What if the worst thing that has ever happened to you is actually the best?
What if your pain/suffering created roots so deep that no amount of wind can uplift the essence your spirit lives in?What if you let go of trying to think your way out of your trauma and trust in your body’s ability to heal itself? Turning the thing that turned you into the thing that transformed and informed you — that is the embodiment of Post-Traumatic Self Compassion.
The best way I can describe the BOOM experience is, for a brief moment in time, being slung out of the orbit of normal everyday waking consciousness, and being thrust into the outer layer of existence, floating, contemplating and feeling the actuality of the NOW, in all Her beauty, fragility and complexity. This act of leaving the rat race to pursue absurdity for a brief period of time is so rare.
“We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.” — Dr Gabor Mate. In August 2021 I visited the Earth Awareness Nature Temple in the heart of the Netherlands to attend a Magic Mushroom retreat.
Personal development programs are popular in today's 'fix me because I'm broken' culture. The promise for 10x growth sells. However, all self-improvement programs, mindfulness strategies and retreats forget one key element to healing: the animal.
"Moderation" is the great lie of the century. It was invented by senile men who are living in despair and have zero skin in the game of sustainable fat loss. When you eat the right foods –meat! – your body has a natural moderation-sparing valve that sends feedback to your energy-dense brain, letting it know you're good for the next 16-18 hours.
Each year I strive to spend time away from social media. My social drug is Instagram. This year was interesting to say the least: but it proved to be just what I needed to give my mind some slack.
I’m a fan of keto. It has helped thousands of people regain health when all seems lost in a world of over-the-counter medicine as the only cure for dis-ease. But, let us not become engulfed in our efforts to show the world who we are on social media that we forget the reason we’re improving: to heal.
I’ve been in Amsterdam for a few days now and have an understanding of how much I spend each day while maintaining my carnivorous diet.
I recently revisited a YouTube video by one of my mentors and heroes in the world of spirituality and trauma: Dr. Gabor Mate.
I spent the majority of 2020 in my creative work and books. These four books radically changed my mind about many things — but mostly: they gave me the courage to Listen To My Gut and find the courage within me.
“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher. This quote beautifully illustrates the life of any creative.
I had the privilege of interviewing Camilla Wolfson on my YouTube channel (which you should most definitely subscribe to if you haven’t). It exceeded my expectations.
I’ve been keto-carnivore / meat-based / animal-based dieting for the past 11 months. This post is long overdue and like anything, it is purely N=1, subjective recordings — but it covers a lot if you are feeling alone in your meat-based meanderings.
Do you like coffee? Or do you like the ultra-processed micro-textured milk and honey and vanilla swirl syrup? Do you like oats? Or do you like bananas, berries, papaya and honey on top?
The 80/20 rule (or Pareto Principle) is a simple mathematical concept that was observed by Pareto:
The 80-20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, is an aphorism which asserts that 80% of outcomes (or outputs) result from 20% of all causes (or inputs) for any given event
There are many examples where you can apply this principle for a better quality life. Or should I say: a more flow-state driven life. A life where the right strategies align with the right intentions.
