👓 What’s New?

During July, I focused on reflections on spiritual needs and thoughts of running away from urban life. While deeply interested in improving my cooking and nutrition. Meanwhile, I had a few memories come up relating to dating. Finally, I found myself attending to my mind. Let’s head over to the resonator.

Watch me summarize the above paragraph, it’s hilarious!

🔔 What is Resonating?

For July, I included a few unfinished input notes with a high rating of 6 Vye’s! Of such intensity, How to Start a small farm caught my eye because it had the word small. I wanted to see how much work it would take to make a living. What impressed me was that he made his merchant, forum, and music and even wrote a book. He has a whole community over at No-Till Growers (notillgrowers.com).

Meanwhile, YouTube had suggested I check out How to Start a Farm From Scratch from The Dutch Farmer. It caught my eye because I’m searching for new beginnings. During the presentation, I loved that he showed the value of researching the demand for farmers while attending the markets and stores.

Moving slightly away from farming life, I had some trouble with my weight and needed assistance from 👤 Dr. Berg. He had directed me to watch Keto Diet For Beginners How To Start. I was concerned about overeating fiber and how to do it without getting blocked up. 7-10 cups of veggies first. Later I discovered that I could measure out the grams in lettuce to that 7-11 cups, which is around 6 grams of carbs. Then I can do a similar plan for other veggies. Although, I’m not quite sure how the nutrient per carb pans out. I was curious about which carbs are safe for Keto. He said to cut out apples and other fruits but bring in strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

Then I questioned what kind of protein gives the best fat. Later to learn that none lean ground beef with 3-8 oz. has good fat. What are examples of lean protein? In the video, he explains that protein powders are not fat-rich. 

Somewhat related, I stumbled on the saying.

Chickens are great for laying eggs, but not for fat. 

I heard that in the discord community Home – ChatKeto.com and thought it was hilarious!

Meanwhile, I couldn’t help but ask what fat I should avoid. During the presentation, the doctor mentioned that soy, corn, and canola oil can cause inflammation. Moving forward, let’s see what’s growing.

🌻 What’s Growing?

For July, I will choose a sprouting topic that needs to be elaborated upon further. I met a woman, Anna, on a dating app. She told me that her father passed away, and she cared for her mom. After paying a filing fee, she claims she owns a franchised studio in Boston. The company is Harper’s bazaar design. Later on, I set up a meeting to confirm my suspicions. The meeting was called 🗣 Question for Anna’s background. I was planning to ask her the following questions throughout my chit-chat.

• Anna, what is the location of your design studio? 
• What is the LLC name?
• How come the phone sound isn’t clear?

Once we video chatted, I decided to move forward with 🗣 Closing out with Anna. After the talk, I planned to close the relationship because I felt fear. I had these ideas because she wasn’t on her cell phone. She called me on PC after she claimed she had a sim card. Meanwhile, I asked her to turn her face and noticed all the filters. After asking her to turn them off, she ignored me and kept talking. Anyway, I wrote her back the following letter.

Hey Anna, I prefer to be distant friends at this point. I thought about our conversation yesterday. In my opinion, since we couldn’t compromise. I don’t want any trouble or end up in the hospital again. In my life, I hadn’t had a successful relationship with a rooster or dragon. You mentioned you had a good family, and they teach you how to be a good person. Please continue on your path, and you will find success. Be well 🙏

I could have done better; feel free to add your thoughts. If not, let’s see what’s going on in mental nourishment.

🥑 Mental Nourishment

Throughout July, I had many thoughts focused on the mind, higher power, and Buddhism. Of such interest, 💭 belief in an eternal god is nothing but a distraction for humans seeking enlightenment. I remember feeling Inspired and robust because I searched on the internet for Buddhism and believing in God. Then I read worshiping God could be a distraction, and in the books by 👤 Ven Pyinnyathiha Monk. I should focus on meditation and gaining insight. As a result, I felt more vital that I didn’t need to depend on somebody other than my internal self. Belief in self leads me to learn I can use a promise cos it relates to my recovery. I don’t need to seek an outside source to feel good about what I have inside. Promise One states:

I know a new sense of belonging. The feeling of emptiness and loneliness will disappear.

Finally, I plan to continue 💭 Mahasi Vipassana Meditation. I had many other thoughts; that insight keeps me focused; feel free to let me know your thoughts. Otherwise, let’s keep on trucking to the stream of consciousness.

🚿 Stream of Consciousness

My mind is thinking about the fear of losing weight, being fully present, and living spiritually. I have learned a vast amount about nutrition, Keto, and fasting, but I need help figuring out how to get my weight above 136. I’m currently sitting at 124-128 lb. Which is about 6-8 points to underweight. I got myself a dietitian to fill in the gaps.
Meanwhile, on my own, I’m fasting and including around 130 carbs daily. I had tried 120 grams of fat, but my pancreas didn’t like it and flared up. The turning point was when I had 30 grams of lard. Recently, I encountered the artichoke, and I hear it helps with Bile production. Which in turn will aid in fat processing. As soon as I regain my weight, I will try to return to Keto, maintaining a lifestyle. Well, that’s it for July; feel free to share your ideas or if you have something on your soul.

✨AI Assistant

Had told me I need to work on the following. What do you all think?

The content covers a wide range of topics, from dietary preferences in romantic relationships to Buddhism and healthy living. The personal anecdotes and experiences add a personal touch, making it engaging. One improvement could be to provide more structure and organization to the content, especially in the “What’s Growing?” and “Mental Nourishment” sections. This could be done by dividing the information into clear subheadings or bullet points. Additionally, consider including more sources or references to support the ideas and claims mentioned. Overall, the blog post provides valuable insights and experiences, but enhancing the structure and adding sources would make it even more informative.
