Interestingly, federally funded studies through MAPS are finding that small amounts of psychedelics greatly affect the default mode. You become more aware of what is typically on auto pilot and are able to essentially reprogram yourself. It’s literally, “if you could see yourself right now…” Granted, I feel the majority of folks don’t need to use those kinds of tools, but it does make you think about what nature has given us, how it seems to magically interact with just the right receptors, and also makes you wonder about how significant a role they played in the shaping of our species over millennia. If this talk gives you anything, read up on what he referred to as default mode. It’s fascinating.
I did smoke. But I never get addicted. Because I know smoking isn't gonna help me solve my problems, it just romanticizes anxiety. So I became disenchanted with smoking altogether even though mint Marlboro was kinda fun.
My friends smoke but I don't. Just adjust your mind in a way that finds smoking isn't cool or helpful in any way. Good luck quitting smoking.
My habit: eating for the wrong reasons

Lying on the bed for too long etc daily schedule good habits 1. go to bed early 2. get up early 3. Fajr prayer 4. breakfast+cleaning the house 5. Duha prayer + shower 6. do school work 7.Learn English 8. Zuhur prayer 9. iron clothes 10.Exercise 30 minutes or more 11. read a book 12. take a bath + asr prayer 13.painting 14. vocal practice 15. afternoon walk I feel good when I do good habits but for now it's hard for me to do it Sorry friends, the story turns out to be not a little, but a lot

Isn't it a bad habit not bother to shave beards even it looks not that nice in front of a room of audience?
The amount of condescension in this video can drown an entire nation.
Thank you sir
Why does every TED talk person think that they have to yap for 10 minutes before getting to the point of what they're talking about? And then force in some humor, when they are not humorous? It must be the TED talk formula that the audience don't know about. It's really quite tired, though.
he is really awesome. im reading his book about anxiety for the second time. at the first time i didn’t read through but it helped me a lot.
Abe sale phone is my life and I love ? phone and I am made of phone.

Smoking is bad, but it's also cool, but it's bad.
I'll watch this video later.
bless
This is revolutionary for me!!
Just being aware of a bad habit will not break it, what type of advice it that?
Bravo!!
<3
Craving can be controlled by Cognitive control ( That’s knowing what’s right or wrong).
But when we get stressed out, it can be controlled by Mindfulness (That’s awareness of what’s actually happening in our bodies and mind form moment to moment).
This video is cool
I’m really breaking bad.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FEEL THE JOY OF LETTING GO .
