*tips hat & bows*
But I'm no @AnonymousAnnaXOXO Lol

 

Apologies, but this made me LOL.

 

Me too!

 

Me three!!! I remember reading it some time ago and imagining the M-muscles deteriorating

 

Meanwhile, I'm over here like:

 

First: Im not sure where to put something 20% bigger. LOL

I had this happen to me to. My wife says I used to be more laid back, but i was dealing with painful thoughts through p&m. Once I stopped, I had strong feelings I didn't know how to deal with. My wife said I was acting crazy. I'm just now getting good enough at self care to handle feelings without melting down.

 

Yes, exactly. I think he has rarely, or even never, really felt his feelings. Now, that the distraction mechanisms are, for the most part, gone, he is totally overwhelmed by them.

Yesterday we talked about mindfulness. He is all about *brainfulness* instead. I saw a book recommendation on this forum and started reading it myself yesterday:
Buddha's Book of Meditation Deluxe: Mindfulness Practices for a Quieter Mind, Self-Awareness, and Healthy Living
by Joseph Emet
This is so important for all of us to get our thoughts and emotions under some kind of calmness and control.

 

I'm glad to hear everyone got a good giggle.
Truth is... I Love forearms on guys.
I've always noticed them. (now I'm a little less... Because well, what else am. I suppose to think? Correlation wise?)
And now that I think about it... It probably was all the Popeye I watched growing up... So, thanks @SuperFan... For that.
It was one of the things I did notice.
I also noticed how difficult a time he had mashing the patatoes at Thanksgiving.
And at least I know he's definitely not using those muscles, lol, am I right?
So, I guess... It's the little things that go along way.... Especially since he does a manual labor job and works his ass off... Like, dude... How much did you Really contribute that to that that's not from work?
It's honestly interesting.
Truly.

 

All this time we thought it was spinach ... turns out Popeye was just PMO'ing all those years. Gotta give him credit for having the discipline to use both arms.

 

Makes sense to me...
But now I will notice this... Thanks guys!

 

@Orlando Aponte

Keep him going! =)
All the best to the two of you!
