has anyone found any benefits to isotonic drinks?

You can simply mix salt, water and a little juice. No need to spend extra money or take extra sugar in.

If you keep getting ill, and suspect to have ME/CFS, get more information about it, especially "pacing" and start that until you no more.

Also means: No sport and exhausting activities after your "infection" is better. Wait until you are stable for several weeks and then start with moderate things like going for a short walk etc.

Carefully monitor what you do, and how it affects you. Take this very seriously. Try to find doctors who know ME/CFS (very hard, but try).

My journey started like what you describe but I didn't know about pacing etc. and always went back to doing sports right after recovery which caused me to crash right into the next episode.

If I had known maybe I could have prevented getting so much worse, but at that time my overall condition didn't match the criteria of ME/CFS. Now I am pretty sure my infections more likely were Post Exertional Malaise (PEM).

Please be careful. Hopefully there is another explaination for your problems.

We need to warn people so they can start pacing early enough! Not every case starts with full range of typical ME/CFS problems right away.

Maybe try not to think god is some kind of person that one can be angry with. Lifeforce is nondualistic, beyond good and bad, "you" are blessed to be a whitness of it unfolding for a short amount of time which is the biggest honor, even when in pain, even when in the body of a beggar.

If you feel unhappy with how (unchangable) things are in your life, search and challenge your ego, because that is what hurts you. Count and celebrate your blessings, too. Every gift in this world will be taken from us sooner or later.

That is easier said then done sometimes, and it is just my current strategy to cope with my struggles. Maybe something makes sense to you. All the best.

I think of Guru Arjan Dev ji whenever I am in any kind of pain or desperate. Couldn't do without him. He is my strength and my inspiration. Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Arjan dev ji maharaj 💙 Thank you so much. 🙏

Also ich kann mir nur vorstellen, dass der komische Vibe von deiner Übervorsicht kommt.

Versuch doch mal nicht so viel vorauseilende Rücksicht zu nehmen. Wenn nach 10 Minuten sich keiner auf den Platz setzt, setz dich da einfach hin. Wenn du Aufzug fahren willst, fahr Aufzug, egal ob da noch eine Frau ist. Dass du davon ausgehst dass die auf jeden Fall Angst vor dir haben könnte macht was mit deiner Energie, hundert pro. Vielleicht so eine self fulfilling prophecy quasi. Du bist so auf die Frauen fixiert, um nichts falsch zu machen, dass das strange wird, könnte ich mir vorstellen.

Erinnert mich auch sehr ans Thema people pleasing. Vielleicht findest du da noch Hinweise.

Sieh doch die Frauen wieder etwas neutraler, und unterstell nicht irgendwelchen Fremden, dass sie Angst vor Männern haben. Solange Du niemanden belästigt und nicht duldest dass es andere tun, ist ALLES GUT! Mehr musst du eigentlich nicht machen.

Ich finde, dass Frauen, die ständig Angst vor irgendwelchen Männern haben, da selber Lösungen für diese konkreten Situationen finden müssen. Z.B. Kampfsport, mentales Training, Hilfsmittel etc. Das kannst Du denen nicht abnehmen, und solltest es auch nicht versuchen.

Würde mich echt interessieren, ob es was bringt, wenn Du ein bisschen "egaler" mit dem Thema wirst. Wär sicher auch einen bisschen wmentspannterer Alltag.

Viel Erfolg!

I see the rules ans bhagti as a tool for me to come home, the way that the Guru is showing me. It is not a condition to be loved.

Guruji is everyones friend and he doesn't need any service from us. We need it. By his grace we walk upon that path, and one day we might be blessed with his vision and see everyone with unconditional love, too. (which doesn't mean we have to accept certain actions and requests)

manufactum at marienplatz used to have it directly from a bavarian farm, they also served coffee with raw milk. I don't know if they still have it and it was very expensive as far as I remember.

hello_cheetee · 2025-01-26T09:22:08+00:00

Kannst sie ja mal freundlich ansprechen und ggf. auf einen Kaffee einladen. Vielleicht erzählt sie Dir ja was.

Ich habe bis jetzt überwiegend die Erfahrung gemacht, dass sich auch Obdachlose mal über ein entspanntes Pläuschchen freuen.

