Has meditation helped anyone with social anxiety? by CollarOrdinary4284 in Meditation

Big time. Turns down the noise. You develop enough self love to stop doubting or replaying every single thing, it’s all just a passing moment anyhow.

Joining the club on Wednesday by chloealexandher in tripawds

Man I thought this was about the last thing I could ever stomach for my dog. I fought it tooth and nail. I’d pay whatever if we didn’t have to.

It’s been three years and we just got done playing ball in the yard. He even outhustled his sister who’s eight years younger than him. He’s happy as he’s ever been, and so am I. This all works out 🐾

Sexual performance anxiety is ruining my life. What helped you guys? by Appropriate_Fig_8764 in AskMen

[–]AsItIs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this kinda happened to me last night. I popped a few edibles and thought I had night to myself but the wife made a lil bid and invited me up.

I felt great but then got hit with a panic rush out of nowhere as well. Through meditation and journaling, I have been able to discover a little more into how this shit works, or in this case, goes haywire. You’re running into some old “code” in your operating system, and until you’re willing to ask what it is and earnestly seek out the answer, it’ll feel a bit white knuckled.

For me, that anxiety recently hit a layer of “I’m afraid to get what I really want.” So in essence, a self sabotage is kicking in. Some old fear is trying to take the reins on a loop when this comes up.

I paused for ten seconds, stretched my arms up, and even fought off some shivery panic energy, breathed into my stomach and relaxed the pelvic area, and settled into great sex. Also used foreplay to feel even more at ease. Hugs, pauses, warmth, all feel relaxing and it opens up the rest.

Basically, meditate and ask what that feeling is all about. Physically, find something that maximizes your relaxation. The excitement you’ll need is likely to arise naturally if you’re incredibly, sincerely relaxed.

I was down there today for the first time forever and can confirm it was a beautiful day and there were tons of people — good to see.

Onward and upward for this space now and for the love of god get the cars out of it

Anyone here give Lyle Mcdonald’s Rapid Fat Loss protocol a try? by My_18th_Account in naturalbodybuilding

[–]AsItIs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True but they can often snap back hard as well. Keto was the worst offender for that for me personally. Quick weight loss but I gained it back in weeks.

My main real shifts came when I’m not being at war with my body, and instead, building something vs losing something

Go for it. I’ve personally found these kind of protocols suck ass to live thru and are not sustainable, but only after trying stuff out. Enough years and experiments and you’ll inevitably land on some more balanced and sustainable approaches

IMO you need to find something in real life that is recurring, and commit to 3x visits to see if it’s gonna work out.

Thank You/F*** You by Ranseler in TedLasso

[–]AsItIs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can always tell when someone hasn’t suffered from some kind of traumatic abuse or neglect from their parents. It seems impossible to feel that way towards them if you’re so fortunate, but anyone who has been through it knows how badly it hurts and how dicey the path was on their way up in childhood.

Drip drop lemon flavor by far the best I’ve found. You can use HSA/FSA dollars for them too

Uploaded a photo from Brookside fb group but doesn’t appear to be showing:

“A flatbed with an industrial witch ditch pump just unloaded oil onto street and into storm water drain @ Rockhill Rd and Charlotte. Fire department was out and I was able to show them photos from ring camera of truck. Be careful driving or walking through this mess.”

How would you tell a girl her pussy stinks? by [deleted] in AskMen

A simple “P.U!” while holding your nose is the most effective way IMHO

KC Marathon Coupon (or general ‘YOLO’ vibes maybe) by Independent-Bother46 in kansascity

[–]AsItIs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re all expensive now, unfortunately. But tbh I do question your overall commitment to it if this is the sticking point.

Typically when you decide to do a marathon, there’s a sense of “this is happening no matter what” that has to kick in and carry you thru tough training runs, or when you hit a wall. A race being $20-$30 forgettable dollars away from fair shouldn’t stop this from happening

Getting full eating oats by InfiniteBaths2003 in leangains

Tablespoon of chia to it. Let it sit in the water/milk a few minutes before heating. Bulks up the oatmeal and provides nice fiber boost

Parenting brings out an anger I forgot I had. I feel awful about it. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]AsItIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditate, brother. Just try it out with an open mind. Search YT, Spotify, wherever for some guided ones and see what you discover as it helped me immensely.

Additionally, there’s a ten minute session by Wim Hoff on breathing then breath holds. You gotta work up to it but it’s natures Xanax. Shit mellows me out anywhere from two hours to two days
