Yoyoyo!
What's up!!
Been gone for a few years.. and crazy things happening around the world.. but looks like its settling down a bit now.
Life's been crazy here:
- Had an amazing and beautiful 80/20 ups and downs, 4 year relationship with a wonderful woman who showed me a kind of love I hope every person on earth gets to experience.
- Moved around 8 times in the last 7 years. Now living in the most expensive place of them all, with the best view, with a residents only gym, 2 minutes walking distance (but I'm also more busy now than ever with more business responsibilities)
- Friends I used to go to bars with are either married with kids or have become girlfriend chained.. so time for new, younger friends or soloing it again, pushing the comfort-zones.
Not gonna go too much in detail as I did in the past lol.. I'm older now, with a lot of things going on and little time, so we'll keep it sweet and short.. like how I like my girls
Anyway, this is me LionMonkey doing a weekly post on my new beginnings with Alpha Male once again.
Short recap of my consumption of self-development:
- I haven't used a subliminal in 5-6 years or so.
- Last 6 months or so, I've been doing more inner work through meditations, visualizations and energy work.
- 6-7 times a week, every morning I do a 35-45 minutes guided meditation for more control over myself and my life.
The invisible war that has been going on since the TV but has become more advanced to a smartphone & tablet and now very easily accessible entertainment and vortexes designed to suck your mind in.
This is an invisible war that's going on while physical life goes on. Beware of this when using subliminals or any kind of self-development stuff...
- On the Danger that lies before us and in front of us...Having been more involved with running a business daily with a physical location, being in contact with the customers, it has given me much better insight into how much B.S. there actually are on the webs and social media. – it's all about implementation, trying, failing, course-correcting. Speed of implementation is key in business but I think also in life. That's why I realize that the webs and social media entertainments are the opposite. They are vortexes that suck you in and before you know it, you can't use the key because your speed is gone. You got no speed left. It's sucked into the vortex of short dopamine hits. Eventually leading to learned helplessness – something I've witnessed with people in my life unfortunately and sometimes myself, when I had a period of braindeadly watching stuff on youtube or reading articles after articles.So yeah.. that's what we've come to. An invisible war against attention vortexes. Trying to win this invisible war so that we can live the best life possible and strive to live with our fullest potential.It's not so hard to win this war when you aren't in the habit of it. The danger lies in that it is very easy it becomes a habitual thing because of the dopamine hits you get for doing very little.
- If you are a parent, you must be more strict with your kids than ever with this. I've seen how helpless the kids become being glued to those tablets or smartphones. It's a disgusting sight and parents let them because they can become free of their kids. That's a FAILED PARENTHOOD!
- May real life, movement in real life and interest & curiosity of real life be victorious over tiny dots on a screen.
Anyway, this post got longer than expected lol. I'll try to post an update every Sunday.
Until then,
Excited to see how AM will work out.
Thanks for reading,
