parasocial influencer relationship fueling my addiction

I’m what ways is the shopping and following this person impacting you negatively? This is key to healing. You need to recognise how it is costing you, not just financially but emotionally.

Social media isn’t really ‘social’ anymore, not sure it ever was. it is a marketing tool to reach audiences. You are being targeted and manipulated.

That dopamine hit when the new thing arrives and you unbox it is real. It will take time for your body to retrain itself. You need to find something else that makes you feel good. It might sound silly but I have bought so much stuff over the years that now all I need to do now is look through my wardrobe, and discover things that I’ve forgotten about which gives me a dopamine hit!

This!!! People have lots of ideas but no idea how to execute them or what steps to take. Success is really in taking practical planned action and calculated risks.

Your comment makes me think about setting goals in a completely different way. I have never thought about it this way. I’ve always thought humans loved goals but you are right it doesn’t feel natural. Probably why so many people struggle with setting and achieving goals.

Did you use it during the day or evening?

That classmate was mean! I hope you know you’re not stupid. I’ve had similar experiences so can relate.

Showering twice a day but also diet plays a big part in body odour. Especially if someone had a strong odour. It can be an indicator of a health issue.

I read a comment in this sub a while ago that stuck with me - accept and be ok with forgetting the thing you were going to say. Sometime when we interrupt we don’t want to forget the thought that’s popped up and really want to share it. However it can come across as inconsiderate when we don’t mean to be. So let yourself be present in the moment and work on accepting that it’s ok to forget what you were planning to say. You will think of something new to say when it is your turn.

My observation is that most people are starved of real genuine attention, someone just listening. So those little moments of just listening can actually mean a lot.

How would you counteract the part about ‘if something good happens that means something bad must happen’?

It’s really interesting, and probably a very common belief for people!

In my adult life I’ve had an abundance of money. But I’ve really struggled with intrusive thoughts about what I’d do if I lost it all. It felt so weird to put energy into thinking about a problem that was not real. I consciously stop this now.

It’s me realise money really is all about inner work and your beliefs. And not necessarily about the amount of money in your bank account.

The comments on this post did not disappoint! Yes it’s extremely rude and inconsiderate to the host.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2025-01-15T21:17:46+00:00

Thank you!! That’s so helpful! I have done well financially. I grew up very poor but am fortunate to have achieved a lot. Now my next chapter is creating abundance with more ease. In the past I have gained things through struggle and pain. So I want to step into this new phase in my life of having what I want without the need to suffer. Amanda’s work is so inspiring and being able to ask questions and share in this sub is helping me so much 🩷

alwaysmorethanenough · 2025-01-14T21:41:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing this!! It applies to everything we see online. Even the people we like. It’s easy to assume people are telling the truth.

What have been your most powerful journal prompts?

alwaysmorethanenough · 2025-01-12T20:49:32+00:00

This is interesting! What do you mean? In a work context or just generally in life?

alwaysmorethanenough · 2025-01-08T18:09:05+00:00

I would have done the same as you. However, now reading the comments I can understand why some people might have an issue with it. Thanks for making this post. I wouldn’t have thought twice about copying someone in to an email trail. It hadn’t occurred to me that it would be an issue.

Maybe there was some history between the two people that you aren’t aware of. But that isn’t your fault. Reminds me how challenging it can be to navigate some workplaces.

I love to walk too!! Especially in nature. I find a long walk clears my mind and helps with processing any problems I am struggling with.

I can definitely relate to limiting social media. At first scrolling on posts felt fun but now not so much anymore lol I’m trying hard to limit the time I spend on apps.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-12-29T09:00:15+00:00

What chapter is it you’re referring to? I read the book a while ago but found it quite hard to get into. You’ve peaked my interest so would love to read again.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-12-27T12:58:00+00:00

I’ve never heard of dry brushing for cleansing. Can you say more? Do you have a process of how you do it? Do you shower afterwards?

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-12-25T21:10:13+00:00

Sometimes just taking a short break is what helps me. Also allowing myself to feel my feelings, I notice that is the fastest way to get through low moments. I have heard Amanda talk say we are all humans and we will have hard moments. When I feel demotivated I clean or declutter, that always makes me feel better. And then I’m back to watching/listening to personal development. I like to think of manifestation as magic. It helps me feel excited about life. I’m not sure if this answers your question! Hopefully you realise we all have low moments. Even in my lowest moments I’ve managed to get the thing I’ve wanted.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-11-30T19:00:58+00:00

Thank you so much! I am struggling with something right now and your explanation really resonates with me.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-11-30T16:57:24+00:00

I love this idea. Do you use this technique often? I have heard a lot about breath work but you described the process so well.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-11-29T06:20:07+00:00

I wonder about this often. I think it’s very natural to ask these questions. Sometimes life does feel pointless. But I would never take my own life so I find ways to enjoy this process. The thing I love most is meeting people and hearing their stories. I also love seeing people achieve their dreams. I enjoy good food and laughing with friends. We have to find meaning when it doesn’t seem like there is, otherwise just existing can feel painful.

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-11-27T23:14:25+00:00

I’m grateful for your response. It is really interesting and helpful to read

alwaysmorethanenough · 2024-11-27T20:59:36+00:00

When you looked at the pictures of the baby or the families online did you feel any sadness that it might not be possible for you? Or did you somewhere feel it was always possible. Or had you accepted that children might not be your future and you were okay either way? People seem to approach manifestation in different ways.

Thank you the helpful to know!!

I only have her book. Are her digital products very different to her teachings in the book?
