Self-Motivation and Me
Over the last 6 months I have been working part time and trying to lose weight to allow myself to enlist into the military. I have been lurking on this site for a while now but never signed up, thought I'm not sure why. I love everything this site stands for and I think it's great what you guys are doing on here.
So about my topic, like I said I've been trying to lose weight over the last 6 months. It's been going pretty good I suppose, having lost right at 40 pounds. But…

Elaborate explanation expanding on neuroplasticty.
Hello, to all who may read this. I would like to start by pointing out that the reason I thought it might be a good idea to post this is that even though the explanation on neuroplasticity found in the 'Athene's theory of everything' documentary is to the point and straightforward. I personally found it lacking in detail and wanted to put this up here to clarify what and how it works. I used some of the material from the documentary in my own explanation and expanded deeply upon this as…

Hello.
Ahh, today I understood what gives me all of these bad thoughts about myself and so on.
For 4 years I've been thinking my own alternate reality in my mind. Living it, thinking new things out everyday.
And now I understood that I put myself lower then this "reality" and because of that I fell bad.
Never heard of someone doing like that so I think it's bad. Really having everything I've ever wanted is really cool even if it's only in my mind. I've sayd I will…

Trial and error
Just when Athene's stream ended, I "cracked" the character code of Athene's SC2 ID.
Well it was really just trial and error and took me about 30 minutes and gave me a stiff wrist.
The determination or perhaps the stubbornness delivered.
May/Should I publish his ID?

Lights and Sounds, and How they affect Us
I stumbled upon this site a few years ago and it compelled me to get a brainwave generator and to even try out some neural beats.
The website is about how Lights and Sounds, emmited at certain frequencies, can have specific affects on humans.

Where I've been and why I haven't been very active
G'MORNIN THERE IPOWER (oh yes, Dean- I'm not taking this from you, if you watch all my 90 day challenge videos they started with g'morning Ipower and/or hey there Ipower)
Oh man, where do I start. I haven't been very active here because I've been putting quite the bit of work into school. I've been dishing out papers and working out math problems like no tomorrow. But Chicago was recently cascaded with snow and all my classes were canceled since Tuesday Night- (so…

Applying the "Athene's theory of everything" to self dev
Hey,
I'm going to start posting the ways I've been using the documentary for self development. Criticism is welcome.
"Whatever you are doing at any time you are physically modifying your brain"
its pretty clear that this has massive implications for self development, when I keep this phrase in my working memory I find it extremely motivational because I realize the cost of doing something stupid in an unaware situation, and suddenly I can see…
