  • lol i know

    thank you for the kind reply

    aaannnd art is in the eye of the beholder so idk not necessarily for the OP needing to read it

    moreso for those who (as w many of us) hv poor/low sense of self-value/self-resilience

    i just hear that a lot from tech nerds “my body is stupid/irrational” etc

    and it’s like “or maybe we need better models to listen to & make sense of it”


  • How Not To Die by Michael Greger

    see also: anti-flammatory diet

    (drink 0.75 gal to 1 gallon of h2o daily)

    (eliminate flour) ((pizza, bread, bagels, pasta, crackers, etc))

    Start there

    And walk vs driving

    And do yoga

    and eat a head of spinach, daily. …

    You’ll be amazed. (at how your body TRANSFORMz0rz :-o GO POWER RANGERZZZZZZS )

    (leave your phone at a friend’s house build a better env )

    72 hours give it 3 days of that

    You will be amazed

    at how your OWN body

    can trans form its nervous sensory stimuli & feelings

    (start drinking water the moment u wake up keep it in the bathroom next to toilet or en route

    (where it wont spill if you’re half-asleep and bump it )


  • What a terribly reductionist POV.

    A few antidotes:

    study and learn Somatic Experiencing. (Where in your body do you feel a given emotion ? Where is tension felt? where is relaxation felt? where is sadness felt? )

    study some real yoga (not stretching

    but actual yoga ie meditation breath-work soma practices )
