    Yesterday I squatted half my bodyweight for the first time. For reps. :smile: If you know me, you'll know that's not a lot. But if you know me, you'll also know that's quite a lot for me! H/t @Strategery for training me

    Oh there is a line for sure, beyond which the "loving yourself" part of the equation prevents you from interacting much or at all. Unless they change of course, then the equation changes. But yes, sometimes "loving them" means just letting them go live their life (whilst extracting yourself from...

    I am so sorry you're having to deal with that. One approach that might work for you: Remember you have only one job here, & that job is to love them. Obviously the best way you can do that is what you've already done, & try & facilitate some healing - for that is surely the best outcome - but...

    Supplement with New & Unique Formulation - Specific Questions

    Alas I can't help you much with the specifics here, as it's outside my area, but I can affirm you're on the right track with your thinking that it's worthwhile to be "second to market". I've dealt with some "first" or "early" to market situations, & consumer education can be an uphill battle...

    R&D Tax Credits

    TAXES | REGS 
    I may as well mention here that there's government R&D schemes in the UK too. Again, you don't have to be in pharma or whatever - I've worked for tech startups making apps/platforms that have applied successfully, including for work that was subcontracted. And depending on things, you can get...

    I rarely drink caffeine (never liked tea or coffee, only occasionally drink coke) so one evening when I had a few too many colas (& not as an alcoholic mixer) over a few hours (maybe like 3 drinks lol) I started feeling super jittery, heart pounding, I think even my hands shook. It was horrible...

    Working for income VS Working for net worth.

    Thanks for a great post! One thing I'm super grateful for about spending large chunks of time as a "starving artist" is that it definitely improved my (already existing thankfully) ability to live on less, without drastically compromising on quality of life. I always find a deal. It can lead...

    Welcome! There are a few doctors/medical folks floating around this forum, so you're not alone. Congrats on accepting a shift in thinking pattern!

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Eurgh, have had trouble focusing all this week. My mind would get lost in thought too easily, & try & trick me into forgetting to refocus, or persuade me that I was just passively watching the thoughts, & therefore they were definitely allowed to continue, & I wasn't just sneakily chowing down...

    Introduction and my story (...MJ asked for it...)

    INTRO 
    No? Not an option?! :happy: Here's another suggestion - connecting academic research papers with the businesses that could use their findings to make money. Sure, universities often have licensing departments now, but you can't tell me that's a completely efficient market. Besides, looking at...

    How should you entice employees to a startup when you can't pay them?

    PEOPLE 
    I've worked in a few tech start-ups in my time. One got development work done in return for equity. Sometimes this is easier done with a dev company/agency, because the owner will know how much downtime their employees have (not assigned to fee-paying work) and if they're still being paid a...

    This is what I've been doing a lot of! :smile: If I've been trying to observe my thoughts at the "middle distance" but been getting too involved, I revert back to counting. Though in 1 out 1, in 2, out 2 - so I count each whole breath cycle - just makes sense for me ! There've been moments...

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I've been doing of these meditations at night. I just don't have time in the morning, & it's a nice wind down before sleep. It's only really been risky for me if I've pushed it too late, so I'm meditating past what should be my bed time. I feel like first thing in the morning would be more...

    Ok, so I've been doing a mix of bringing-my-mind-back-to-my-breath/gently-releasing-thoughts/using-a-mantra-or-counting & that's cool & all, but I've also been trying to try out what has been mentioned on this thread where you actually let the thoughts run on as they wish, but observe yourself...
