Matthew 6:19-21 New King James Version Lay Up Treasures in Heaven 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
You can be poor and still be a hoarder. I went to program centers that gave “poor people” things for free. I collected so much stuff in my storage unit. Definitely was a hoarder. I got my own place and still trying to downsize from what I accumulated in my storage. You can also be poor and every chance you get money you buy something you don't need.
What about high trig lvl my level is 309mg/dL, LDL 139 mg/dL, HDL 50 mg/dL, Cho/ HDL 5.0, Cho 251 mg/HDL. And they put me on Rosuvastatin 10 mg but it caused a lot of muscle pain, indigestion, frequent urination, headaches and memory fog I complained and they lowered the dosage to 5mg should I continue to take it....
The way of life we have to live said in this video same way the Marwadi's are living in the India. It is the community who are very rich in India and they have the same philosophy as specified by Minimalism.
I needed this video. Might sound dumb but I need to watch this stuff other than looking up nonsense like the sport teams I love and thinking that is helping with my anxiety.
Sadly on the earth billions of people suffer for food they can't have one meal of the day other hand people chasing luxury lifestyle i am feeling shame see this kind people who are wasting so many things and food 😢😢😢
I watched it 2018. And it was a game changer. Stuff is not making you happier. You cant fulfill emptyness with things. What I missed was the scene Joshua is telling how he took care of the stuff when his mother died. His textbooks from school. It is the second documentary which is still on netflix. My mom recently died and I went through exactly that. It made me incredibly sad. Thanks to Matt D'Avella. This is a masterpiece of documentary. Thanks to Ryan and Joshua spreading their stories. ❤
I want one thing to be expanded on, although I’m animal based and it’s on board with it all - at the very end oxidized LDL due to polyunsaturated fats and (slightly) elevated LDL due to higher saturated fat intake, if both of these simultaneously occur and with insulin resistance, say with Fried Chicken with fries, or fatty meat with carbs and sweetened soda, wouldn’t the inclusion of saturated fat in addition to all the other garbage increase the chance for CHD even more? Basically, including high fat meat/animal foods/saturated fats when you’re already eating terribly (sugar & high PUFA) can push the LDL to an even higher level that can lead to higher incidence of atherosclerosis; so technically speaking it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that removing animal meat and saturated fat would technically lower chances of atherosclerosis, albeit this is not even close to addressing the underlying issue with metabolic health and the fact that optimal health would require good amounts of LDL. I’m just trying to pin the argument that would still be used against saturated fat and LDL given all that’s been said, and in the context that the only thing someone does to reduce their chances of CVD in their diet is to cut out saturated fat while maintaining a processed foods, seed oils, etc, in this case technically there’s a slight reduction in risk, and adding more saturated fat when insulin resistant with CVD susceptibility and maintaining a poor diet besides meat consumption would increase the chance of CVD. Does this make sense?
I've made progress in not reaching for my phone to fill every little void of space. Spending more time creating; being outdoors; having more face-to-face interaction. ...living real life; even if it means sitting on my porch with a glass of lemonade, in the complete stillness of quietude.
"While most of the effects held, participants with the highest cholesterol levels (245 mg per dL or higher [6.30 mmol per L]) did have a higher odds ratio for mortality than the two other cholesterol ranges analyzed. Patients with levels of 191 to 244 mg per dL (4.90 to 6.30 mmol per L) had the lowest odds ratio for mortality. In addition, cardiovascular disease status at baseline made a difference in functional and cognitive decline. " Elderly people do do better with elevated cholesterol but, if your cholesterol was over 244, it leads an increase in mortality. There are no elderly people walking around with 500+ cholesterol like Paul.
My doctor put me on a statin many years ago in my late 30s. Apparently bad cholesterol runs in my family. So, was this a bad move? My doctor said it was dangerous for me to be living with such bad cholesterol numbers. Hence, I've been on a statin for years. Mine is DNA based, not diet and exercise based.
