    Egads.
    • I wonder where you'd put your "releasing past traumas" in Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs....
    • "Discipline only lasts so long..." That's beautiful. Poetic. Koan-like! Cash-manifesting, even. Sweeeeet.

    Here -- I'll give you a freebie: "The way which can be described is not the way."

    [EDIT] Having reread this entire thread, I'm struck by how constructive everyone's posts have been -- and how raw and snarky and obnoxious is my "contribution" above. :confused: But I'll own it.

    And maybe lean a bit on my earlier Thoreau-based post: clarity in seeing patterns of one's own behavior is (IMO) much more important than new responses. Thus, discipline in self-reflection is more important than discipline in self-correction. Horse comes before the cart, and all that.

    Now, one could fold that a bit differently, and come up with "discover your traumas! Clarity!" as a solution, but that is a narrow, narrow slice of life, and one that would handily lead to repeat visits, if one were in the business of discussing such things....:rolleyes:

    “As open offices and digital nomads are on the rise, workers are finding it ever more important to have personal space where they can focus,” the company told Dezeen. “Wear Space instantly creates this kind of personal space – it’s as simple as putting on an article of clothing.” The device, which debuted as a prototype at SXSW earlier this year, is now the subject of a crowdfunding campaign. Early birds can snag one

  3. Tommcginnis Your post is an excellent example of lots of knowledge and no wisdom. Thanks for owning it, and thus providing just a pinch of wisdom.

    That sounds good ; never have tried hypnosis, but that is OK. I have a sis + never no never did like hype- unless it was in SPY or QQQ + nice trend .LOL WEb MD is mostly positive on hypnosis for phobias, fears, depression, anxiety. Actually years of chart study will/can cure a fear of a bull market/bear market. Depression maybe more complex, especially in winter/low light.....................................................................................................:caution::caution::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:Thanks

    Instead of trying to get out of bad habits, develop new winning habits:

    Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, the power of thinking without thinking.

    Thinking without thinking sounds like Mr. Mark Douglas pscho-babbel LOL:D:D;
    unless that book involves your subconscious mind- which they say never forgets anything.By the way, I NEVER have bought TSLA junk[ nor junk silver lately] + most likely NEVER will. But if Wall Street thinks they may fire mr musk, I noted many months ago,OK. Mr Gladwell does note if both show contempt in a marriage =that's trouble. Sounds right.....Actually I'm getting more out of his David + Goliath book.......Misfits + Battling Giants/Gladwell.....................................................................:caution::caution:,:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::caution:
