Two good buddies of mine used to drool over foie gras. I couldn't do it. Then again, I don't like pate anyway! (They used to hate me calling it pate!).

People generally try to do everything in a big hurry. Then it becomes incredibly hard at outset and the temptation to give up is great. I am guilty of this plenty of times myself, but all my research into the theories behind willpower and habit formation suggest for long term change, start slow.

As mentioned in another thread, I may be facing impending legal issues that could a) cost me a big chunk of money, and b) take down my entire ecommerce business. The completely unknown nature of the outcome is a heart pounding experience. And knowing you will have to wait for a long time to find...

My recommendation would be to start with a very short list. Then, once each of these daily tasks become habit, slowly add new ones. When something is habitual, it takes up very little physical or mental energy. Habits help you preserve willpower for other stuff. I use conditional formatting in...

Essentially, the spreadsheet is like a third-party who holds me to account. I want to keep the green streak going so it motivates me. The mere measurement also helps too. A couple of years ago, I was using a spreadsheet to self-account. But I didn't use the colour green. I stopped using the...

Yes, I saw that in your conversation with Bee. We were talking amongst ourselves, debating which is was. I thought AI. But is that because I am into AI, futurism and the like, while Bee is more people orientated.

Thanks to all members who have got stuck into the conversations and helped The Mind Tavern get off the ground. I hope you have enjoyed your time here and continue to do so. We are only nine days old and have already fleshed out the site a little, with plenty of interesting topics going on and...

I know of quite a few people who either self-harm or have done in the past. Apparently, a lot of young women have or do self-harm too, and I sense it is on the rise. When I was at school, I never even heard of such things, but then again I am a bit of a dinosaur nowadays. Do you know of anyone...

Anyone had one? What are they like? (I'm having a mini-one now because I filed for a Trademark for my product and a rather large taxi-hailing service has opposed it. Just found out!)

Yes it has, perhaps best to get back on track.

There is often much moral debate about the cruelty of eating the flesh of animals. I get it, I love our furry blighters! But I detect double standards. There are many pescetarians out there who love to chomp on fish. And here is where the crux of my argument comes in... The way fish are treated...

I was thinking about where to post something about moral questions and I felt The Watercooler is ok, but not ideal. So, I have name changed the "Religion and Spirituality" forum to "Religion, Spirituality and Morality." I am not making the assumption that to be moral you need to be religious...

Let's settle this once and for all. Prove there is not a God, if that is your belief.

For me personally, I would love to believe in an afterlife. I see that belief as having many tangible benefits, including the alleviation of the fear of death. Yet at the same time, the scientist in me pulls towards my own oblivion. When I am dead, that's it! What is your view on this? Do you...

Is this a Mental Health Doc, or for the physical ailments?

Let me introduce you to something that has had a transformative effect on my life. It is tried and tested and not just theoretical. It really does work, for me at least! It revolves around the assumption that your habits are essentially the drivers of what you do. Without the habit, you are left...

Do the doc meetings help out much? I can imagine the CBD thing getting into a nice little routine, a bit like when I go to my local coffee shop and order the same thing each day: medium cappuccino extra hot takeaway cup + biscotti. That is until they changed the brand of biscotti to a rubbish...

I started to get a bit of toothache early last night. Then, for some inexplicable reason, I can't stop wiggling the thing!! Why is that?

Do you do Yoga then? The CBD, pardon my ignorance, is it something you smoke mostly?

Behave!