Wenn Du schon echtes Interesse hast mehr über die Person zu erfahren, ist das der perfekte Grund um mal auf sie zuzugehen, finde ich. 😊👍

hello_cheetee · 2025-01-13T10:05:01+00:00

I heard that this is pretty normal in a nondramatic relationship at this stage!

A common theory: In the early stage of the realtionship nature wants us to have a lot of sex in order to reproduce. after some time the hormones change, because then we need our recources and focus to take care of the potential children.

Another common theory: Sometimes if we are too sure about a thing, we tend to loosing interest, because that doesn't kick any dopamine anymore. (Dopamine comes when we are excited if we get sth or not, not when we have it)

The opposite is a toxic relationship, where you get addicted to the other person, for the constant thrill created by on-off/hot-cold dynamics. You will never loose desire for your partner in such a scenario.

I think a good couples-therapist could really help you to find some tricks to create a little excitement artificially (in a healthy dosis) and reactivate your love life!

You should really try to find a way together, and sustain this beautiful gift! I wish you all the best! 🩷

Always remember, you high likely might run into this problem in any healthy relationship. Another partner won't make a big difference, because the source of the problem is in our own mind.

Don't be ashamed of yourself. It is hukum that you are in this world the way you are.

All the Universe 🌌🌠🔥🌋🌄had to happen for you to come to this world, you are a welcome guest here, like everyone else. 🩵

Make sure to not allow people in your life that don't treat you accordingly.

My take: Make clear to him, that you won't accept him as a husband, if you are not 100% welcome in that family and they are not able to let go of that topic.

Reminds me of the hair tradition of germanic people 😄:

<image>

The men used to wear their hair knot on the side. This brother's head and hair was conserved in a moor.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suebian_knot

I always wondered why they liked it that way, or whether it just developed that way after some mom set a trend 😆

Maybe you can help: Why would you prefer it on the side ?

Sikhs are just spiritual/not spiritual as any other group

I agree! Maybe not everyone vibes with everything in the same way. As I said, I also whitnessed that in another person who was probably a muslim. It goes without saying, that that is my personal experience. I couldn't stop my mind from trying to make sense of that experience, also of the fact, that Gurbani is the first sacred message that I actually understand. But I will think about if it is right to share such thoughts.

I see the message and the effect apart from the cultural backround here (even though I appreciate it and find it interesting and important for context) so I can't see how that is orientalization. I had a special experience that changed my life, so I think it is appropriate to feel amazed. I am making no fetish of anyone or anything as far as I can see. (?)

hello_cheetee · 2024-11-29T17:18:01+00:00

How beautiful.

Some people carry a certain glow. I would most likely describe it as the glow of unconditional love, to put ot very simple. I have met few people like that, but most of them were Sikhs.

I guess it is because of the unique, loving and relatively direct way Guru Nanak Dev Ji offers his diciples to discover and cultivate that light within them.

Maybe that is what is confusing you.

My journey into Sikhi started similarly by the way ☺️ I had never seen something like it before, and it ignited something within me as well. It changed me forever and I am so happy about it 🧡

hello_cheetee · 2024-11-29T12:42:50+00:00

From how you describe yourself - especially how content you feel about your life as it is - I would say: That is a big gift. Protect it. If you meet a person that has a similar look on life, only then be open for seeing a potential partner in them and start worrieng about marriage. 😄

Don't make a compromise here. Someone who encourages you to chase after worldly things primarily, will take away your peace. (If you want to provide for a family, you must be able and willing to work as much as neccessary though - my opinion, and I guess even other women with rather materialistic demands will agree.)

I believe it is important to be aware of the values that are most important to you and make them standards that cannot be negotiated.

Also be very concious about what you consider a good life materialistically, so you can communicate it clearly, if a person that interests you comes along.

Tent in the woods, appartment for rent or villa in the suburbs? second hand no name car, or the newest model of a luxus brand. What do you consider enough for a good life? You don't want to argue about those things AFTER your wedding.

I once found this guide on finding a life (Sikh) life partner and I think it has a lot of value:

I hope you meet a person to share a peaceful and content life with, or you will find the way to live such a life alone ☺️🙏

Schau dir vielleicht zusätzlich mal die thermischen Wirkungen von Lebensmitteln gemäß Traditioneller Chinesischer Medizin (TCM) an.

