Great morning of research. Been focusing on serotonin elevation in the Unable / learned helplessness, the left side of the hamster wheel, compared to the adrenergic response to stress seen in right siders. I get so excited by this building out of the framework and have to observe my tendency to switch levels and lose threads. But that's a natural part of grappling with a complex system. Interestingly I was watching Steven Maier's Stress, Coping, Resilience and the Prefrontal Cortex presentation on YouTube and was surprised at how he kept mentioning how clever neuroscientists are. And how little awareness he had of that behaviour. 😜 I think his work is an important part of the puzzle. He'll probably create a drug for it eventually. But serotonin's effect on thyroid suppression and what that does to the energy system is going to be more actionable for people suffering right now. #peatstr #hamsterwheels #glitch

You can't fix the log by standing on it better. The log is the problem. The mind that created the struggle cannot solve the struggle. It can only spin faster, bakcwards or forwards, searching for safety. The only move is out. Not better balance. Not more effort. Just seeing the whole thing from the shore.

So good to be a bitcoiner

I've spent my life being the helper. Always the expert. Always achieving. Always doing, because somewhere along the way I learned that being useful was how you earned love. I've realised I don't know what I actually enjoy. I'm in that right now. And it's the most uncomfortable and honest place I've ever been. The drive has gone. Not dipped, gone. And I can't go back onto the wheel because I can finally see it for what it is. A fake life. The trade offs no longer work. What I'm left with is an emptiness. It feels so alien to not strive, not be constantly doing in order to be seen as special or to be someone. I don't know what I enjoy and I now have to wait to feel what that actually feels like. A driven life without enjoyment is a prison, a hellish hamster wheel. It took me a while to see that truth and now I cannot unsee it. Yesterday I danced to some old tracks by the pool. I went for a walk in the beautiful countryside which filled my senses so fully. Most of what I do right now is nothing. I'm just fully present. Maybe that's where it starts.

Rob here. The Inner Circle is live. If you've been sitting with your pattern -- the one that keeps showing up no matter how much you understand it -- this is the next step. There are 10 Founding Member spots. That's not a device. It's the number I can actually work with at this level. When they're gone, the price goes up. The community stays open -- but the founding rate locks permanently for the people who took it. What founding members get that nobody else will: The rate is locked for life. Everything lives in one app -- the live weekly sessions, the full Glitch video course, Q&A, the archive, and a community of people doing the actual work, not just reading about it. It's on your phone. It goes where you go. The difference between this and reading the book: the book shows you the map. The community is where you navigate in real time, with other people who can see the wheel you're on when you can't. If that's you, go here now:

Beautiful Sunday in #madeira

I watched my daughter dance this morning. She was spinning around the kitchen, lost in her own world. And there I was, physically present, but mentally, my mind had caught my attention. One of my "hamster wheels" had caught my attention without me noticing. Some thought, some worry, some phantom urgency pulled me away from the only thing that actually mattered: my child, right in front of me. This is what most of us don't understand about attention. You're not choosing where it goes. Old survival programmes are. They were built by a younger version of you trying to stay safe, and they've been running on autopilot ever since. The result? We reach 50, 60, 80 and realize we spent our lives focused on things that weren't truly valuable to us. Social media has made this worse. It's literally engineered to feed your hamster wheels. Here's what actually works: Watch where your energy goes. Notice which wheel is spinning. Understand that the programme is not you. It's a defense mechanism from a child who no longer needs it. When you see it clearly, something shifts. The grip loosens. And you come back. To the room. To the person in front of you. To your actual life.

Sylvia’s talk went down very well and there was a full crowd. (I cut them out for privacy) - lots of questions about citadel.garden & a place to be afterwards. Big thanks to @freemadeira & @npub1tdc9...8r0y for hosting the event. #madeiramagic #citadels @npub1hwmj...sum6
