The exercises in this book are a slimmed-down version of the 5BX plan by the RCAF. I started doing these about 3 months ago and can really recommend this. It only costs about 11 minutes of your daily time. The full version of these exercise

Not ill for 32 years (except the minor flu/cold once every 2/3 years), and what you feel is delusional, is real to me. My immune system does what it needs to do and I can eat from the ground, i live a lot from dumpster dived food,

The whole thing about my life is that I don't factor anything. I live healthy and without plans, what I have now can be gone tomorrow. In my belief system is included the belief that I'm never ill and that everything I need will a

When I'm old and weak, I don't need any perfect life extending care, I just need TLC until I die. My desire is not to get old and needy, my desire is to live a fulfilling life that is hopefully an example and inspiration for many

We're not meant to 'do jobs', so none would make me happy :) The only think that makes me happy is doing what makes me happy, which currently is travelling and finding a place to start a village according to my philosophy and

It sounds awful that people have to work all of their lives, so they have built up enough social security and pension that they can spend all of this when they're too old and weak to actually enjoy it. I retired at 30, not willing to t

On a less-serious side note, this article reminds me a lot of this blog post: http://stuffdutchpeoplelike.com/2012/03/20/not-working/

I don't think so, as more men tend to choose an education that paves an easier path to acquiring a board position. This is not because women are less capable, but because they somehow feel less attracted to this field of work. This of

"The Dutch government has said that by next year 30% of executive board positions should be held by women..." I wish one day we can do away with this sort of 'reverse' sexism, and I think that next year 100% of executive

Normal or small dosage of LSD also doesn't lead to loss of control. Personally, even a big dosage has never lead to massive loss of control.

Although it might be better to do a web search yourself and choose a source that seems trustworthy to you, I can provide you with this one for example: http://www.indianmirror.com/ayurveda/rosemary.html

The anti-depressant (and other) properties of Rosemary are already known for many centuries and are recorded in the Ayurveda. Nice to see modern science coming to the same conclusion, although sad that many mice had to be made sick, get tre

F*cking up a lot is a good start ;) When you don't understand things like user permissions, best is to make up some scenario's and write them down on paper. It makes these things easier to grasp, when you can strike through imposs

I once started a photo blog on soup.io, but as there are sometimes months where I'm rarely online, I have neglected this big time. It is definitely a wish for me to write down what I do and what happens to me, but I haven't spent

My shoes are hiking boots :) I recycled myself some nice Teva sandals in October, but after 4 months in the rough landscape of Tenerife, they were ruined so I threw them away. If I need new shoes, I know I will find them somewhere, most lik

I started to live minimal two years ago. I noticed I wasn't happy at all with my life and decided to go travelling the world, something that I always wanted to do, but somehow never did. I gave away almost all my stuff, what I have lef

Have you ever taken psychedelics? Did you even read the article? You cannot judge things you are ignorant of. Also, none of the programmers in the comments are high while coding. Some who have used psychedelics only told it gave them more i

If you eat the right food, you don't need to count any calories and can just eat until you had enough. I start my day by drinking a cup of coffee with 60-70 grams of grass-fed butter (Bulletproof Coffee) and it made me lose 15 kilo&#x2

At the place I chose for now as my 'central hub', there are also people living with kids. Money is not needed, the property is squatted in the seventies and later bought. Some people earn money and are happy to provide for electri

If I need money, I could basically earn money by playing music or whatever on the street, or DJ-ing in bars/clubs, as this is my passion. I travel by hitch hiking, there are communities that live completely without money, either by bei

I quit my job almost a year ago and never worked a day since, and I never will anymore, at least in the traditional sense. I went from middle class to moneyless and I could't be happier with my life, which involves travelling all over

I like to control things as well, but not things I am not able to, like other people, or distant wars, or politicians, etc :) Anyway, I got a lot of insights that really changed my life for the better. Funny thing is that most of it is comm
