    • @jjQlLlLq
      @jjQlLlLq Před 3 lety +135

      Bcuz common self help stuff tend to be unrealistically demanding of unmotivated people. Using formal research data may be good in logic, but we're not robots who can be expected to do things that CEOs or prodigies like to do that makes them successful according to research, and we may feel like a failure when we can't fulfill those cold, data-based methods.
      This channel's approach I think is more like sharing the insights & ideas that an ordinary man gets in his own journey & experience, so it becomes more relatable to us common people who can relate that life isn't that easy. He shows understanding & empathy of those ordinary feelings.
      We're only human, and I think his approach is human, that's why it's more intimate & relatable like a heart-to-heart.

    Not gonna lie...I needed this. I really, really did. I am currently on my third year of college, studying something I personally believe I do not really wish to pursue that much, but am also on an academical situation which got me away from keeping the opportunity to essentially seek opportunities in a way that was viable. From thinking "I finally made it...I'm finally here, after all the work.." I ended at feeling as if I was at the verge of losing it all. My family's faith in me, my "happy" and extroverted behavior, my academic "ranking"...essentially everything I had been working for ever since youth. And for the very first time in my life, in this specific situation, I felt...essentially...powerless. Alone. Regretful. I felt an indescribable amount of pain that would never leave. That emotion is still there, however, recently I've come to realize I cannot give up, nor stop moving forward, seeking that sentiment of tranquility and stillness (in a good sense, of course). This video...oddly enough, sort of helped to the point where I'm tearing up XD. I don't know how to say this, I...guess I just really needed to hear this. I do not know this channel, nor you as a person, but...I thank you for this. I just subscribed simply because this was great advice. And most certainly something I needed to hear. I wish you well, and I now leave you be. Of course, at this point I bet you already went camping XDXD but I still hope things went well and that they are still going well. Have a good day, or night..or...afternoon...and thank you.

      So yesterday I was eating with my family when all of a sudden a “crew mate” broke in through the front door. He had a ski mask on and a gun which was sus, but he a good skin. My father told us all to hide so we don’t get killed by the obvious imposter. I could see him from my hiding spot under the table and he looked sus. So I told my dad “DAD YOU THINK HE IS THE IMPOSTER? HE IS SUS!” I yelled as loud as I could. The imposter found us hiding and shot my father five times. The imposter was so dumb, who kills someone in front of crew mates? I ran to call the emergency meeting by grabbing my phone off the table when I heard my mother get shot and scream for me. Lol she was so bad at among us. My teammates sucked and were dying to the worst Imposter. So I called the emergency meeting and for some reason a S.W.A.T team rammed down the door and killed the imposter. Lol that’s not how the game goes, I think they were hacking.

    If life allowed for 3rd person perspective, I swear I'd be much more inclined to treat life like a game. The ability to disassociate yourself from the games we play allow us to make decisions that purely benefit us in that moment or down the line. The always first person perspective makes things so personal and forces us to "be the player" at all times trapping us in the emotional and mental struggles that ultimately prevent us from making the best decisions to succeed.

    • @matthewmarshall7590
      @matthewmarshall7590 Před 2 lety +21

      @Prisoner of the Internet Honestly, just simply breathe and focus on the act of inhaling and exhaling. It will help with disconnecting yourself from your thoughts. You can always listen to natural sounds, (many different videos on CZcams) search up guided meditations to help with that. Deepak Chopra explains it well in his book ‘the seven spiritual laws of success.’ But I always go back to the simple act of breathing, and focusing on the inhalation, and exhalation. Feeling the air flow through your body. And listen to any natural sounds. Wind through the trees. The crash of waves. The chirps of birds. The roar of an engine as it goes on by. It’s all natural sounds. I hope this helps! I know it’s a long process, but stick with it and it should eventually help. Build a routine by doing just 2-5 minutes of meditation daily It’ll increase overtime.

    I've been using Habitica where you can actually create a character and level up as you complete habits and other tasks that you set for yourself. Their slogan is literally "Gamify your life." Chat with other people, join "guilds" of different types of ways to make your real-life better, and battle monsters (with others in the party you join or create) as you complete your tasks. It's almost like D&D without rolling dice. Your attacks depend on how many of your tasks were completed that day. Another way to add video games to real life 😁

      I joined it about 4 months ago and asked about how one of the features worked in the chat channel, later that evening one dude messaged me to join his party and that he was new too and saw my comment in the chat. I agreed we both formed a party and complete quests and everything and I don't even talk to the dude much we just simply do our tasks knowing theres one more guy beside me doing it.
