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

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.

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 & @André Loja for hosting the event. #madeiramagic #citadels @npub1hwmj...sum6

I met a guy at btc Prague who was an expert in natural swimming pools - I can’t remember his name. Does anyone know him or anyone who is an expert in that area? #asknostr

The world's highest intelligence is nature. Medicine, from medi, meaning to bring to centre, and cine, from the ancient sin, not the interpretation of moral failing, but the archer's term: to miss the mark. True medicine, then, is the art of returning to centre all the ways we have strayed from our own nature. This is the way.
