    I would like to say to those of us who struggle with exercise, I found that putting on a timer, even for 5 minutes or (2mins, or 1 even) and do some movement for just that short stretch of time. Somehow it works to get moving and you might then find you want to hit the timer for another 5, maybe. I got this from Rangan Chatterjee and it works. Please try before dismissing.
    Thanks for this episode with the various individuals featured and also appreciate the lack of flashy introduction. Nicely done.

      Thats very helpful!
      I feel the same. Even a tiny yogasession has huge benefits.
      I think many people think they need a full workout and perform to their best and push themselves too hard.

    Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

      I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

      Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

      Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

      Mannn, love you dude!
      Yes i said love...
      You got this, it's hard...
      Yoo!
      Its worth it, i promise you 💯
      You just cant see how worthwhile it is because you are clouded from the thc,
      And you have other reasons why you smoke.
      so once you quit, those issues you have get easier to deal with.
      it's just been a while since we were "normal"
      My person, it has a lot of other unintentional effects that really affect us that others tried to warn us about.
      We are the ones that always ignore and disregard them.
      My mothers like "son I've tried to get through to you"
      That shit broke me... Woof
      But man, did i show everyone.
      The hardest thing is getting rid of the people who refuse to see that growth.
      Gotta get back to people who really care.
      They are there, but we as people ignore them.
      I do wish you the best bro and my hopes is maybe i could give you a piece of what i thought that can give you some little motivation, or something 😂
      Cuz man do we humans need that, i know i do 💯
      Btw excuse the writing I haven't been to the best schools or the best neighborhoods.
      I can however correctly type, but i do know a lot of people have different ways of communicating, so i try to do it in a way no matter who sees this, they can kind of get an idea of what I'm trying to say.
      HES OVERSHARING 😂
      Don't listen to none of the bs
      You live to serve instead of being a thorn, life gets easier.
      I can't get behind what that lady said about the language of souls.
      Thats for people who believe in scary stuff 😂
      Nothing scary exists imo!

    Uncertainty, lack of control and conflict, the exact reason I’ve been a chronic marijuana addict since age 12, now at 37 I’m suffering physically and mentally. 5 days sober and I did a 6 month stint and relapsed. I can’t do this to myself anymore, gotta get to the root problem like getting out of my hellish relationship and gaining self control. As for uncertainty that’s a part of natural life so we can’t really do anything about that

    It was the mental part, filling the spaces ..I went to meetings to stay occupied and get support, which seems to be the key to release trauma.

      I don't think that X is set as a good example for the topic. I am talking about life experience. Smoking pot I don't see as an addition. Laziness may be one. I found out about my traumas and ended up keeping several addictions. I had taken Ayahuasca before sort of no purpose. I recently took it again in order to quit addiction. Didn't help. It can help if taken on a regular basis. Frankly my addictions are now seen as part of my over blessed life. I am an avid windsurfer. The way I practice is addictive. Plan B and C...

    The way we feel is all that matters. Every decision is made because that's the option that will feel best . I think more research needs to be done into being able to keep the person in recovery 's spirits high enough to actually feel better without the drugs. How do we turn on the mechanisms that didn't work even before the addiction, the natural reward system, dopamine receptors, neurons firing again.... the drugs were making me feel better, cause I couldn't function I was so depressed. So take that away, I drop even lower than before....and I'm just supposed to get used to it ? The drugs sound like a better option, honestly. Why would anybody quit if it's not going to make you feel better ? The original problem has to be fixed, so the drugs aren't needed anymore. So, let's get some of that going. You gotta give us something that makes us feel better than the drugs. I've been meditating, excercing, Im in good shape , I get sunshine daily , I work, create art, talk to people, have had therapy and I'm still so depressed I can't function some days.

    Inspire...
    Man, talk to me for 20 minutes
    Let me inspire you...
    Shit im a man, want to stop?
    It takes a whole balanced approach.
    not "i just gotta stop"
    Or "i just need to.."
    You just gotta do it all
    All of it!
    What you can't do is just pray it away, or wish it away.
    Trust me, there will be places inside you that you have to visit that hurt, i know trust me!
    But we must also venture to those parts that hurt us, all of us.
    Especially men!
    You need to work on each problem in your own life
    One by one by one until
    You are free!
    Free everything, mind, body, and spirit, if thats what you believe.
    If you value yourself, nothing else matters.
    Lets get back to what really matters.
    us, and people.
    The meaning to life is people, and always has been people.
    Get back to people.
    i know its hard...
    But the right people.
    Peace and love yall
    Anyone needs to talk im here for yall💚💙❤️ love!
    Oh, derp!
    Before i forget, thanks for the podcast!
    definitely got me doing alot of internal thinking...

      Im grateful to the amazingly kind souls ive met along the way, ill never forget those people.
      Ill always remember those people!
      It's hard trying to find these people in a world where they stay lowkey, people don't like when you live well!
      I figured even if you are doing good, you have to keep it modest, because people will want what you have gained.
      Hope everything is well with you!
