02:00that energy into my creative endeavors that energy into my creative endeavors to manifest more of what I want in my to manifest more of what I want in my to manifest more of what I want in my life and contribute to the world to the life and contribute to the world to the life and contribute to the world to the best of my ability and it's been about best of my ability and it's been about best of my ability and it's been about 30 days so far so what's happened well I 30 days so far so what's happened well I 30 days so far so what's happened well I don't want to sugarcoat things so I want don't want to sugarcoat things so I want don't want to sugarcoat things so I want to be real with you guys so first of all to be real with you guys so first of all to be real with you guys so first of all I'm going to share with you some of the I'm going to share with you some of the I'm going to share with you some of the challenges before we get into the challenges before we get into the challenges before we get into the benefits so the first week or so was benefits so the first week or so was benefits so the first week or so was going really well going really well going really well feeling fresh feeling alive and then on feeling fresh feeling alive and then on feeling fresh feeling alive and then on day nine I felt this sudden rush of day nine I felt this sudden rush of day nine I felt this sudden rush of anger or frustration in the form of anger or frustration in the form of anger or frustration in the form of like heat in the body now I'm a pretty like heat in the body now I'm a pretty like heat in the body now I'm a pretty mindful person you might say so I mindful person you might say so I mindful person you might say so I recognized this was happening and tried recognized this was happening and tried recognized this was happening and tried my best you know to observe it but I'm my best you know to observe it but I'm my best you know to observe it but I'm not superhuman yet and for a couple of not superhuman yet and for a couple of not superhuman yet and for a couple of seconds I had this playful moan good seconds I had this playful moan good seconds I had this playful moan good friend while simultaneously saying this friend while simultaneously saying this friend while simultaneously saying this is just a no that frustration coming out is just a no that frustration coming out is just a no that frustration coming out and you know I was laughing about it at and you know I was laughing about it at and you know I was laughing about it at the same time now I very rarely complain
03:00the same time now I very rarely complain the same time now I very rarely complain about anything in the sense of about anything in the sense of about anything in the sense of complaining for the sake of complaining complaining for the sake of complaining complaining for the sake of complaining it's my personal philosophy - more or it's my personal philosophy - more or it's my personal philosophy - more or less never do that and so you know I'm less never do that and so you know I'm less never do that and so you know I'm not at all angry or resentful my not at all angry or resentful my not at all angry or resentful my ex-partner Eva so all I can say is that ex-partner Eva so all I can say is that ex-partner Eva so all I can say is that I felt some of that built up energy I felt some of that built up energy I felt some of that built up energy rising to the surface and maybe a bit rising to the surface and maybe a bit rising to the surface and maybe a bit unbalanced at the time so it manifest is unbalanced at the time so it manifest is unbalanced at the time so it manifest is a hot frustrated kind of feeling and a hot frustrated kind of feeling and a hot frustrated kind of feeling and with my awareness it dissolved in a few with my awareness it dissolved in a few with my awareness it dissolved in a few hours and that's what you have to do in hours and that's what you have to do in hours and that's what you have to do in those situations is just have mindful those situations is just have mindful those situations is just have mindful audio awareness observe the sensations audio awareness observe the sensations audio awareness observe the sensations in the body and try not to let them take in the body and try not to let them take in the body and try not to let them take over your mind and control your thinking over your mind and control your thinking over your mind and control your thinking and then you know watch them slowly and then you know watch them slowly and then you know watch them slowly dissolve and then around day ten or dissolve and then around day ten or dissolve and then around day ten or twelve I guess I what they call in the twelve I guess I what they call in the twelve I guess I what they call in the no fat community flatlined because I was no fat community flatlined because I was no fat community flatlined because I was absolutely exhausted for a couple of absolutely exhausted for a couple of absolutely exhausted for a couple of days it felt like that atmosphere was days it felt like that atmosphere was days it felt like that atmosphere was like made of mud or something and I was
04:00like made of mud or something and I was like made of mud or something and I was just trying to like push through it just trying to like push through it just trying to like push through it every time I wanted to move now I don't every time I wanted to move now I don't every time I wanted to move now I don't know if this was a flatline symptom or know if this was a flatline symptom or know if this was a flatline symptom or if maybe I just got ill as since being if maybe I just got ill as since being if maybe I just got ill as since being fully plant-based whenever I get a cold fully plant-based whenever I get a cold fully plant-based whenever I get a cold or some kind of infection which isn't or some kind of infection which isn't or some kind of infection which isn't very often so far I seem to be pretty very often so far I seem to be pretty very often so far I seem to be pretty much symptomless in the sense that I much symptomless in the sense that I much symptomless in the sense that I don't get much of a runny nose or a sore don't get much of a runny nose or a sore don't get much of a runny nose or a sore throat or anything like that but I just throat or anything like that but I just throat or anything like that but I just feel pretty lethargic until it clears so feel pretty lethargic until it clears so feel pretty lethargic until it clears so you know it could have just been that you know it could have just been that you know it could have just