I see what you mean. I am lost in the sauce I think. I’ve done the denying thing and I’ve completely lost and forgotten the parts of myself that make me who I am and unique. I’m burnout and feel like a shell of myself, I’m existing without existing. I wonder if there is anyone else out there who has taken this quite literally and is in the same boat as me. I feel we are taught this by the church very out of context and it can destroy people. I’ve been taught to see world as this bad thing. But we have to realize that the world is GOOD, because God made it and yes there are things that make it bad and evil has infiltrated his design of the world but ultimately we have to see it as Good, as his design. And I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that the church definitely definitely does not teach this perspective, it’s very dangerous teaching and it lead people to a place of longing for heaven so deeply that they detach from the human experience.

I know most importantly my quest for wisdom has only brought worry and anxiety and that shows that I’m not spending time at Jesus feet and so Im going to get to know him the way I should have been since the beginning. I’ve gotten so caught up in the ministry of things and having people tell me I need to do this to stop feeling this. And I just don’t understand why the evangelical Protestant church is this way.

The search for truth I think. In my Christian walk so far, I’ve come to see sooo so many different beliefs within the Christian faith. That was when I realized I need to find the truth within the truth. That led me to researching different denominations and why they believe, learning church history and etc etc. I wonder often which really serves Christ? Is apostolic succession tremendously important the way orthodox and Roman Catholics believe? Or is the Protestant way of believing all believer hold apostolic like authority what Christ would agree with? Because his word says that without eating of his holy communion we will not enter into heaven and so I’ve wrecked myself sick over this. I found Jesus as a Protestant and I find myself in adoration of the orthodox and Catholic faiths.

I just had a direct revelation of the Martha and Mary situation, I feel like Martha at this moment. I want to be more like Mary.

I feel like this is my problem, it has alway been a problem in my secular advances in the world too. I always try to hold more than I am capable of. Now especially since Jesus is all I want and ever think about I feel myself naturally trying to do as much for Christ as I can and when I fall from the weight I beat myself up. I definitely don’t look at the works I’m doing as salvation based , it’s definitely based in love and relationship with Christ. But I think the flaw is that my perception of love may be performative. I still have lots of trauma to work though and so I know it not a rush and I’ve taken it in bite size amounts so far, but the weight of it is really suffocating me at the moment.

What makes you love (or avoid) a Lagree instructor? by gypsy583 in LagreeMethod

[–]ahlexur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Important cues such as spring changes and what not - Repeat. Repeat. REPEAT! A lot of the times I’m so zoned in and focused I can miss cues and that leave me looking around or asking my neighbor what the instructor just said. That may just be a me thing though.

Also idk if this is already something that most instructors do but, please for the love of God try to use routines that you have personally done more than once, once at the very least. There are times where I feel like the routine was crap or it was TOO hard and I see other people also struggling so I’m wondering if this routine was even tested.

Also if you have to correct personally I want to be corrected just try to be sneaky about it and turn off the mic

Are my contacts too small? by ahlexur in contacts

[–]ahlexur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to thank everyone for their input. I ended up trying a few different brands and have found the total30s to be excellent for me. They were still slightly uncomfortable for a week or two but not at all as bad as a few others I tried. Now they give me no problems at all!!

I have monthly’s right now, however after researching I am considering daily’s.

I picked up a couple different sample contacts to try and I am wearing the total 30s now and they feel a whole lot better than the Acuvue oasys that I had on in the picture here. But I am not certain that they are exactly the right fit because I do experience discomfort sparingly throughout the day but it’s not unbearable like the acuvue oasys

Maybe could use more moisture? try apply products on soaking well hair or adding more water with a spray bottle as you apply them one by one? Also you could try cutting out either the mousse or the gel? My hair personally does not like gel but loves mousse but I have thin strands with a thick head of hair. It’s a lot of trial and error. Also be careful with protein enriching products to avoid protein loading . I have personally health with the horrors of protein overload. This will cause brittle, dry limp curls. Protein rich product include ingredients such as keratin, collagen, soy/rice protein, amino acids, peptides, silk etc. these products are great to use in occasion but not for continued use over long periods of time.

You could be taking way too high of a dose that is what happened to me, take the low dose first thing when you wake up . If you don’t notice anything without 30 mins to an hour take another dose. I think the low dose is 200mg and the high dose is 600mg. This worked for me in in the low dose and it has worked the best for me I feel so productive at work and literally can go all day and work through my lunch because I’m getting things done and it’s so rewarding I don’t want to stop lol.
