“A Better Life” all the time ,to prevent spamming and it seems to be working!!!… Lots of positive cals here i guess… I was wondering suppose we are always with ppl giving us possitive cals aren’t we loosing on Adventure part, the part where u go out of your confort zone, handle new ppl and situation? Im not sure but i think we should have a proper balance of Positive and neg cals… Like in case of chocos, in large quantities they wil cause health problems, but they also have their good side… Help release dopamine (makes u feel happy) ,coco as such improves resistance to certain desease… +/- come as a package… Its upto us , how we make use of these gained cals…

PS: I figured out the mice group who had been “left behind” will turn out less interactive, since they weren’t taught any kind of reaction. Pretty logical to me and not so surprising.

It’s the same with people: those who are loved or are aggressed develop a certain kind of response. Those who are not talked to or given any kind of feedback become sitting ducks.

All positive calories in this post. Up, up, up! The more posts, the better and merrier.

Now, for the feedback…

I believe that living on a positive diet or transforming the negative intake into something good is a PERMANENT challenge.

Let me give you an example: at one point, I based my soul-diet on a close relationship with God. Hence, the people I revolved around were mainly positive people and I was mainly shiny-happy.

Once I dropped out from the “+diet”, the ratio of people I came in contact with suddenly turned to “-” and I was getting more of the bad calories. Soon after, I started having physical-diet problems as well, headaches and all the things that come from eating and “eating” disorderly.

The point is I made a CHOICE to switch from one side to another, but I also make choices EVERYTIME i meet someone, talk to them or interact in any way, exchanging energy supplies.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Maybe not in terms of Psychological Calories, but surely in terms of +/- interaction, and sorting out people and situations that can impact +/- on my soul. Reading your post, I gained a whole new perspective on approaching things / people.

Thanks!
