Intro - I want to help others
Hey everyone, I’m a biologist who also has a PhD in food studies. I’m also into fitness and healthy eating. Have been with my high school sweetheart for over 13 years and we just got married February 2nd. We have a successful and thriving real estate business that we started together in undergraduate. We have done well for ourselves, but now I’m at the point where I want to do more, help more people, and create more of an impact. I feel like what is needed now more than ever both for individuals and society is connecting and synthesizing philosophy, environmentalism, and human health and flourishing. I just made the recent decision to become a lifestyle coach to help others and I am already enjoying that a lot. I would like to make content alongside it to hopefully reach and help even more people live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. I’m excited to be in this group and see what everyone else is working on. I have a lot to learn as I have very little experience with social media, websites, editing, etc.

Dictator Mind
Mind = The ultimate insecure dictator The mind is the most power-hungry entity there is in the whole Universe. Why? - Can you effortlessly stay on an idea for too long? - Can you meditate easily without being bombarded with a barrage of seemingly disjointed thoughts? - Can you operate throughout a day without comparing yourself to literally everyone on anything & everything (e.g., running style, conversation-quality, clothing, sense of humour etc.)? - Can you express yourself & be totally indifferent to what & how you express it? - Can you peacefully sit by yourself and do absolutely nothing? I'm guessing just like me, the answer to most of these questions for most of you is no too. Unfortunate, but true. And I'm guessing this is no new information for any of you either. But what I do wanna draw your attention towards is the underlying theme in all this. Did you recognize one already? Looks like it's not just the tech companies that are extremely hungry of the most important resource you possess: attention. Your own mind is playing the same game too. But since the mind is something that is so intrinsically our own, we never quite question its working. We're too deeply attached to it to look at it objectively. This is why things like stoicism & meditation are so important. You'll have to separate yourself from your mind to observe its profoundly self-serving nature. Become the observer & you'll start to realize why the mind always keeps us running in loops in our heads. Why it is always so restless. Why it creates an imaginary image about you that dictate every last thought, action, & emotion of yours (think about walking on the street and being conscious of your gait, or speaking publicly in a class/meeting and brooding about how and what you said). We're always stuck in our heads. Meditation = Death of the mind Therefore, the mind never allows it. This is why it'll create all sorts of excuses in your head to postpone doing things that your intellectual plane of consciousness knows will make you mentally tough (exercise, meditation, self-inquiry). It is scared to lose power over you.

Have felt the difference when I’m consistently meditating vs when I’m not

I am a biologist who also has a PhD in food studies. I wish to enlighten others on the connections between philosophy, the environment, and health.
