📝 Article: The Price of Discipline
About teenage emotional struggles, distorted school systems, ADHD prescriptions and addictive coping mechanisms. Learn how the school system’s major objective is to mold you into conformity, not encourage you to become an independent being of free thought.
According to one Pew Research study, 70% of teens list “anxiety and depression” as a major problem in their local community. Another study found that half of PhD students experience psychological distress. All these emotional struggles lead to an overmedicated society.
🎬 YouTube Video: NoFap How To Get Back On Track
Motivational video for people on the path of reverting pornography addiction. Although the video is targeted specifically for people who messed up their cerebral dopamine reward system through abuse of pornography, it depicts a universal formula for any drawback in life. It was recommended to me from a friend who is challenged with an eating disorder.

🙏🏻 Gratitude Journal
One of the most powerful daily practices to liberate yourself from mental downward spirals is to bring the things to your attention that you are grateful for.
- I am grateful for the meaningful friendships in my life.
- Yesterday I went to the sauna and burned myself at the hot oven. I am grateful that my body sends me these signals of pain to help me make sense of the world around me.
- I am grateful for all the sunshine and the overall great weather this week.
What are you grateful for?
