    This is very general, but I'm learning discipline. It started from a weight loss standpoint, but it's slowly spilling into other areas of my life. It's really tough because it's contrary to how I've lived the last 30 some years, but my chaos is gaining some order. :)

    That the universe has countless secrets waiting to be discovered and rediscovered

    Universe universe or universe creator or universe something else?

    We are a conscious part of the universe . When we explore , gain knowledge etc we are learning about ourselves .
    We are the eyes of the universe looking back at itself .

    So the matter that we release, when understanding is met, is emitted into the universe and then sort of recycled back. Right? Kinda like death?

    I'm learning that if I laugh when my son (18 months) falls down or throws a temper tantrum, he eventually starts laughing, too... and it cuts the tears and tantrums short.

    I've learned that sometimes when people reach out for help, they don't really want your help. They actually just want your attention and your false words. I say false words because they don't want to hear what you really have to say to help them, if it's not what they want to hear. They want you to smile, nod, agree, commiserate and say you poor baby. They don't want help but they do want you to enable them with their misery. Idk. Maybe they want your permission for them to stay miserable? An "awww, life is so hard, you just keep on doing what you're doing to be miserable because it's easier for you, there there now, it's just too hard to make a change" kind of statement. Anyways I've learned there are a lot of people like that so it can be hard to know if someone truly does want help sometimes.

    I've spent the last year learning this from two separate incidents with others. In both cases, they were more interested in "playing the victim" and were unable or unwilling to change anything about themselves or their circumstances to change things they didn't like.

    I put up with one of the two for ten years and just couldn't do it anymore. And yes, it does make it hard to perceive when someone you know is genuinely "in need" and asking for legitimate help. It also does not help those of us out who already have an extremely hard time asking for any sort of assistance in the first place.

    As to what I've been learning lately??

    I've really learned through being here day in and day out since January that while it may seem like weight loss is easy for some, it really is about a lot of hard work and constant determination.. both of which I lack, horribly. I can lose through monitoring my intake, but it seems to stall a lot more than it does for normal people, which is.. frustrating, to say the least.

    "The only failed workout is the workout you didn't do!"

    This has helped me get to the gym even on days I'm tired. Even if my performance isn't the best, I wouldn't have made any progress if I'd stayed home!

    Been learning more about how my body deals with sugars/carbs/fats/proteins versus normal people. My metabolism is crazy all over the place and hard to track.

    I have been learning that due to me being the only one in the office with qualifications to provide advice, I am the one that's lumped with all the jobs dealing with clients when the boss is away, and I'm not paid enough to deal with this shite

    I am trying to learn to live in the moment and be fully present in what I am doing at that moment rather than thinking/planning what needs to be done next hour/day/week, etc.
    It's not easy for me to do

    I am learning, training myself, to have better communication with people. Sometimes I say the wrong thing or in a very confusing (awkward) manner. Takes my forever to find the right words.

    about my true self. and quite frankly, it's exhausting. i'm over-analyzing, and need to bring in meditation to lose the judgements.

    I'm beginning to think so too. When I'm there it seems like here doesn't exist. Vice versa. Reality must then be where we are present?