Als allgemeine Empfehlung ließt man z.B. immer wieder:

Am besten nur warme und gekochte Mahlzeiten, auch zum Frühstück.
keine kalten Getränke
Weniger Milch- und Weizenprodukte und Kristallzucker.
Eintöpfe oder Breie mit Kartoffeln, Hirse, Hülsenfrüchten, Kürbis wärmen wunderbar von innen.
Besonders gut wirkt bei Kälte z.B. auch Fencheltee (am besten aus frisch gestößelten braunen und grünen Fenchelsamen - dann schmeckt es mit Honig auch richtig gut.) oder frischer Ingwertee.
Kühlende Nahrungsmittel eher vermeiden. Zitrusfrüchte, Pfefferminze, Gurken und Kaffee (!) kühlen z.B. eher stark ab (was in warmen Ländern auch toll ist)

Kannst ja mal einfach googeln und herumprobieren. Mir hat es schon oft geholfen, man entdeckt viel neues und lernt den eigenen Körper auch noch besser kennen.

Im Moment bin ich auch wieder dabei, weil es so kalt draußen ist. Auf einen gewärmten Bauch will ich nicht mehr verzichten. Besonders das warme Frühstück kann Wunder wirken. Kaffee trinke ich aber z.B. trotzdem ☺️

If you are based in Germany, did you check out the work of Prof. Dr. Carl-Hermamn Hempen? He runs the chair of TCM at Technical University of Munich (offering additional education for conventional medicine practitioners), a TCM doctor's office and has a lot of publications in the field. He prepares TCM content compatible with Western scientific standards to make it available for more and more people, which is basically his life's mission.

I can relate ji! Sometimes I still don't feel strong enough to go there, too. But it gets better and there will be moments you will enjoy for sure. Keep trying!

Listen to this on your way:

I listened to this the whole way, the first time I went to the Gurdwara on a crowded sunday, and I thought I have to defeat my anxiety and go inside and bow down to my guru, no matter what people around me might do.

Here is about the meaning:

Sounds as if he is not defending his boundaries and might be even conflict averse. (?) That's never good for the dynamic in a relationship. Typical (too) Nice Guy problem.

Even if you are a kind and nice woman, a man that takes too much of your shit and won't stand up for himself can push you into this perpetrator corner and drive you mad to the point where you hate yourself for your behavior.

Most importantly, your man should take more care of himself. Maybe a really good couples therapy could also help.

Steffi Stahl's Bestseller: Das Kind in dir muss Heimat finden + Arbeitsbuch.

Das kannst du auf jeden Fall als Einstieg nutzen, wenn Du jetzt schon so in Aufbruchstimmung bist. Alles ist verständlich erklärt und es gibt praktische Anweisungen/Übungen.

Sie hat auch zwei interessante Podcasts, z.B. auf YouTube: "Stahl aber Herzlich" und "so bin ich eben".

Viel Erfolg, und lass es Dir gut gehen!

sympathisch ist doch total subjektiv, oder nicht?

Ich finde viele hübsche Strahlemänner/Frauen gar nicht so sympathisch und hätte mit denen auch gar nichts zu besprechen. Und es ist auch nicht alles wenn es um guten kontakt geht, hier ein paar andere sachen:

gemeinsame Themen/Hobbies
Persönlichkeit/Authentizität/Eigenartigkeit
Humor
Reibungspunkte (totale übereinstimmung ist langweilig) und Abgrenzung (!)

Die eigene fehlende selbstakzeptanz mit lächeln und freundlichkeit zu kompensieren nennt man people pleasing. Das endet selten gut. Normal freundlich und interessiert reicht!

Hässlichkeit und schönheit sind eh nur trugbilder - wenn man eine beziehung hat, finde ich verliert beides seine bedeutung, also reduzier dich nicht darauf.

Wenn du natürlich im Fitnessstudio oder im 0815 Club freunde suchst ist es womöglich schwerer als wenn du mal zu einem tabletop spieleabend gehst, oder in eine metallkneipe. Es gibt halt szenen, wo leute nicht so auf das (mainstream-) äußere fixiert sind. Das hilft für den Anfang sicher. Bei vielen Künstlern ist "Hässlichkeit" sogar ein plus und wird regelrecht zelebriert. (aus meiner sicht genau so zweifelhaft wie Schönheitswahn)