been that now for the positives as I started my now for the positives as I started my now for the positives as I started my streak the energy and vitality just kind streak the energy and vitality just kind streak the energy and vitality just kind of ramped up and up towards the end of of ramped up and up towards the end of of ramped up and up towards the end of the first week and that weekend I went the first week and that weekend I went the first week and that weekend I went to an event where I talked to the public to an event where I talked to the public to an event where I talked to the public and I do some one-to-one sort of and I do some one-to-one sort of and I do some one-to-one sort of discussions and teachings discussions and teachings discussions and teachings I just felt like I was on fire all the I just felt like I was on fire all the I just felt like I was on fire all the words and all the concepts and ideas words and all the concepts and ideas words and all the concepts and ideas that I needed just seemed to be there that I needed just seemed to be there that I needed just seemed to be there and instantly accessible in my mind and and instantly accessible in my mind and and instantly accessible in my mind and I was actually really tired from a long
05:00I was actually really tired from a long I was actually really tired from a long day working so I didn't know how I was day working so I didn't know how I was day working so I didn't know how I was going to perform but once I got into it going to perform but once I got into it going to perform but once I got into it the words and the concepts just flew out the words and the concepts just flew out the words and the concepts just flew out and I seemed to enter one of those high and I seemed to enter one of those high and I seemed to enter one of those high energy flow states where everything is energy flow states where everything is energy flow states where everything is just coming together perfectly just coming together perfectly just coming together perfectly everyone's responding really well and everyone's responding really well and everyone's responding really well and everything's won't just like a little everything's won't just like a little everything's won't just like a little bit magical and I've had a few more of bit magical and I've had a few more of bit magical and I've had a few more of those states since in you know in the those states since in you know in the those states since in you know in the last few weeks last few weeks last few weeks it appears that whilst holding my sexual it appears that whilst holding my sexual it appears that whilst holding my sexual energy it's like my brain becomes this energy it's like my brain becomes this energy it's like my brain becomes this well-oiled machine and this is well well-oiled machine and this is well well-oiled machine and this is well documented within the no-fat movement documented within the no-fat movement documented within the no-fat movement and various spiritual cultures and various spiritual cultures and various spiritual cultures throughout history you often get access throughout history you often get access throughout history you often get access to a more energised form of intelligence to a more energised form of intelligence to a more energised form of intelligence better ideas eloquence creativity wit better ideas eloquence creativity wit better ideas eloquence creativity wit poise and a big-picture thinking so poise and a big-picture thinking so poise and a big-picture thinking so that's another reason for anyone who that's another reason for anyone who that's another reason for anyone who hasn't tried it yet to start this
06:00hasn't tried it yet to start this hasn't tried it yet to start this journey now another thing is I noticed journey now another thing is I noticed journey now another thing is I noticed that my beard and hair will grow faster that my beard and hair will grow faster that my beard and hair will grow faster or fuller or something either way I'm or fuller or something either way I'm or fuller or something either way I'm not just imagining it it's like my beard not just imagining it it's like my beard not just imagining it it's like my beard and hair fills out really quickly and I and hair fills out really quickly and I and hair fills out really quickly and I swear on my longest streaks I've swear on my longest streaks I've swear on my longest streaks I've actually seen like my hairline grow in a actually seen like my hairline grow in a actually seen like my hairline grow in a little bit like new hairs actually little bit like new hairs actually little bit like new hairs actually growing where they usually stop which is growing where they usually stop which is growing where they usually stop which is good if you want more hair but I guess good if you want more hair but I guess good if you want more hair but I guess not so good if you want easy beard not so good if you want easy beard not so good if you want easy beard maintenance or to go cheaper on haircuts maintenance or to go cheaper on haircuts maintenance or to go cheaper on haircuts because well it's out of control because well it's out of control because well it's out of control pretty quickly either way there must be pretty quickly either way there must be pretty quickly either way there must be some hormonal thing going on there and some hormonal thing going on there and some hormonal thing going on there and the other thing I noticed which seemed the other thing I noticed which seemed the other thing I noticed which seemed to be a lot more pronounced this time is to be a lot more pronounced this time is to be a lot more pronounced this time is that I just seem to want things less that I just seem to want things less that I just seem to want things less it's like have less desire for the it's like have less desire for the it's like have less desire for the things that I don't really need things that I don't really need things that I don't really need I've been feeling that when I do II seem
