Stockholm syndrome: coping mechanism...positive feelings towards captors

@cornfed2k Well said, it’s veggie hummus. Counterintuitively, most ppl can’t eat all the food in the Blueprint caloric restricted diet. It’s too much volume which positively addresses hunger for many. They’re eating fewer calories and feeling more full. Plus ~10x the fiber as ave American

@CamdenKross No background ruminations of this or that; unadulterated, free willing play

ok cool, there are at least a few of us. I'll go:

parks represent free form play to me. whimsical, adventure, openness, and fun with others. tag. kick the can. picnics. safely insulated by big and wise trees. today going to live life as though it were a park.

An experiment: daily I'll share a word prompt, i.e. park

In response, we contribute: day intentions, imaginations, forgiveness, memories, compassion, kindness, humor, encouragement, questions on mind, etc.

An energizing & fun daily group huddle

wdyt?
