It really comes down to politics. Brazil as many other countries around the world got divided between two sides and the opinions follow along. People will either say the country is much better or that it went downhill, depending on what side they're gonna vote in three months.

The second verse always hits me hard when Nick sings "I must remove your wings and you must try to fly"

There's this scene that I love on the movie Contact where Jodie Foster is asked what single question she'd do to an evolved alien being, to which she replies how did they manage to survive technological adolescence. Well we are in a point in time where we're being bombarded by algorithms, AI...

hahaha I'd totally forgot about this song, it was such a hit. But yeah, it was unusual for an Axé group to tackle such theme. Usually it would be about, well, you know what... This by the way links to the conversation about the mixing of cultures. If you go to Bahia state it's virtually...

That's true, the mix of different cultures here in São Paulo is amazing. There's always something different popping up. Last weekend I was taking my dog to the park, met some friends who said they were going to an event but didn't know each one, since a lot was happening downtown. But even so I...

@Sita is right, this is happening everywhere. Spain for example has become the favorite destiny for retired rich people, as a number of their cities have ranked up as best places to live, which elevated the cost of everything, expelling the locals. Gentrification has been an issue all around the...

Hi Filipe, hope you're getting better. First, Adam already said it but the problem is not rage. Rage is a burst of repressed anger, it's kind of a desperate measure. In your posts you've been referring to the things that cause you this feeling and sometimes you talk about deep issues (like...

Warren, I'm glad to hear this video helped you. This guy has a very empathetic approach, less dogmatic and more focused on the human side of recovery. My symptoms are somewhat similar to yours. I had herniated disc surgery a couple of years ago, and the backpain spread after that. Leg pain and...

This experience... well I have it all the time, but as frustrating it is, the symptoms shouldn't be used as metric. We have this nervous system who takes any excuse to signal danger, good or bad. There's this discussion here about who can heal and who can't. If you think about, the same...

Same. I use journaling more as a tool to organize my thoughts when they're all over the place. Angry journaling usually doesn't work well for me. "Paying attention to energy" for me is like when I have a bad thought I pay attention to what changed in my body. Usually there's some sort of heat...

Yeah there's this threshold between healthy processing anger, and getting into the angry rumination, and it's hard to tell which is which. It takes practice, and even so, it might get hard sometimes (mostly because pain is frustrating by itself and adds to the mix). I like, when it's time to...

Well, I think there needs to be a distinction here between using the device for work/study (or even entertainment like watching a movie) and using it for social media addiction and doomscrolling. But not to sidetrack and keep the conversation on the loneliness problem of smartphone addiction...

You do know Portuguese companies are in an intense search for foreign specialized workforce, right? (IT, engineering etc.) Also, smartphone addiction is everywhere, it's not generational anymore. I forgot the name of this great English urban photographer who retired, and when asked why, he...

What I see from time to time is people who don't like PRT oversimplifying it and claiming it follows an opposite way of what's been proved to work. I personally find this conversation really boring so usually don't take part in it. But you're right, a quick Gordon search on YouTube will show...

From what I've seen and read in this space, there's been a change in the view about our relation to symptoms. It used to be about how we can reduce symptoms by communicating safety. Now it's more about how there's a neuroplastic structure to it and the need for a strategy for the long run...
