This could actually be constructive for people who are paralyzed, bedridden, or imprisoned as a means of preventing depression or insanity.

Does anybody have another life where they are rich and famous. My dad never cared about me, I sometimes see myself having a dad that loves me and does everything for me. I don’t know how to make it stop I know it is not real but I cannot stop myself from doing it. Everything that I wished for , I daydream about them

[@bereketbiz]

try learning breakthrough program. do it for 2 years everyday(2 times each day). you will do fine. it helped me so much.

[@shreyaskrishna6038]

Can you tell me more on this breakthrough program. May be it could help me

[@bereketbiz]

it's a brain fitness exercise that harnesses 'Neuroplacticity'. it's a balance/vestibular stimulation exercise. it turns out our brain uses extensive neural networks to maintain our balance. the founders of the program uses this insight and invented a unique balance board for it. the exercises are carefully prepared after years of trial and error. if you want to understand more just search more about what happens during vestibular dysfunction and during caloric vestibular stimulation. these two can give you some insight on how our vestibular system highly influences proper functioning of our brain. Learning Breakthrough Program changed my life, I believe it can change many lives also. good luck