07:00I've been feeling that when I do II seem I've been feeling that when I do II seem to be much more satisfied with very to be much more satisfied with very to be much more satisfied with very simple flavors or food staples usually I simple flavors or food staples usually I simple flavors or food staples usually I like to mix it up and cook a wider like to mix it up and cook a wider like to mix it up and cook a wider variety of dishes with a wider variety variety of dishes with a wider variety variety of dishes with a wider variety of intensive flavors and this is a of intensive flavors and this is a of intensive flavors and this is a course you know enjoyable and I will course you know enjoyable and I will course you know enjoyable and I will always enjoy it but recently I've been always enjoy it but recently I've been always enjoy it but recently I've been finding a lot of satisfaction in very finding a lot of satisfaction in very finding a lot of satisfaction in very simple foods you know fruits and simple foods you know fruits and simple foods you know fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds without vegetables and nuts and seeds without vegetables and nuts and seeds without going overboard on the seasoning and going overboard on the seasoning and going overboard on the seasoning and when I drink when I drink when I drink I've been usually completely happy with I've been usually completely happy with I've been usually completely happy with just like filtered water or a straight just like filtered water or a straight just like filtered water or a straight black coffee whereas usually I might get black coffee whereas usually I might get black coffee whereas usually I might get the odd craving for something a bit the odd craving for something a bit the odd craving for something a bit sweeter like a milky coffee or flavored sweeter like a milky coffee or flavored sweeter like a milky coffee or flavored water and this has been good because water and this has been good because water and this has been good because I've been trying to lose fat and lean I've been trying to lose fat and lean I've been trying to lose fat and lean out at the moment so the lowered calorie out at the moment so the lowered calorie out at the moment so the lowered calorie intake is getting me closer to my goals intake is getting me closer to my goals intake is getting me closer to my goals a lot faster another effect of being a a lot faster another effect of being a a lot faster another effect of being a few weeks or a few months into a streak
08:00few weeks or a few months into a streak few weeks or a few months into a streak is that I have less mental noise I've is that I have less mental noise I've is that I have less mental noise I've been lucky enough to have absorbed a few been lucky enough to have absorbed a few been lucky enough to have absorbed a few teachings over the years that have teachings over the years that have teachings over the years that have taught me to disidentify fundamental taught me to disidentify fundamental taught me to disidentify fundamental narrative so a lot of the time I'm not narrative so a lot of the time I'm not narrative so a lot of the time I'm not seeing the voice in the my head as me seeing the voice in the my head as me seeing the voice in the my head as me per se it's rather just an aspect of me per se it's rather just an aspect of me per se it's rather just an aspect of me and the root of my being is the one who and the root of my being is the one who and the root of my being is the one who observes it so being in that observer observes it so being in that observer observes it so being in that observer position a lot of the time has me position a lot of the time has me position a lot of the time has me noticed how active the voice in my head noticed how active the voice in my head noticed how active the voice in my head is and whilst being deeper into a streak is and whilst being deeper into a streak is and whilst being deeper into a streak of abstinence and whilst feeling of abstinence and whilst feeling of abstinence and whilst feeling balanced it seems to be a lot quieter balanced it seems to be a lot quieter balanced it seems to be a lot quieter and pulls me into stories a lot less so and pulls me into stories a lot less so and pulls me into stories a lot less so that's why some people who are into this that's why some people who are into this that's why some people who are into this talk about transcending the ego which talk about transcending the ego which talk about transcending the ego which means finding this is a catalyst to dis means finding this is a catalyst to dis means finding this is a catalyst to dis identifying from obsessive thinking and identifying from obsessive thinking and identifying from obsessive thinking and stepping into awareness and just one stepping into awareness and just one stepping into awareness and just one more thing I thought I'd see more of but
09:00more thing I thought I'd see more of but more thing I thought I'd see more of but I haven't yet and that is strength gains I haven't yet and that is strength gains I haven't yet and that is strength gains and extra energy at the gym now this and extra energy at the gym now this and extra energy at the gym now this could well be because I've been eating could well be because I've been eating could well be because I've been eating less less less maybe I just need a few more bananas maybe I just need a few more bananas maybe I just need a few more bananas before a workout but conversely I can't before a workout but conversely I can't before a workout but conversely I can't quite remember when the extra strength quite remember when the extra strength quite remember when the extra strength gains kicked in last time so I might gains kicked in last time so I might gains kicked in last time so I might just have to wait a few days or weeks just have to wait a few days or weeks just have to wait a few days or weeks for that to really happen and well I'm for that to really happen and well I'm for that to really happen and well I'm looking forward to it so now what do I looking forward to it so now what do I looking forward to it so now what do I expect in the coming weeks possibly more expect in the coming weeks possibly more expect in the coming weeks possibly more ups possibly more downs but overall I'm ups possibly more downs but overall I'm ups possibly more downs but overall I'm expecting to feel surges of energy and expecting to feel surges of energy and expecting to feel surges of energy and vitality when I was on my longest streak vitality when I was on my longest streak vitality when I was on my longest streak it's like all of that pleasure sensation it's like all of that pleasure sensation it's like all of that pleasure sensation that you'd usually experience and that you'd usually experience and that you'd usually experience and release during an orgasm seems to slowly release during an orgasm seems to slowly release during an orgasm seems to slowly seep out and manifest itself over a seep out and manifest itself over a seep out and manifest itself over a drawn-out period of time in just drawn-out period of time in just drawn-out period of time in just day-to-day experience and it's a really
