By / / Personal Blog / Training, Life & Opinions / 3 minutes of reading

In my last update, I had just started ‘working’ again in a very limited capacity. I do have access to an office landscape, where I challenge my oversensitivity to external stimulation twice a week (sensitivity to motion, sounds, interactions, flickering lights, etcetera.).

Therefore, because my body fat was so low, I only did a 72-hour dry fast this time (I would have loved a 72 with 6-hours rehydration and then another 48 hours or more). I’m now 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs) heavier than

Acceptance, followed and surpassed only by praise, are two of the most addictive and potentially destructive ‘drugs’ around. The great majority of us are already under their spell – just look at social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram and the continuous hunt for likes, comments, praise and acceptance.
