I tell my students, how to enter my lecture: Have slept long and well, Eat well, drink water. If you‘re hungry, thirsty or tired, you can work on this while I talk. Even napping is ok. But don‘t fiddle with your non-smart-phone. If you‘re in the mood, interrupt me! Disturb if you‘re bored!

Where do you lecture?! I’d love to be able to attend!!

[@jensBendig]

I did lecture for the last 5 years in Emden. Not sure, what I‘ll do next. This is part of the daily „opener“. Sometimes I focus health, sometimes mental health or resilience, how to deal with rejection or bad payment, long term and short term aspects. The most important thing: Listen to you own thoughts, respect those and follow your misleading own Ideas into the dead end they guide you in. Then they will leave. That makes space free in your head for the great ideas of science and humanity. One word on self esteem: A student who works a little bit every day (after establishing his rhythm for that) produces success after success. That sums up to self esteem.

[@JackHaveman52]

I just can't eat breakfast when I first get up. I'm up between 6 and 7:30 every day and I usually have a glass of juice. However, by 9, I start getting the growlies and that's when I start on a big breakfast. I'm retired so I can do that but even when I was working, I'd have my big meal at morning break instead of at noon. It's 9:43, right now and I just finished 2 eggs, over easy, bacon, a piece of toast, home made hash browns, another glass of juice and I feel great. Gonna sit outside, under the big maple and do some reading with a cup of tea. Looks like it's going to be a wonderful day.

[@VarjoFilosofi]

I almost practically never eat breakfast. My body has long ago used to it that I'll eat earliest 4PM. It has no effect on my mental condition. I don't feel powerful hunger practically ever if I don't fast a long time. My body has learned to use the fat reserves which I have. This being said I'll eat fatty and protein heavy foods combined with vegetables unlike the women in the story. I would probably go insane with only rice.

You can access so much knowledge on the internet, even swift through so much of it until you commit to something. A pletora of hobbies and/or content helpful to hobbies abailable for you online. I wonder what being retired was like 40-50 years ago. I'm 25, I'm already looking forward to what I'll do in retirement. I love learning languages, so perhaps I'll spend a lot of time talking to online friends from different countries, exchanging languages. I'm happy to see so much older folk online. Everywhere there is older folk encouraging us younger people that it's never too late to do what you want to do. I also am very much looking forward to how my views will change in 20 years, in 40 years...

I can attest from experience that having a well balanced diet with all the necessary nutrients has huge emotional benefits. So many of us are well-fed yet mal-nourished.

[@alissa2222]

Lol not true, especially for women. That's horrible advice. A moderately low-fat, vegan diet is possibly the best diet one can follow. It is aligned with our physiological and biological needs. Consuming a high fat diet as a woman especially can cause a plethora of hormonal problems, by increasing the amount of estrogen that is produced in a female's body. This can cause painful menstrual cycles, severe PMS symptoms and can even result in disease, especially if there is a lack of fiber in one's diet. Peterson does not seem to be aware of how dangerous his advice is for the long-run. Many naïve people are going to listen to his flawed words and go on with his ideas, and actually see that they feel better. However, the only reason why they actually might feel better is because fat is higher in calories per gram than carbs, which means that those people will actually get the caloric density that they need, rather than when they ate NOTHING at all for breakfast or a 100 calorie bowl of oats. Fat and protein are indeed essential macro-nutrients, but carbs are much more important to the human body as every single cell in our body runs on carbohydrates.

Worked that shift for years. Although I couldn't eat when I first got up, I'd take a lunch box, filled with good food, to work everyday and I'd eat all of it. I'd be starving come first break sometime between 9 and 10 (I worked 7 to 7). I'd have a good meal when I got home whether it be 7 in the morning or at night. On my days off, I'd make a big pot of homemade soups, stews, pasta sauces or potato or pasta salads, to last me through the days that I worked. You gotta eat, especially when you're forced into working those types of shifts.

