I try to sleep a lot, whenever possible since I had good rest keeps the doctor away and those who know me, I don’t like hospitals and doctors.
Nothing beats the awareness that you don’t have to finish a book. Life is short to finish a book you don’t like unless it is tied to your job application or PhD defense. Or your life depends on it.
The biggest change is to live and let live. I don’t get into debates on which is the best god or how many days we should fast unless someone brings the debate to me. This also includes not bothering with the news or even sosho media which means a more quiet life.
There are other changes but I am too lazy to list them. Which reminds me there should be a laziness day somewhere in the calendar where we do whatever it is like with no goal other than that we like it.
If I was a motivational speaker I would have started this post by how I have become a better me but then I don’t find self help helpful.
Live and let live. Words of wisdom. Would certainly make the world a better place if this were more widely practiced.

No, cancer treatment for 5 years, interfered with my sleep, so am sleep deprived. I am trying a new sleep aid that is not the traditional sleeping pill, & is non addictive, so it can be taken for life if necessary. Just released in 2021, so is a totally different type of med.

So, umm, Im pretty sure what everyone wants to know, which god is the best, and how long do we fast? (I’m on a evil streak today Mak!)

Have you been fasting lately? I hear it is good for weight loss and seeing visions

Fasting in not in my list of things to do. If I go past 30 minutes past my stomach clock informing me that I’m hungry, it thinks I’m fasting. ๐
If I’m ever in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, I would not mind inducing a vision. But not from fasting.

True, social media is poison; I left X a few months after you did and it’s been so much peace and silence. People just don’t relate in real life the way they do there. Oh, and sleep. Sleep is, for me as well, the final hurdle standing between me and self-actualization. It’s not even so much sleep as my crippling, neurotic aversion to boredom, to just staying still in patient wait. I don’t know how to stop looking up inane things at 11pm. Exercise does help me go down faster, though.
