Yeah i heard of that study, and didnt follow news for a while until recently, didnt want to be ignorant of the happenings tho it doesnt contribute to my wellbeing.

Executive might be only way for now, wanted to have more space for dr4 as its starting to kick in now after a year of 3other stages but cant waste time on procrastination. Gotta also postpone khan black.

Is 3min loop enough to get things going thinking of a 7min dr4 and 3min executive tonight, havnt got it just yet but looks like i will have to, or should i do 5 or 7 min, want to be productive asap.

i’m not ignorant of the happenings - i have human conversations about them with my friends and family instead of being brainwashed by media

Bro, there’s some controversey on the science of it all, but DOPAMINE DETOX. Even if it’s for a day completley resets me back into the groove. Actually started doing one every Sunday, basically just no technology/tv or anything like that.

Pretty much just sit around, write, plan out my goals, sit there with my feelings/emotions that you haven’t been processing during the work week, meditate, and read. Seriously it’s crazy how many people can’t sit there and do nothing from constant stimuli. Lack of producitivity typically stems from resitstiance to taking action, which is basically due to unprocessed emotions. When you cut out all the external stimuli and just let things flow, taking action is so much easier.

Found that even with beneficial things like courses, podcasts, etc your going bombarded from every single direction on which is the best route, causing analysis by paralysis. Seriously dude best advice I can give is to cut out all the noise, it’s crazy how much of a difference it makes in your headspace doing this just once per week even!!!

Exactly what I was going to say.

I’ve realized/learned that I don’t need to be fearmongered by 24/7 news cycles to remain educated of the world.

If something is important, I’ll hear about it.

This way I don’t need to watch the news (or reddit, or whatever) and get programmed with their bullshit, and still trust that anything that is important to me will reach me.

First, make sure that your health needs are met.

The basics of meeting sufficient and nutritious caloric needs. Proper restful sleep. Daily oxygen, sports and excercises of your choice and stretches.

Get some vitamin D and Magnesium, they’re commonly deficient in our diets. Especially at this time of year, get the D.

Give yourself some time to play, you don’t want to turn into a dull boy like jack, who works all the time.

Get bloodwork done if you haven’t in a while, just a general check up.

Cut off all that crap from the news. No offense to anyone and my deepest sympathies to the poor souls, the ones shown on the screen and the ignored. The world is huge, and there are tragic
atrocities closer than we would like to admit. Cut the news off. There is barely anything new being reported, nor is it covering all the corners of the world. The news are repeating like history.

Read a book instead, or dance or something. Something that’s active rather than passive.

Listen to Executive or LE. They’ll show ya what needs to be disposed

I know that all to well.
My current stack with NewEmperor and GMogul helped a bit.
Every now and then I find the time and quiet to reflect why I’m not doing what I actually wanna do.
Then I start Journaling. I write about what I should do, what emotions are linked to that. What are potential fears, what would be the outcome of those fears etc.

This is what I wrotenin my journal last week

It only happened two times yet, but it’s working.

I get adds for some apps against procrastination for a few months now. They say “procrastination is not laziness, it’s a response to a trauma”.
I can’t definitely confirm that, but everytime I was able to journal, I realized that there were fears underneath the procrastination.

Tbh just delete youtube and block it out entirely

Go to the gym and meditate

Lastly, stop running healing subs or spiritual subs, run something like Emperor or Khan or Stark. Limitless Executive is a must.

Not about mainstream media but even good sources and interviews, reading the full history and all the cultural,ethnic, religious nuances, UN law, statistics, leaked files,how foreign countries influenced and shaped the the conflict, diplomacy with neighbours etc… Drags u down in a rabbit whole of information to understand all nuances and their interconnectedness but all takes time, energy and wellbeing.

Gotta milk dr4 since i ran it for a year previous stages and now main changes are kicking in but yeah should add executive immediately.

Wanted khan black in a month or two.

With all that intuitive energy and focus bro… You have the power to focus and be obsessed.

If you find the right skillsets to learn, you could be ultra successful

So just direct your focus to business or a skillset dude

Eliminate distractions, thats it lmao

No more news for you. Just stop it. Its not moving you forward in life and it’s taking away from your success dude.

Everytime u consume that shit your just getting farther and farther away from your successful reality.

Your wasting time.

Yeah i know i keep repeating it to myself but cant get the deeper mind to get it and embody it, executive might shift that

Okay i was about to get executive but then misclicked page and something caught my attention, as if by fate.
Emperor black twilight.
I seen this sub before on release but it didnt appeal at the time, now as i read the product page word by word, i knew everything resonated deeply and exactly perfect for my current intention and path.
It will tie in nicely with dr4 and recent washout from ros.
Maybe i should cut rich out since emperor black has financial benefit too and i want to mine out that inner true self and spiritual deepening.

I was gonna recommend Genesis as something in-line with Xavier’s rec of finding a business or skill to become obsessed with

But I think Emperor Black could lead you down the same path

Actually, the study showed that people who watched 6 or more hours daily (!) of news about the Boston marathon bombings reported more stress in an online survey 2-4 weeks after the incident.

Given that you have to be in a rather peculiar state to spend so much time watching TV about the incident, this doesn’t tell you much about causality. And the relevant comparison would be what would have happened to these obsessive watchers if they somehow didn’t have access to TV. But the study says nothing about that.

You can read the study here: Media’s role in broadcasting acute stress following the Boston Marathon bombings

Question. Did this appear before or after covid for you?

Before, i just kept finding ways to be busy with whatever and trying to justify it, the actions i need to take are very much in line with dr4 archetype and i been procrastinating on them with other stuff.

#21

We could probably start here. What do you feel you’re supposed to be doing? Procrastinating is in my experience just avoiding uncomfortable emotions. If we didn’t have tech we’d probably go for a walk, throw rocks at other rocks, stare at the sky, etc. My point being it’s not the technology that’s the problem, it’s just human behavior.

The courses and exercises that would resolve all those blockages dr4 is trying to break, but those blockages are putting resistance to doing that, making a paradox.
Now after i made the thread and contemplated introducing another sub might give me the extra push to break it.

#23

Thanks for that. For me, it’s a absolutely new point of few. If we need procrastination to cope with something, we procrastinate. Using social media, news or just nature.
That’s a great insight!