Paul's "Dr." is from psychiatry. So much bro science here. There are many outliers but good lord, this is really bad putting out this information as if high LDL cholesterol is great for most of the general pop. Dr. Attia can run circles around this guy when it comes to MEDICAL.
“What are you trying to protect me from”… be really careful. I’ve cured CPTSD. Buddhism teaches to look inwards, Christianity teaches to look up. Looking inwards Satan grips you. Looking up God heals you. Buddhism teaches you to create space in the mind, Christianity teaches us to renew the mind. If you create space, what’s going to fill it? More anxious thoughts. When you put absolute faith in the safety and protection of God and renew the mind through meditation on the scriptures, you’re filling your spirit with peace and transformation.
“Kids cannot carry the emotional regulatory weight of their parents.” The stark truth of these words hit me, both as a mother and an only child of parents who were themselves shaped by trauma. Changing the pattern - making sure it does not continue to replicate - is my life’s work.
It's one thing to bring out the best in people, but another to make it a mission, no? And if they don't respond to your "help" the way you think they should, that it means they're not capable of change? Why would the capability to change necessarily be in response to a self-identified "helpful" friend? Also, "constructive feedback?" That's just criticism. Who thinks that others want their critique? The "giver" of "constructive feedback" is surely not expecting any in return, no?
Changing terminology if the older terms have been misused can make sense. Levels of intellectual handicap used to be described with terms that are now quite derogatory.
This conversation is so inspiring, I went through the house and decluttered some stuff by asking if I lived it or if it was for the approval of others. Thank you all.
The only way to cure anxiety is to understand it so you can ALLOW it. Exercise is useful, but it won't cure it. Curiosity is getting closer to the right approach, but we still end up debating anxious thoughts. We must understand that it is scary at times, but NOT SERIOUS as I explain in several videos. Great discussion and I hope that helps. Sam
My bf of 18 years and I had to move into his mom's place because we had some financial struggles after my old roommate was tricked into some pretty awful stuff. We had these people we assumed were friends who needed a place to stay and i asked the owner of they could stay temporarily until they figured stuff out. They never left. They were super lazy. They ate all of the food. They stole. They lied about tragic stuff happening s so they could ask to borrow money from my friend, who was retired. When I started working, my friend s stated getting on their case about working and moving out. I found out later that the wife of the family that moved in with us was planning to trick the owner into giving his house to her. They were bad people, i found out later. She was into fraudulent stuff with accounting and her husband robbed a pizza joint and never went to prison for it. Well they framed me for stealing from my friend by creating a receipt for a pawn shop. We were out of town and they used that opportunity to to go through our room and act as if theyd found it. When we got back, i wasn't allowed into the home. Not even for any of my belongings. We were forced to move into my bf mom's which is just hard as staying there would have been. 6 months later, I was the only one working, and did the best I could to save up for a used car only to have it taken by a tow company on Christmas Eve last year because I hadn't had the money to go get insurance and registration yet. That's a whole other story. I had trouble saving, it's really difficult with one income and having to start from scratch and replace the things you own but have no access to. My old roommate's kept all of our belongings. I wasnt allowed in the house to get anything I needed. I didn't have time to call police or make a scene because I had to go to work when we got locked out. My boyfriend and our pets went to stay with his mom until I could figure out what to do. I sent a text asking them to not throw my stuff away. I still have yet to get all of my items. They went through everything in my room and boxed up work items, cat stuff, pics but they kept the little bits of furniture I owned, they kept my dishes my mom gave me and anything of value. When I asked to retrieve my stuff, I was allowed to grab a few boxes of clothing. I asked for my box with all of my important paperwork and they NEVER gave it to me. They told me they threw away my bed after saying they'd let me have my stuff when I found a place. For the meantime, I was allowed to keep my stuff there. Do I have a case? If so what can I do to get these things back. I'm so tired of struggling to replace all I worked so hard for.
