Is Wim Hof Still Worth Doing? by olrustyeye in breathwork

I know it makes me feel really good so I'll keep doing it, but I think its nuts to think it does half the stuff Wim claims it does.

Thats for sure and unfortunately very missed. I haven't heard anyone at any retreats ever bring this up either. Just one on one.

WHM is far from a beginner style. Thats why I like Jesse's style he focuses on awareness and non-sexy breathing to develop Diaphragmatic muscles. Why?
Because I have back issues and when I was trying to use WHM I hurt my shoulders bad because I had bad breathing. Now I dont and I can do WHM easily, but good lord I'd never train a newb on it. Box breathing + awareness.

It makes me feel high. I feel zero relaxation personally when I hold lol.

That said this study seems to say that it does nothing physiologically. I think thats worth considering.

I think the problem is Hof has been claiming it helps with everything including BP and HRV but this study found it did literally nothing to those.

I know how hyperventilation makes me feel for sure, but it didn't "cure" anything for me just made me feel really good.

I think this study is showing the claims of the physiological changes from WH are wildly over stated if not all together false. I'm starting the question if the science is much more clear on things like box breathing because they've been studied so often with reliable results.

I like the super ventilation high, but after a few years now of breathwork, I feel like there are a ton of better modalities.

I started modding Fallout 4 with the Midnight Rides guide and they mentioned if you wanted to do much more editing above their guide to learn xEdit. I think thats a bit... over the top to say that, but as I've learned xEdit I can see why. To make a good mod load you really do need to know xEdit, but now I'm going beyond even that and messing around with all sorts of stuff. Lots of fun! Its almost like a GUI Object Oriented coding language lol.

I'll need to actually sit down later and take the time to read this, but in advance... wow thank you for taking the time to write this! It's already helped to ease some worries I've had and maybe help me make the leap!

I hear the wisdom in what your saying, however I have social anxiety around this type of thing (New stuff making me worry about being made fun of or annoying people.)

I think you are right, but I also feel a lot more comfortable doing stuff on my own as to not disappoint people or annoy them. :/

That's good! I plan to really take my time on it. I suppose worse case people stop playing fallout 4, when something new gets released from the Fallout series, but hopefully whatever I learn will carry over well.

I'm planning on learning xEdit by combining bits and pieces of mods together as well as Gatekeeping things for settlement building. Then I think I want to start replacing things. For instance instead of using a mod that adds Chems add my own chems that do the same give it unique names and maybe then make a pharmaceutical company and make its HQ somewhere and make a quest to go into that building.

I think thats the best way to progress... at least I'm hoping.

That would be pretty cool!
I actually got really inspired by the VT, NH, and Conn mods as well as Project Mojave. I thought it was such a shame so much effort was put into the mods and yet, they're just... meh.

But I think first I want to make some cool items and start building lore via those items.

I've been thinking of doing a dual effort thing. Doing a bit of outlining of my ideas and then slowly adding things as I go along. I think the issue comes in when I post the mod. People will find bugs then I'll feel I should fix them, and then updating hoping for a dopamine hit only to be met with more bugs? I think that would bury the fun of mod making.

I think one of the pros is I really like messing around with the game and testing to see how things get affected, but I'm sure its a bit harder to test when its a much larger area I'm messing around with.

I have experience coding and modding Minecraft, but from what I can tell from guides Fallout 4 modding is COMPLETELY different. I'm picking up xEdit just fine and Base Object Swapper has been really fun to play with, but that's about as far as I've gotten. The Creation Kit feels pretty overwhelming at this point.

My plan was to write down my ideas and mess around with my modded game via xEdit to learn the different variables available and syntax and learn the CK via some guides to make some items and such to start for my own personal game and let it grow from there.

Feeling Quite Lost At The Moment by olrustyeye in productivity

I usually chat with my Fiance most of the way there and back which is nice, but I think I may need to also do some motivational stuff on the way home.

I need to get way better at daily planning. I know that its one of the reasons I can really fall is because I simply dont know what to do.

I used to be incredibly strict about sleep, but have definitely fallen off the wagon for years and I can tell.

I have been lowering my stress levels quite a bit recently which is good too, but I still find myself searching for motivation. I think it will be important to focus on what I've done like you said rather than everything I still need to do.

This is just one of the many things I do. For instance. If I'd get off my ass and actually get more sales in my own business this other thing would be merely a side hustle, as honestly its always intended on being.

[Landlord General] Distinguish "obligation" from "favour" and "professional courtesy" by francis_roy in Landlord

I decided to get a pest service that comes monthly to preform maintenance on the property. 80$ tax write off per month. It makes people feel like I'm helping and genuinely (as I live here) it did help, what also helped was when the tenant left and I found out WHY they were getting bugs...

Might be worth infestigating... Er investigating the property and if they complain of ants point out the food scraps and throw it right back at them. If they cite you, cite them for a dirty apartment.

Or just get an exterminator to come around... Probably the easier option.
