships are perfectly normal and not inherently disgusting” more “american gender and family norms are a dizzying combination of white supremacy and state violence and it is our duty to point out how much violence and coercion is required to maintain their supremacy at all times”
You’ll often feel like you’re a pendulum swinging from one extreme to another. You go hard, you’re reading Atomic Habits, you’re eating the organic veggies for lunch AND dinner, the apartment is immaculate, you look and feel great…until…until quite literally the opposite. Washing your hair becomes a chore, you’re in a mood with the dog and your organised healthy eating has now become something you have to do, and in turn tastes like crappy vegetables with no soul or life. Why has self love become such an uphill effort?
This is because you’ve focused on the doing. The joy of self love has been missing, yes you can meditate for 40 days. Yes, you can go for runs throughout the week, but where is your joy? When is your inner child getting play? As important as the reading, the pilates classes, the podcasts are. You need joy. And this is why you rebel. You want to scroll on your phone instead of reading that book, you want to make something quick because you’re not in the mood to cook the Ottelenghi recipe or make the seed cycling crackers. Because adulting 247 is not fun. You need variety, play, laughter. When did life become so serious? Understand that you need a break from cooking, a takeout once a week is a healthy balance. Watching a movie during the week is not a sin, and it doesn’t need to be on Gaia. The self development books are great, but so is fiction and a little fantasy. Disciplined mornings are life changing, but so is sleeping in on Sunday, and having no set regiment. Balance is key, and not having balance is the reason why self love is starting to feel like a chore. So take some time to reflect on your ‘level up regiment’ and throw some balance in to the mix, adding some play, and a sprinkle of laughter. What you’ll start to see is that the swinging pendulum finds some middle ground and self love is really in the sweet spot called balance.
I experimented at working without Focusmate last week just to see what effect it would have on my focus, and my output dropped by a whopping 50%. https://www.focusmate.com/
I honestly don't care how it works at this point, I only know it works.
Six weeks in, the best investment I've made in a long time, and since the monthly cost is the price of a Starbucks, I can't recommend it enough.
This combined with binaural beats and deep focus sound bath music (all free on youtube) and I'm good to go.
I'll sit there and work two hours and it feels like twenty minutes.
This migraine relief video above also has the green light that seems to soothe the pain.
None of the "instant migraine relief" videos really cure it, but they do seem to give some relief.
You want to become "her"? Then why are you choosing to repeat the same patterns every day? You cannot live the life you want by clinging to your old one. Let her go. When you wake up in the morning, I want you to pretend that you are living the life you desire right now. You think your role model can get caught slacking? NO. They have eyes on them 24/7, they cannot be seen as a 'failure' and neither can you. Stand up and take responsibility.