I was pretty much tired after every day of work for the past 2 years. I looked at what I was eating in the morning at the time basically porridge, bread and fruits. I ate big lunch filled with protein in the middle of the work day, but still after 4 hours I was getting really sleepy every time. I was quite frustrated towards everything that was going on back in the home that time. Then I read somewhere that you should eat very fat based and high protein food in the morning and that "should" fix my problem of being tired after each work day. I tried it for a month. I started eating every day piece of Rye bread and an fried egg. I've been doing this for the past 2 years now from that point onward and it has totally changed my energy levels. Other total change I made is that I eat every 4 hours even when Im not hungry. I have to admit that changing the breakfast type has really helped me a lot in other ways as well. Please go try it!

Adenosine is released after a large caloric intake. Makes you sleepy, I eat my largest, often only meal of the day before bed, the evening. Fasting is not for everyone but some sort of it may be helpful, at least worth a try. Athletes, before the bike marathon/swimming etc, carbo load at night before bed. In the morning they go in light, no breakfast. It can weigh you done, or feel like it. My b-fasts are typically not massive when I do have them but some do well with the reverse. Fasting is not for everyone but Ive found it prove quite useful. 24hr fasts are now unmindfully done by myself. Look to apex predators, those like tigers and their eating schedules. They wake, they hunt, they kill if so lucky, they eat ravenously, often fall asleep afterwards. Breakfast may be vital to you. Experiment, not wildly but bit by bit to see if it gets better.

Most if not many of us signing up to Peterson's talks don't lead "cataclysmically horrible" lives. We want better ones. Because we are enlightened to believe that er can. Hint hint. We have resources. A lot of it is life skills and behaviors. Not to be unsympathetic but there is value in realizing the privelage (overused word but sorry it's apropos here) and agency, of *choice* for this population (that follows Peterson). One thing I disagree with, people don't become suicidal because of serotonin imbalance. It's a component of a larger crisis in identity in meaning.

never skip breakfast: grab a bowl, milk, oats, done. no excuses

[@leonodonoghueburke4276]

People used to watch Jordan Peterson fans cream themselves over his scripture and joke that he could talk about a balanced breakfast and have people treat it like Moses discovering the ten commandments. Reading this comment section was not as funny as I thought it would be

Therapists are too expensive that's why I am here lol

I have bipolar

[@Green7JR]

How are you doing MTrayy? Same. Meditation is life saving. I'd have been hospitalized by now without it.

@@Green7JR I'm doing good bro bro. Thank you for asking. I recently quit my job at a pizza place because I was walking 5 miles for a 5 hr shift, only making 10 an hr. I was interviewed today for a bk that is right up the block.. and.. I GOT THE JOB! this pay is only 9 an hr. But I'll get more hrs and it's less than a mile up the road. How are you?🙂

[@Green7JR]

NIIICE bro. I'm alright. I've found my purpose (writing) which is never fleeting and I drive Uber Eats and Door Dash. I manage my BD by good sleep. With a regular job, my sleep schedule would be set. Sometimes I get hypomanic/manic and can't adhere to a set sleep schedule. That's good to hear.

[@Green7JR]

@@MTrayy Oh nice. I see you have are pretty active on KZbin. Are you a creative that's trying to make it as well? I'm no gamer though

[@MTrayy]

@@Green7JR I also enjoy writing. I journal daily. I write raps too. I'm dreaming big. I know it's not likely but just the thought of living my life as a rapper/ musician puts me into a state of bliss.

Google algorithm naaailing it!!!

[@isaacnoneyabizz9630]

Why are they asking a volatile man, how to not be volatile and emotional. There's a limit to how logical one must be, too logical and you may as well be a robot. Too emotional and you become irrational. This man is not a good balance of either.

Look at AI, the meat industry, slavery, and pollution. But I’m supposed to be “level headed”?!!!
