Look how conscious you are of your tooth when you have a toothache. When you donโ€™t have a toothache, youโ€™re not even aware you have a tooth, or that you have a head, for that matter, when you donโ€™t have a headache.โ€

"Youโ€™re never so centered on yourself as when youโ€™re depressed. Youโ€™re never so ready to forget yourself as when you are happy. Happiness releases you from self. It is suffering and pain and misery and depression that tie you to the self.

One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ... Donโ€™t stop to marvel.

Take all the energy you spend on...

- worrying about the past
- worrying about the future
- worrying about what others think
- worrying about if you might fail

... and channel that energy into one useful action within your control. - James Clear

Bufo, dessert toad venom, or 5-MeO-DMT. My first experience with this medicine was mellow, subtle, and also powerful. I had a lot to think about after this journey, so naturally I wrote it in a blog post. See if you can find it ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ’–

The power of DnD:

@criticalrole.bsky.social raised over $350K for those affected by the wild fires in LA in a SINGLE 4+ hour stream.

Also in LA, top Twitch streamer Shroud has raised over $676K during January for his MONTH-LONG Fragathon cancer charity.

This is mind-boggling

New blog post up on VirtuTea.life. This one is called The Work and is a fun way to introduce a practice that I am very invested in. Something that has helped to improve my life in a very simple and meaningful way, Inquiry.

Itโ€™s important to mention that this was a pilot study with limited participants, and the researchers did not measure cardiovascular disease (just the improvements to risk factors)

I do love my creatine. Really helps with bouncing back after a workout - A new study found that creatine improves your cardiovascular system โ€” and those benefits increase as you age.

With the new year, people are always making resolutions. I have been going to the pool 3 days a week for a few months now to swim laps. If the lanes are fun, and I can't swim (or maybe run?) laps, this channel has some great alternatives.

See channel in comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡

So this year, instead of just setting goals or building habits, focus on your self-perception and shutting out the negative thoughts and beliefs.
