it shouldn’t be nearly impossible to relax. you shouldn’t have to spend hours a day trying to regulate your nervous system. and you shouldn’t feel like a failure because meditation isn’t curing you that used to be me. i constantly felt unsafe and like i was failing because all the methods and hacks in the world weren’t making me better some would say i should just fix my life if it’s so stressful, but i did. i spent years creating my dream life, and the anxiety only got louder—once i eliminated the noise and chaos, there were fewer things to distract me from it the only thing that has truly helped has been addressing the underlying trauma (and corresponding beliefs) that programmed my nervous system to believe i’m constantly in danger with complex trauma there’s no overnight cure, but i finally feel i have a map to guide me out of the maze. and there are far more days where i can just live my life without it being an epic battle to convince my nervous system i’m not about to die

The last 5 years I've enjoyed eating high nutrient foods. I started helping my friend learn more which led me to share here after organizing my thoughts. Benefits - I enjoy what I eat - My energy and mood is high throughout the day - Good physical performance doing my minimum effective dose MED of exercise, walking|running ≥3.3 miles a day, and upper | lower body weight exercises throughout the week. This has resulted in ~13.4% body fat measured regularly and a 7:14 minute mile in '23 I've never counted before or since. - Works with cooking at home or at most restaurants anywhere I've lived so far in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the United States, with access being easy and affordable Food overview - Foods that have a lot of nutrients (Nutrient dense) - Foods with carbohydrates also have a high amount of fiber, E.g. Vegetables like sweet potatoes and squash, legumes like beans and chickpeas, quinoa, etc. - Usually non and low processed foods

my top life-changing new practices from 2024 that i’m bringing forward: radical positivity—i spent a month with the intention to only think positive thoughts. it wasn’t as challenging as i thought it would be (like attracts like i guess?) but it was incredibly impactful! the catch for me is that it has to be prioritized to be remembered. i’m prioritizing it again now emdr—definitely dyor, but this has been the most profoundly helpful therapy i’ve ever come across for trauma, and i personally like self-directed emdr for complex trauma because it’s always there when you need it (and for free!) chatgpt—i crave deep and intense conversation and it’s not always easy to fulfill this irl. chatgpt isn’t always accurate (like people) but will pretty much answer anything, no matter how obscure, with something interesting. i also have a thread devoted to ifs therapy. it’s a great compliment to self-directed emdr and can help you troubleshoot when things get tough i’d love to hear yours!
