How to Meditate
I’m not an expert at all, but I think mindful meditation kind of goes like this: Decide on a phrase that you can repeat in your head. Sit down somewhere, repeat phrase and focus on either the phrase or your breathing. Every time your attention strays from breathing or mantra/phrase, bring your attention back to…

The Hulk Hogan Principle
Also known as the Chuck Norris Rule, or the cain velasquez regulation. The concept goes like this: Treat everyone like he or she is Hulk Hogan. For example, if someone accidentally knocks into you in the pub, and makes you spill your pint, don’t get all aggressive and confrontational, treat said person the same as you…

Nootropics – Acetyl-L-Carninite & phosphatidylserine
I started to take 500mg of Acetyl-L-Carninite at the weekend, with 300mg of phosphatidylserine – I also started drinking yerba mate tea.

Apparently because our parents went mental with…

Sinusitis – What an absolute bastard
Since I can remember, I’ve always had asthma, always been allergic to pretty much everything. I specifically remember always needing a tissue too, because I always had a snotty beak. Basically I have an over-active immune system. The primary immune response is to produce histamine, which in turn produces swelling and snot and stuff.…
