ToughTate You wouldn't happen to be a taoist would you Pose123? Much of this 'philosophy' is based upon letting go and letting the eternal tao lead the way. I really agree that this is the best way for me to live my life because it makes me feel whole all the time...

ToughTate I do love veggies and fruit but I find that I don't regularly eat them just because I lift weights and most of my food focuses around macro nutrients: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. I'm only 18 so when I do get older(a couple years) I will probably switch to...

Do you ever consider how much YOUR attitude affects other people?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 26 Dec 09

When you are happy and joyful, that affects other people in a good way, but when you are miserable, morose, depressed, sad, or EVEN WORSE - hypocritical, cynical, negative, hopeless, apathetic, and you spread THAT, where do you...

ToughTate I do consider what how my attitude effects others but most of the time I don't really worry about it. I can't really control how other people react to things in the world, including me. I'm also an introvert so most people think I'm always depressed or mad but...

ToughTate You want to focus on eating a lot of whole foods like oats, eggs, fish, brown rice, vegetables, chicken, turkey, etc... Starting out it's best to follow a total body workout that takes place 3 times a week. This and the diet should give you, as a beginner, the...

ToughTate It matters what kind of music it is. When I listen to heavy metal I don't really get the feeling of peacefulness and calmness(I listen to it while working out), but when I listen to classical or laid back rock then yes. I think it matters what kind of music it...

ToughTate I haven't been for the last couple years but I used to get a whole bunch and I wouldn't do anything that night than light them off. I will probably get a decent amount this year but nothing compared to what I used to get.

ToughTate I'm happy almost all of the time, and when I'm not I'm looking for the cause of my sadness and I try to reverse it. If my energy levels are down, I go out for 10 or 20 minutes of quick exercise. That always helps bringing me up.
