Smoke weed, try shrooms. Expand your mind. I have heard DMT is good too!

"expand your mind!" (Only suggests drugs)
[–] i_am_not_crazy 3 points 7 points 10 points (+10|-3) ago
Yes I suggested trying drugs to expand your mind. Just like how some people have a drink "to relax". I am not advocating someone spend all their time and money getting high and becoming a drug addict.

that's one problem i have with some people who are very vocal about drugs(know some people personally who act this way too). They always say "be open minded" or "expand your mind" but ignore the evidence of negative of drugs and only focus on the "weed cures cancer" part :/

Looking back at my life, the time around when I did drugs (by NO means heavily), they were the LEAST productive, happy, memorable and enjoyable years. Easily. Without question.
While something to maybe try, if one has the desire, they are so far from being a Good answer to "how to appreciate what life has to offer" as to almost be laughable. Unfortunately, too many kids (people under 25) have no broader understanding and think it's Tony the Tiger.. GrrREEEAAT! I was one too, but age adds perspective.

I am not advocating drug use as a coping mechanism. I am suggesting that to expand your mind sometimes a substance can be used to do that, and there are many alternatives out there, however there are two that do occur naturally in this world and if consumed properly in a safe environment there is no denying that chemicals in the brains are doing something. Even pure MDMA is being used as a possible treatment for PTSD (in small dosages).

Learn mindfulness. Instead of going fast (gotta go fast) all the time, snoozing 25 times, running late, etc. Take time to just take a deep breath and enjoy where you are, focus on what you're doing, doing have the tv, computer, text going on all at the same time. Really, really taste and enjoy what you're eating. When you're out, look at the sky, look at the people around you, wonder about them. Just relax and enjoy~

Do what you want. It's easy to say, and difficult to do sometimes of course, but just do what you want to (within the boundaries of common sense) without worrying about what other people think. People lose so much time, so many experiences because we worry about what other people think, or will say, and it doesn't really make a difference in the end.
Do what you enjoy. What makes you happy.

Travel a lot. Talk to a lot of people of all ages and occupations and countries, and ask them about their lives and their aspirations. Read the classics in between. Do not watch television - it is a poison. Live in the present and enjoy what's happening NOW, not what was or what might be. Be physically active. Be nice to everyone, stay positive. Stay healthy to avoid the pain that comes with old age.
Breed, if you are that way inclined, but do a good job of it with all the generations down.

Take some time to relax. Sit down and enjoy a ham sandwich. No, seriously, enjoy the fuck outta that ham sandwich. Make it the best fucking ham sandwich in the history of ham sandwiches.
In other words: take time to enjoy the little things.
