I haven't commented in a while, so I figured I would leave one this time while reading. What a solid Huberman Lab Essentials episode! Never underestimate the power of any of our senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, balance, proprioception, and interoception. These senses are essential for optimal health, as they help us navigate and interact with our environment, enhance our experiences, and maintain our well-being. They allow us to detect danger, enjoy food, communicate effectively, and understand our body's needs, ultimately contributing to a balanced and fulfilling life.

Answer 6

In this life, we need not just materialism; we require strategic, perspective-deep thinking with exploration. The fundamental question arises: are we here merely to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves (then where is the difference from animals)? Here lies the serious question and absolute truth: why are we here, and what does the Creator (Allah) want from us? Such profound knowledge, in words of the God thus in Quran.

When I was on my journey to limit my coffee consumption to one cup a day, your tip about "alertness" and smelling peppermint, in my case it was high quality peppermint essential oil, really helped me in situations when usually I would reach for a cup of coffee.

Yesterday I went to the butchery to get groceries, but there were so many people in line in that rather small business, there was a terrible smell of unwashed humans. I had to leave. No barbecue for Labor's Day for me.

Here's a wonderful easy and thoughtful test we women can do on the men we are dating. Ask him what scents his mom wore (baby powder deodorant, floral vs musk, etc) and slyly add it into your moments with him. Over a few weeks you will see how he treats you. If it differs greatly then beforehand or too many weird things happen you will know sooner than he may ever admit out loud: Mommy Issues. Run!♀️
