Hey guys, here is my journey and the lessons I learned As @Mark X requested I share it her it is It all started about 20 years ago when I was 15, at the time I was feeling a little bit depressed and wanted to build freedom in my life, my parents were very strict and did listen to my complains seriously I was being bullied at school since the age of 8 and couldn't take it anymore, I was raised as Catholic and in the bible Jesus said if you get slapped on the right cheek give them your left which might have worked for him but didn't work for me, more Than that the only option my parents allowed me to use was to report the Bulling to the teachers... which only made it worse I remember the day It all changed, it was science class and someone made fun of me, and everyone laughed... even the teacher deep inside of me I felt rejected and, I felt betrayed by my parents, I had done everything to be the good kid they wanted me to be and I was forced to go to a school where I was just suffering So I made the decision to become the most rebellious and most popular kid of my school I started organising parties, first in bars (alcohol consumption for beers and low % beverage is allowed from 16) then at my parent's house when they were away, one day I met a dude at apery I had done in my parent's house we had ecstasy this blew my mind (duh) and I decided I was going to sell it, it would make me popular, feel good, and get money which happened, for the next ten years I was selling and making money I was known in various circles and clubs, owners would often prefer me as I was suppling their clients with good stuff without causing trouble this activity gre pretty well and I had a large range of products, basically all I'd want to consume on a daily basis at the peak I had 8 people working for me, and this is where things got tricky, one day my associate and best friend decided to set me up, this started an spiral of paranoia and overconsumptions, guns got involves and I wasn't ready for it

I’m having chicken salad with cheese and Romain lettuce. And a bowl of egg whites too soup with cucumbers, dates and some salt and pepper. Prior to this meal, I had some of my banana a protein cake for after workout quick replenishment. 1-to1 ratio of protein to carb works for me inter ms gaining strength while staying lean. Even prior to that, I started drinking protein shake with milk mid workout to kick start recovery. It keeps me hydrated as well. How do you guys recover after a workout or physical activity? @Bill Hazelton @Mike Pirie @Asha Hope

This is one of my best tasting recipes that doesn’t require any additional syrup or add-ons like chocolate to taste good. And that’s because of the natural aroma from Purple Sweet Potato and Taro. Let’s begin! Steam peeled purple sweet potato and taro for 25 minutes, crush them into mashed form Add two eggs One spoon of almond flour Chunks of fat-free Greek yogurt Mix thoroughly Air fry at 340F for 25 minutes @Bill Hazelton @Mike Pirie @Asha Hope @Anthony N @Jeremiah Hance @Laura Sura Have you tried purple sweet potato or taro before?

In my current professional life I am a master hypnotist, which in a way is the total opposite of being physically active, however we all know that recovery is on of the most important parts of muscle growth and any physical activity, in my life I always have been very active yet recovery wasn't always on my mind so I have this gift for you a hypnosis to help you recover and grow you muscles this hypnosis came from the desire of having better rest post workout but also became a way to disconnect from pain, in fact it's been two years I haven't taken any painkillers but used this hypnosis, as you may know my past with drug addiction, it was for me a way to prove to myself that I was stronger in my mind than the pain I still wan tot learn more of the pain killer hypnosis as I know some can even use hypnosis instead of anaesthesia during surgery, I have not mastered this technique yet but with this audio you will not only relax and recover faster but you can use it for migraines and physical pain PS if you have any request for hypnosis, let me know and I will record it
