AI On Bing Vs. Me: Stoicism

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

AI: That’s a good question. I think it depends on how you define a lifestyle and something more. For some people, Stoicism is just a set of tools and techniques that they use to cope with life’s challenges and improve their well-being. For others, Stoicism is a way of life that shapes their values, beliefs, and actions. For some, Stoicism is even a spiritual path that connects them with the divine reason or logos that governs the universe.

What do you think? How do you see Stoicism in your life?

Me: It is about Cicero, On Living and Dying Well. I referred to a big piece of it in my last blog entry on Michael’s Space. “Grab Hold Of Yourself And Stop Being Afraid Of Your Freedom”. My blog will continue to have elements in future blog posts. But first, do no harm to myself and others. And remember this is about being and doing.

Here again, he taught us mindfulness.

Here he found his compassion to share the world.

Why Prevent Disease?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Some would argue, we have done all we can with traditional medicine and prevention is the next best thing.

Preventative Medicine?

I believe the progenitor of all ways are the pursuit of prevention through philosophy, belief, and imagination or curiosity.

We understand through the senses, primarily sight.

We cure or prevent through thinking outside the box.

The way we do this is through belief.

The best way to believe is to theorize and practice or experiment on yourself in a way that does no harm.

Become your healthspan.

Prevent disease before it happens to you or just live a healthy life.

Pursue health wealth and well being through the senses.

Find what works for you and do it.

This all sounds rather childish without a blueprint to follow.

A good life is the practice of what works for you while doing the least amount of harm to yourself and others.

Examine or get to know yourself.

Find out what you are doing that is self destructive to you and others.

Make a sincere effort to turn those bad habits around.

While you do all the above, keep looking for what works for you and do it.

You will prevent problems in your lifestyle and Improve your healthspan.

Humour yourself and try to do it for a few weeks, reassess and convince yourself to do it again.

If you need some encouragement to continue, come back here and look for some or look somewhere you can find it and do it for another few week. Keep building this habit until it becomes a lifelong habit passion, healthspan!

The Progenator’s Movement

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

As a individual, I am a movement of one.

This truth may sound self-evident.

But a progenetor does not write it down.

He lives it. They live it. She lives it, We live it.

Is there a foundation to be a world citizen.

There is a world. I am a citizen.

How can I say anything about the start of belief to end bad habits and start good habits.

This is foundational and people are doing it.

We are doing it.

Can you reduce suffering and feel the progress for yourself?

Do you spend the resources to feel your pain and suffering or do you medicate yourself to avoid your pain and suffering?

If you do, are your learning to change your ways?

When you come out of poverty, come out of your fear, feel your feeling, critically think and think outside the box, and find a way that works for you?

Is it cruel the way we treat other life forms and why?

Is it helpful to solve the cruel way we treat ourselves ?

For example, am I being moral when I treat myself cruelly?

It seems that nutrition, in the form a ketoogenic treatment is helpful for many medical problems.

If only more work could be done in research and development in this area.

There are a lot of data used to show the positive impact of the ketogenic diet on many people.

Health And Wellness

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Happy New Year, it is time to start out the year with the end in mind.

What do you want to work at through the whole year?

It may be worth your effort to poke at improving your health and wellness.

It is never too early or late to learn about what works and how to apply it to your own personal health and wellness.

There are so many areas that can help you on your way to improving your own situation.

Why not look at some of the big ideas on your favorite apps or websites.

Just plug in a few buzz words like ‘ketogenic nutrition’, health and wellness, sleep or exercise.

And think of it as awareness or a start towards getting more involved with your own journey towards a better year.

One vid I have recently viewed is on the topic above called ketogenic nutrition.

It is about an hour long and I recommend watching it in two half hour views.

It is a lot dry, but the speaker is personally involved and walks his talk.

He is will informed and wants to convince people the value of eating well to gain healthy outcomes.

It requires a small commitment of time and efford and may lead to better habits.

Practical Stoicism

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Beware your passion or use a little common sense when you act on the following convictions.

Use a page worth on each journal entry.

The idea is to think about what you may want to practice.

Get up! Or get at it. Do it. Be here and do it now.

It is all about character and virtue or doing it right.

Epictetus, Discourses 1.2

Of one thing beware, O man: see what is the price at which you sell your will. If you do nothing else, do not sell your will cheap.

Work on your virtues or character. What do you value. What is important to you?

Assess the way you do your life. Think about your own stuff.

The Addictive Quality of The ‘Sweet Life’

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

A simple life preserves the self-control a healthy brain affords the body and therefore the brain.

Lifestyle and addiction may not appear to be bedfellows on first glance.

We have all been exposed to the problems with the western or modern diet or the pitfalls of being overweight and eating too much sugar each meal.

Our lack of simplicity leads to overuse or addiction to many things in todays world.

An experiment in using the simple life has brought me a personal experience with the richness in living a simple way.

I experience better control over my appetite for people, things and places when I eliminate sugar from my diet for 30 days.

I experience self control which allows me to decide what to stop and what to act on in my life.

I like to read, write and study.

I do this to experience self control and satiate my natural curiosity.

As a consequence I experience a simple life that give me more compassion, patience and simplicity which seems to provide a life that is more peaceful, manageable and cooperates with society.

Education is key. Please support the effort and watch the vid bellow.
