    Through regular practice, yoga enhances flexibility, strength, and balance while also reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and fostering mindfulness. This dual focus on the body and mind makes yoga a powerful tool for overall health and wellness. What a fantastic journey you have👏👏

    Started off with the video about productivity for creative professionals and ended up here! One day I will get a mini camper, just can’t fit it into my budget/lifestyle right now so it was really nice to watch your journey. What about one of those big battery packs (like jackery?) you just charge it up at home before heading out? They cost quite a bit but might be a good investment.

    This video actually moved me to tears because it was like you were talking about me too, and made me feel like there isn’t actually something wrong with me after all! Thank you, really loved hearing you both talk. I even considered sending this to people in my life who don’t understand why I don’t just do things very easily. Particularly the desperation for isolation, and the fact that it is normal to be creative in so many different ways (which I sometimes use to scare myself into thinking that I should stop pursuing one particular area if I am not 100% into only that one thing). Much appreciated, thank you.

I hated how I felt like I was more of a burden than a hard-working student. But now, I feel a bit better in myself, I write slow yes, but i make sure to do the best job I possibly can, and i get good grades because of that. Thanks, Azlan

    There are remarkable similarities between the practices this course organiser uses and those used by cultic organisations to reel in, ensnare, indoctrinate and extract from people. This includes: • the love bombing, • the emotional mining and chaos, • the physical characteristics of the space in which the event takes place, • the intensity and length of the event, • the generation of a sense of deep inadequacy while at the same time holding out the promise of limitless potential; • the well baked in sense that if it is not working, it is because you are not doing it enough or correctly - for the techniques themselves will never be at fault; • the emphasis on total, complete or utter transformation of oneself, one's life and/or one's brain, • the intense follow up - masquerading of course as encouragement; • the money - ah yes - the money - the entire point of it all of course! One could go on for this is replete with copy cat indoctrination techniques. Before you get snagged by this, do your own research about how undue influence works, ensure your critical faculties are fully functioning and talk it over with the most sensible and least impressionable person you know. This stuff does not survive contact with scrutiny. Mind your resources and your money - these guys will be more than happy to mind it for you.

      @@momen78699 I thought the masterclass was fantastic. They were upfront about the cost of the training at the start so you weren't shocked at the end. The masterclass alone was so informative and I even came away with some tips that have helped me day to day since. It gives you an understanding of how your brain is working and why we think the way we do. In the end I decided to not got for the full training because it really is just too expensive for me. But I'm so glad I went to the free masterclass. When I went I didn't know it was going to be 6 hours because I was an idiot and didn't check. Once I realised i was already sitting in the hall. Bit honestly it was soo interesting that the time just flew by for me! If you go I suggest you make sure to take food with you as the break you get is really short and there aren't many shops near by.

    If you're feeling burnt out or harassed or just soul crushed at your job for months (or years) - get out sooner than later. Longer the tolerating and settling, the longer the recovery. Being bold and adventurous to raise standards with what is sustainable and acceptable is key. Nevermind "is what it is" - "nobody's perfect" - "can't choose everything" - "work is work" , meaningless phrases compared to a more personally designed life choosing work and routines that suit us best, expand us.
