The symptoms of psychosis and schizophrenia are usually divided into 'positive symptoms', including hallucinations (perception in the absence of any stimulus) and delusions (fixed or falsely held beliefs), and 'negative symptoms' (such as emotional apathy, lack of drive, poverty of speech, social withdrawal and self-neglect). Each person will have a unique combination of symptoms and experiences.

No one study has unequivocally proven that a vegan diet will enhance athletic performance—but a handful of science-backed reasons could explain why plant-based foods might boost your game. “Elite-level training creates an enormous amount of oxidative damage,” says Desiree Nielsen, RD, a cookbook author and registered dietitian specializing in plant-based nutrition. “Athletes will wake up in the morning almost feeling like they have a hangover because there is so much inflammation from yesterday’s pursuits.” A vegan diet could help to stymie that inflammation

Why do spiritual people value death over birth? Birth is the one event in life over which we have absolutely no control. We pop out of our mothers’ bodies without having been consulted about anything. We have no say about where we are born, who our parents are, the day and hour of our birth, or if we should be born in the first place. Every aspect is out of our hands

According to buddhadharma, death teaches us one extremely positive truth: that the nature of each and every sentient being’s mind is the Buddha. In other words, the nature of my mind and the nature of your mind is the Buddha

ARE U WTH ME OR ARE U WTH ME - TKYO WICE

The gross human mind thinks of death as the final separation of body from mind. A more precise description is that death marks the end of a period of time. We therefore experience a continuous stream of deaths throughout our so-called lives. The death of death is birth; the death of birth is abiding; the death of abiding is the birth of death. Everything we experience is simultaneously a death and a birth; if we are subject to the phenomenon called “time,” we are also subject to death.

HEDONIC V EUDAIMONIC
A
TWO KINDS OF HAPPINESS Philosophers, spiritual teachers, and scientists have identified two forms of well-being: hedonic and eudaimonic. Hedonic well-being, what we often call “happiness,” is transitory and characterized by attaining pleasure and avoiding pain, whereas eudaimonic well-being focuses more on meaning, realizing one’s potential, and contributing to one’s community, and, ultimately, is longer lasting. The debate over which of these two kinds of well-being makes for a truly happy life has raged for centuries. In ancient Greece, the philosopher Aristippus taught that the goal of life is to experience the maximum amount of pleasure, and that happiness is the totality of one’s moments of pleasure, while Aristotle argued that wellbeing is to be found in doing what is truly worth doing. Although these two kinds of happiness are related and often overlap, they can differ sharply and their differences have profound implications for our behavior, relationships, physical health, and our longevity

In terms of its etymology, eudaimonia is an abstract noun derived from the words eû ('good, well') and daímōn ('dispenser, tutelary deity'), the latter referring maybe to a minor deity or a guardian spirit

INCENTIVE SALIENCE
A
A human brain, operating at a greater degree of complexity, tries to figure out the pattern that governs the variable rewards. The brain of a compulsive gambler releases dopamine, a reward chemical, to motivate the gambler to pay attention to the seemingly causal connection between pulling the lever and winning the jackpot. Near misses, such as two cherries but not three, deepen the compulsion to keep playing. The apparent causal connection forms between the motivation to seek reward and the deployment of our attention. This is called incentive salience, and it creates a pattern of activation in the brain that resembles drug addiction, binge eating, and other compulsive habits.

Don’t get me wrong, experiencing the unpleasant physical sensations of your habitual negative rumination is highly uncomfortable. It can be excruciating and make us want to run for the hills, or regress to our old coping mechanisms. It is a monumental task that requires tremendous discipline and support. For those who are negatively affected by systemic oppression on a societal level, the task of liberating the mind from habitual fear can feel all the more like swimming against the current, because powerful and often violent forces of prejudice are mustered against their sense of individual sovereignty.
