Phil Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Blame’s an emotion (not an action). Emotional alignment is apparently very tied to diet. Guidance for diet thoughts too. Sorry not sorry. ♥️ If you’re going to wake up so to speak, you’re not going to be thinking like people anymore. Being the creator of your reality consciously is unthinkably connective and not the least a bit isolating. Well-being is truly undeniable.

Are we in alignment with technology, using it with love and intention? @Phil At least here it's not predominantly blame, although blame is also of value as emotional guidance and just as much releasing as it can be resisting. It's like preparing your home for a newborn baby. Response-ibility and love is creating an environment that's most aligned with well being as possible. We're all always creating, and we're always metaphorically pregnant, paving the way (or unpaving it) for the next generation. We don't put lead in paint anymore. It's not either an individual or collective matter. Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too frequent intense workouts aren't aligned with wellbeing, they just trash your adrenals. They're fun once in a while for a reason, it's likely that only in the name of goals or identification, (or for work and income) that one would want to do them frequently. We're not designed to sit all day then work out intensely for a short period to try to make up for it. We're designed to move around a lot throughout the entire day. Fast food and gas station offerings are built around the automobile, the most difficult time to eat healthy is while traveling. If you want to travel and maintain a healthy diet you will have to do A LOT of planning. Walking and biking lowers stress while traffic congestion is a stressor. Stress prompts a person to want to eat even more and your body is designed to release stress and its food/energy intact through movement. Over reliance on automobiles and making the majority of cities, towns and amenities inaccessible for pedestrian traffic literally seatbelts people into place. It's no one's fault that they're fat in an environment designed that way, they just have to see what's happening and somehow buck the trend. That's why theme parks are such a fun respite... they are walkable. The date on the first picture, 1908, was prior to Henry Ford's revolution. Now automobiles are the requirement in the US especially, you must pay to play, unless you live in a city the size of which means that it's so polluted with automobile emissions that the air isn't healthy for you to walk in anyway.

Orb Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 With every innovation that helps people comes unhealthy excesses, these are never separate. It's up to you to be responsible no matter where you are. Fast food places aren't literally forcing you to eat their food. Also ime fitness and driving cars are not at odds at all. There are countless examples of people who drive and are fit/healthy. Driving doesn't turn you into those fat people from WALL-E. I also don't see why fat people can't just stop eating so their bodies can burn off all the fat, after all fat is just stored energy waiting to be used. Whenever I bring up this simple solution I hear a million excuses lol. I saw a study done YEARS ago, where they gave this obese guy a vitamin pill, coffee, and water for about a year and he lost all the fat. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.

Phil Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The food industry is also nearly perfecting nutritional value calorie density wise. ✊🏼 The McDonalds closest to where I live went out of business and closed about a month ago. ✊🏼✊🏼 @Mandy I just meant in the sense there isn’t technically anyone or anything to blame, but there’s the emotion blame. Which for sure, yes, can be a healthy relieving expression. Like whenever anything goes wrong with this site. I always just secretly blame you & it does feel really great.

Phil Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 @Mandy 😂 Literally as I mentioned this thread and my funny comment to my wife she went to give me a hug goodbye and her foot hit the end table knocking my full coffee off and onto the floor. She said “still?”, and I said reluctantly, “yep”. 😂 Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed2 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I wonder what people did before TVs, computers and smartphones. Like if you felt tired, what was there to do while sitting or lying down except reading a book? Nowadays it's easy to spend an entire day just sitting or lying down, not walking much.

Most likely using food as an escape from feeling unpleasant emotions/sensations. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.
