RE: Tired of Making Poor Decisions? A Framework For Decision Making to Create a Better Life (Step 1: What Do We Have)

Holy Mary and all her angels! I bet with that kind of fast you don't even need psychedelics!

Have you ever tried an intentional fast?

Does playing computer games so addictively that you skip meals count?

Sort:  

Haha, on a lot of levels you can do similar work with fasting as with psychedelics. Different teachers :)

The key to both is intentionality. Skipping meals while gaming (definitely an old pass time) brings some of the physiological benefits of fasting, but not so much the psychological :)

But, 3 days minimum is required for many physiological benefits. So, unless you were gaming for 3 days ;) However, if you were also going without sleep and overworking your mind it could have negated some benefits...

More research required!
