Gratification means pleasure, and it was mentioned in the video that using ‘ladders’ and avoiding ‘snakes’ does not mean you’re eliminating all forms of pleasure. Delayed gratification in this context refers to tasks that may not feel good to accomplish in the present but in the future, makes you feel amazing.

    I just gotta say: This is one of the best videos you've made recently. The editing, music, and metaphors were phenomenal for creating a call to action for me personally, and I'm guessing this resonated with a lot of other people as well. I've been putting in a lot of hard work and effort over the last six months in several areas of my life, and being able to tap into that feeling of power from time to time and think that this effort is worthwhile meant a lot.

    This came at a great time. I’m going sober for the entirety of October. I just joined a gym and meal prepped for clean eating. I’ve been unemployed for the past year and I’m getting back into the work force ASAP. I’m doing this because I’m a musician with an album coming out soon and I’ve put so much work into it and it’s something I’m proud of but it is literally the only good thing in my life and everything else around it is rotten. Wish me luck!

    It's kind of an interesting dilemma. I sort of feel like us anxious people, feeling such constant anxiety, can't even fully understand the concept of not always being a certain way. Like, obviously everyone suffer from some degree positive and negative emotions, and even the worst-case people are not anxious literally 100% of the time, but it really has to do with brain connections. Imagine it's your birthday, and all of your friends come over to spend time with you. Where the average person would be happy and excited to see all their friends, an anxious person might be more aware of just how many people are there, and it makes it hard to be happy when you feel crowded by people who should make you happy, especially when you start to feel bad that you aren't having fun at your own party, and you hope people can't tell that you don't want them to be there, because deep down you really do... It's not just as simple as "notice bad thought - replace bad thought", although that can help and does help me personally, but it's literally a disconnect of desire. You as a person want something, but the response your brain is telling you to have does not match the response you feel you want. It can cause a lot of self-worth issues, and I feel like a lot of people don't even fully recognize the actual issue.

    • @nickp3949
      @nickp3949 Před rokem +2

      Well said. I relate to this so much. It makes me feel like I’m not on the same wavelength as anybody, like I’m not centered or grounded. Everybody else is “there” in the moment, and I’m “here” stuck inside my anxious mind. It’s like I’m on a different plane or something. And because I can’t connect, it ramps up the anxiety even more and I just want to get out of there. Friends that I could know VERY well in one on one interactions are unrecognizable to me in groups. “The group” takes on its own single shape, and it feels over powering.
      Also, in groups there’s danger present…like being at the bottom of the totem pole, or being disrespected and shamed in front of everyone, or being targeted and picked on. These threats don’t exist one on one. But in groups I’m a nervous wreck.

    I randomly kicked some stumps over... found a snake.... I juststomped a snake to death just 30 minutes on this. Then thought about this channel and found this video. Explain that.
    I used my leg I broke and I could feel my rod and it feeling tight andit felt worn out. And now I'm hearing about how they're a waste of energy. I got to FEEL the perspective Better Ideas just explained.
    I'm an alcoholic. Homeless on and off for the last 4 years... It led me to consider the alcohol I've been drinking since morning as a snake.
    I'm not superstitious, or religious. But it makes me consider something is leading me to this channel. I love this channel. And I wholeheartedly believe it will some day lead me to a new life. Never held a job and been a alcoholic most of my life. I sort of believe in guardian angels.
