a) law of assumption, not law of belief. And where did you get the other descriptions from? I've been on Neville sub for a while, literally noone describes the law in those words or speak in a spiritu…

No contact feels good when you remind yourself that you're empowering yourself. No one should dictate your self value, especially an ex.

Dude, if this feels good to you and you’re happy the way things are going, let no one tell you otherwise. It’s your story and no one’s in it but you. Generalized information can’t predict the future, …

I would dump you if i saw this I found out this was about me. You have issues, probably stemming from childhood, not your fault. But also she deserves someone who is into her physically and as a perso…

Good lordy, this advice is fantastic. I've heard my partner say VERY similar things about wanting separate houses nearby or a duplex. Sanctuary is a big thing for them, and I've been struggling on how…

Well, I’m nearing the two-month mark since I (31m) deleted all my apps, ended the situationships that weren’t going anywhere, and took my usual winter break to mentally recover from OLD burnout. Despi…

Most def! It feels good

Feels good, right? There’s a great, big world out there with a better partner walking around somewhere ❤️

This is kind of a tricky conversation at times but I don't think you need to entirely defer to the other person to set the pace, or otherwise. I'm not sure if you're someone who just likes focusing …

Just try doing it without the visual aides. Use you imagination and really focus on and do what feels good to you. You could also look into solo tantric practice.

I can live with 5%, 5% might even be nice, cause this 85% is really getting in the way of things right now. I feel like I've actually gotten out of this thread what I wanted which feels good. I just…

Haha - yeah, sometimes it just feels good to know you can still get to them. Sigh. Was texting with Ex for the first time in 6 months - telling myself that there’s no point and it’s not healthy for me…

Yay, be proud. It’s hard to do stuff solo but it’s worth it. Gym can be intimidating but remember that most people really aren’t paying attention or judging you. Just go and pick up some heavy stuff…

This bitch got a third date!!!!! My dude came in clutch with a 6pm Wednesday call for a Saturday night date. Per my rules, he was very close to the cutoff and I was about to get “very busy” with “othe…

He reached out to me in December but I ignored him, so I know he’s still interested. I wish I had taken a screenshot to prove that it’s still happening. I have screenshots from years ago but he could …

I have a few different things to say in response: First, I should answer your direct question: # What is Kindness I'd say that's just a semantic thing. The real question is what you think is the ri…

It sounds like he’s a good guy from how he responded, so try to trust in that. It never feels good to get an STD, but at least this was is curable and easy to treat.

Manifesting and fantasizing both use imagination, but they function very differently. Fantasizing is when imagination becomes an escape from reality. You imagine a scenario because it feels good, but…

I couldn't agree more! If it feels good you are moving in the right direction!!

If my ex called in a month or two where it is still early on in my healing, I would answer. As much as I would love a relationship with them, it will not be right off the bat. We were friends for mont…

I listened to a parenting podcast about teaching kids life skills, and I realised that good parents would have included us in household chores and taught us to tolerate boring tasks. I asked my mom wh…

Yeah, it's a common thing people like to push here because it feels good (and perhaps because technically there is some truth to it... technically anybody in the world can become enlightened in a sing…

Date on Monday was cute. We chatted for almost five hours, I walked her home, we smooched a bit and then very responsibly went our separate ways (and before midnight at that). ...And then she visite…

I always think my childhood wasn't that bad until something like this happens. Its like having ice water dumped on me. It really sunk in when my therapist told me one day that she was surprised I man…

I mean that is how I see my own responsiveness; I know it means a lot to them and it'll be fine, so I'm receptive. But would I be interested in it without him being interested? No. So basically I'm al…

I think you need humor? I mean I don’t know if this will work for you, but when I get this way, I need something that kind of short circuits the brain, like surprising someone with hiccups. Could you …

Forgot to add, since you have found relief with distracting before, if the thoughts start up again once you realize you feel kinda ok, maybe try urge surfing (just noticing you are feeling that way wi…

Fantasizing feels good but keeps you passive: you're escaping reality. Manifesting uses the feeling as fuel to move toward the goal; your decisions, habits, and energy start aligning with it. The del…

That line about keeping the peace starting to feel like tolerating disrespect is usually where the shift happens. I got there too. What helped me was separating those two things in my head. Staying c…

Your brain works on a reward-or-pain feedback system. Whenever something feels good, your brain wires itself to pursue more of that. Whenever something feels bad, it wires itself to avoid that. The …

No, it is definitely her problem too because having someone freak out after they see you naked hurts like hell. Ask me how I know. Everything you say sounds great and feels good to write but it is not…

We all share so many things as human beings - whatever you or I write about, many people will understand. Those people may not have had the words to express what they've experienced or felt until they…
