From a pure neurochemical point of view alone, avoiding or eliminating most things which imbalance dopamine sensitivity is a HUGE help in becoming a more authentically happy, holistic human being.
Things like porn, masturbation/ejaculation, video games, social media, TV, processed and sugary foods, and drugs. Especially drugs and porn though.
Over my self development journey starting in my late teens (now 22) slowly and gradually changing my habits to eliminate these things have turned me into a completely new person. Combine them with things you are already doing, such as the meditation and subliminals, and you're ready to rock the world!
Looking forward to seeing more updates
Hi there!
I'm totally with you on that one. I have been smoke free for around 1,5 year, porn free for around the same amount of time. Both those things are just shitty for yourself.
I drink sometimes in social settings, but maybe just once every second week. I like to party Video games not so much, not so much social media either. Just to check in what people do, not in a compulsive manner. Things like these are alright, but I think that when we do them compulsory, its deteriorating for ourselves. I got a bit of a sweet tooth and I like baking so I'm still stuck with that one But not to much, I can see it as a "treat" and something to look forward to eat and really enjoy, as a hot bath - i (usually) don't just cram it into my mouth.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your words of encouragement

I feel more balanced and grounded. Beforehand I was very much black or white on habits, things i did and opinions. Now I have a more steady flow in my life, I follow my routines but I am not a slave under them. I balance things more as I go. I see the fun perspective of life again, where everything doesn't have to be so damn serious.
I really like the root chakra meditation I am doing every evening, and I feel how I need to work some more with that to become grounded and "normal" if you may (not spaced out as I have felt) and more like a human being. For you who haven't worked with chakras - the root chakra is about our feeling of security and safety. Our ability to feel secure in our own skin, whatever happens on the outside. When we get traumatized or worry for to long time, the root chakra can get blocked, and we loose our sense of safety.
This is what happened to me after having a bad "trip" on weed, where I totally lost contact with reality and my body, and got so damn scared that I have a hard time to put it into words. I also got some kind of derealization and lost contact with what was real and wasn't, and I somewhat suspect I got a psychosis. As I work with the root chakra I can feel a bit uneasy and feel fear, but I feel as i work with it, towards a more safe way of being, and become safe in my own skin again - so that feels good
