Read the comments, apparently people live long and full of energy on precessed food, smoking and drinking: " I think all of those people have massive determination. They’re highly motivated, very goal-oriented, and genuinely passionate about what they do every day. It's like when a teenage boy gets a call from a girl who wants to be with him, even if he hasn’t slept all night, he’s just going to go. I’m 29, I eat as clean as I can, spend a ton of money on supplements, do cardio and lift almost every day, and I get 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night. But I fucking hate my job, I only do it because I have to, I feel tired every single day, even when I technically have energy, it doesn’t feel like it. I’m sure that if I were doing something I actually enjoy, I’d feel way better, but the truth is… I have no idea what that is."
Having just returned from a busy trip, I'm reminded how essential it is to have a home that melts away tension the moment you step through the door. Without that, it's easy for a hollowed-out feeling to grow. "Environments perceived as safe and predictable help down-regulate the amygdala, the brain’s threat detection center. This contributes to parasympathetic activation (rest-and-digest mode), improving emotional stability and recovery from stress."
