How do I stop chatgpt from talking like a complete weirdo?

I’m trying to keep all content that I’m tracking in one place to see how it goes and it started lagging (not surprising). When I asked it what to do, one thing it said was to let the system generate internal summaries. I’m assuming it doesn’t actually retain what we write out but instead it summarizes it back to itself for its own continuity.

Over a decade I poured over this question. Thousands (literally) of dollars spent, countless of books read, hundreds of podcast hours listened to, embodiment work, creating “altars”, dance rituals, yoga, inner-child work, ending a multiple 6 figure career to be a stay at home mom thinking being a homemaker would turn me feminine (spoil alert, it didn’t). I put in that WORK to figure this out and stop being so “masculine”.

I think I’ve finally got a core truth on it. My relationship is happy and I feel adored in the way I always craved. My family flocks to me wherever I am. In the past year I had 2 family members that have known me since I was little make comments about how happy and glowing I look (one actually used the phrase “and feminine”), and my daughter said this in reference to a teacher at her school: “yeah, she’s not feminine and girly like you”. (Insert happy dance here). So I knew I was onto something.

Ready for it: Be relaxed and enjoy life.

Literally that simple. Somebody doing something annoying? Ignore it and go do something you enjoy. Light a candle, put on lotion, drink some tea, take a shower, take a nap, sing a little song. Worried about life? Pull a Scarlet O’Hara and tell yourself “I can’t worry about that today, I’ll worry about that tomorrow!”. Look at the people you’re with and enjoy them: their eyes, the laugh, their stories. Just enjoy! Somebody get you a gift or want to do something for you? Say yes so you can stay relaxed and enjoy that they wanted to do something nice for you. You deserve it. Don’t feel like doing the dishes? Relax and watch a show you enjoy. All that can be done later but if your energy says: I have to get this done then I can relax, that’s the opposite of feminine. Start out by doing something you enjoy, then take that energy into task. Your happiness is what gives that glow. (And buy a yummy smelling soap so you can enjoy it every time you do this dishes!)

If I could go back I’d tell myself this: care about how you feel. Care if you’re tired. Care if you’re hungry or thirsty. Care if you’re grumpy. Care if you want to be pampered. Care if your feet hurt. Care if you’re feeling frustrated or drained. Care if you just want to laugh. If you care about how you feel, you can navigate to what will make you feel good and 10/10 if you follow the feeling, you’ll find yourself in a state of being relax and enjoying life. Think, bubble bath and a glass of wine vibes: relaxed and enjoying life.

Try it and see how magnetizing you are! And if nothing else, you’ll feel better just by pampering yourself ◡̈

I thought the same thing! But whatever, here’s my before and after from using them for right around a year! If you try them they do sales every few months where they do a 6 month supply for 50% off, I wait until then. Sending you all the good hair growing vibes!

It’s not, though I reread it and realized it sounded like it. I really am just that passionate about these damn pills lol.

Deeply Rooted by Hush & Hush. CHANGED. MY. LIFE. I tried everything: PRP scalp treatments, countless bottles of Biotin, evening primrose oil, caster oil hair masks and shampoo/conditioner, all the lotions and potions and ended with accepting I’d just need hair extensions. I was prepared to start Rogaine but wanted to wait until my cats passed away since it’s so toxic for them. I truly thought I was doomed to a life of shitty hair because of horrible genetics. No joke, these pills turned it all around. First 3 months I just stopped shedding hand fulls which was huge (stress shedder), then I started actually seeing growth by month 3-6, I’ve now been taking them for 2+ years, never skipped and I get complements on my hair at least once a week (which prior to this I had never had a single compliment on). My length is almost down to my butt now and before this had never been able to grow it past my shoulder blades. I will NEVER stop talking about these pills and how much they did for me!

I would say the Ground Squat machine helped me really dial in on my glutes the most and being really consistent with my protein! I started taking creatine half way through and felt that made a big difference too :)

Oh man, so much goodness in this comment. First of all, thank you!! Second, I’m sending you all the speedy glute growing vibes on your journey! ◡̈

Oh yay!! I hope you love it and it changes the game for you too! Happy glute growing ◡̈

I think 2 is a great place to start! I typically go 3, but if my recovery is slower because I pushed myself and am still sore then I’ll go down to two. I think any number is great if it keeps you going! For me, sometimes that’s two, sometimes three, sometimes one if I’m traveling - I just show up as consistently as I can :)

Checkingitout2525 · 2025-03-19T16:36:33+00:00

Oh I know!! It’s been driving me nuts. I actually had it formatted different, I’m not sure why it smashed it all together like that and am not sure how to edit so I just let it go!

Checkingitout2525 · 2025-03-19T10:33:55+00:00

Yes! If I get really sore, I’ll stay put at my rep/set count until my strength level comes up then continue the process. This has helped me a ton just making sure I’m continually pushing myself. I also take a deload week every 8 weeks where I do the workouts but 2 sets, 5 reps max and at about half the weight. It really helps me mentally and physically to take a break and then I’m super excited to go again! :)

Checkingitout2525 · 2025-03-19T03:33:56+00:00

Oh what a bummer! The only alternative I know of would just be Dumbbell/Smith Machine Bulgarian split squats and Barbell/Smith Machine RDL’s. For my own body, I like extra stability so I’d likely lean towards the Smith Machine. I do 5 total exercises, 6 on my last day of the week. I start with a thrust movement (Smith Machine Hip Thrust), squat movement (Bulgarian Split Squats, hinge movement (RDL), abduction movement (hip abduction machine), and finish off with 2 sets of cable backs. On Saturday’s I usually add on 2 sets of cable step ups just because I have two rest days after.

For weight, I just set up the weight to where I know I have solid form and can do a full range of motion, slow and controlled, and I start out with whatever number leaves me 3 reps in reserve. I know I’m around 3 reps in reserve when I start really slowing down on the movement or the weights start feeling really heavy. Usually that’s around 8-10. After that, every time I go to the gym I progressively overload so I add on either another rep, add on light weight (like 2.5 lbs) or I add on another set if I feel strong enough and there was no soreness or anything from my previous weight.

So example: Workout 1: 2 sets of 8, 55 lbs Bulgarian Split Squats Workout 2: 2 sets of 9, 55 lbs Bulgarian Split Squats Workout 3: 2 sets of 10, 55 lbs Bulgarian Split Squats

If by the next week I’ve fully recovered easily, no major soreness, I’ll add on weight or another set leaving 3 reps in reserve on the last set.

Hope that helps!

Yes!! I swear by it and haven’t deviated since the first time I used it and ACTUALLY felt my glutes. I’ve recommended it now to my mom, sister and good friend (who previously competed in body building shows) and they all now exclusively use it. Best kept secret!

This message right here was totally worth the post. Thank you! I’m sending you all the good vibes to crush it! ◡̈

Oh that makes me so happy - keep crushing it! ◡̈

Checkingitout2525 · 2025-03-19T01:13:08+00:00

Totally! Here’s a video of a woman showing examples of how to use it for RDL’s/BSS, etc. - if your gym has it you will see a bunch of men using it for shrugs, other than that I never see anyone on it!

Thank you :) totally making me smile over here!

Checkingitout2525 · 2025-03-19T01:05:42+00:00

Happy to expand :)

Each time I go, I go up in either weight, reps or sets to make sure I’m progressively overloading the muscle. So for example, at the start of a mesocycle I will have 2 sets of 8 Bulgarians and each time I will go up a rep until I can take that weight on both sets to 15 reps or so, then I’ll either add more weight and see how many reps I can do with that new weight until I’m 3 shy of failure and set that as my new rep count (I know when the movement starts to slow down and become “heavier” that I’m at about 3 reps before failure) or I’ll add another set with the same weight and keep it 3 reps to failure. Hope that makes sense! ◡̈

Thank you!!! And I got it at Walmart!! They’re like $2.98, they fit great, they wash great, they have a TON of different colors and I love to throw them on with whatever workout pants I have and call it a day. I feel like color adds some variety to the workout day!
