Hey eagles!
Hi Staffan. Love you ❤
Thank you for this you have made me decide to face my fears
All the best
You were the perfect one for this! Your bravery on the ground left no doubt in my mind that you would soar!!!! Thank you for being so inspirational and congratulations on officially becoming the newest yes theory member!
That was so amazing to watch you Staffan.... the way you motivated yourself and the way they pranked you it was all amazing..... the biggest lesson to learn here is to just do what you can and just leave everything to that God, he will take care of everything else.
It's been more than 5 years, I'm here in this channel and in each video I get a different perspective of life.
Love you guys🫂❤️

You guys are amazing! It’s been 15 years since I had A dirtbike accident and became a paraplegic. After the fact I didn’t wanna do anything I just wanted to sit at home and be by myself. you guys gave me the motivation to go out and try new things. I have the seat discomfort flag on my door so every time I walk out it reminds me to do something out of my comfort zone that day. And since this marks the 15th year I would love to go skydiving. It scared the mess out of me but I want to overcome that fear. If you guys were ever in Arkansas I would love to skydive with you guys. It would be a dream come true!! Much love💜
If your injury actually allows that, they definitely *should* make that happen !
Hey bro !! It's my 10 year mark this year also! Seek discomfort has brought a new meaning to life! Skydiving is in my bucket list also! Glad to make it happen with you!
UP
this has 199 likes i will leave it at that cause your were a shredder and that's Travis Pastranas number!!!! good for you man!!! I rode FMX for like 13 years and now i just ride DH MTB, the crashes dont hurt as bad, sometimes!!!
hope that they will help you to achieve your dream. Stay strong brother ⚡️
I loved when Staffan said: A head full of fears has no space for dreams.
Good for you on saying YES to the challenge, Staffan!🎉
I got chills when Staffan said "a head full of fears has no space for dreams" and I am seriously considering getting a tattoo of that quote as it resonates with me so much. PLEASE make merch with that quote on it.
am i the only one crying rn? oh man felt like i was flying with him! Thanks Yes theory for making such Amazing Videos! Love from india
Hlo Ri bhayia kase ho aap
ok
Can I get a reply plz🥹🥹
well said
It put a tear in my eye as well.
Shoutout to the cameraman during the skydive! Amazing moments captured on camera during and after the fall - I could feel Staffan's energy through the screen. Congratulations on facing your fear, and what an incredible connection you all have.
Amazing
I did it exactly in the same spot, exactly with the same team so I know what you guys felt here 💙
Congrats on this beautiful challenge guys !
How much does this cost because I wanna try it so badly?!
way to try to make this video about you lol who gives a shit about your experience. This isn't about you or your experience.
@@BiscuitCultist in a helicopter it cost 2900€ and in a plane 990€
I started crying when they jump, and the upbeat music is on. You can tell how happy Staffan was, he's like a newborn. Thank you Yes Theory. Your productions are gold. 11/24/2023
I genuinely cried during this video. I feel so lost in life lately. Full of fears and doubts. I have so much desire to seek discomfort yet I stay stagnant scared. I have to break out of this bubble for myself. “A head full of fears has no space for dreams” is exactly what I needed. You guys are so amazing and the joy and motivation you bring to my life is exceptional. I love what you guys do! Keep showing the world how to seek discomfort. ❤
I feel almost the same dude I cried too and had an weird feeling in stomachs the whole time I watched it
Keep you head up, king, you will succeed in what you dream! Good luck♥️
@@alexpace5491 will do, getting better 1% every day.
Amen brother
@@vangogh7049 this one and Amar’s skydiving video from a few months ago literally brings me to tears every time I watch. It’s not only a beautiful video, but it’s a motivating moment for me. Yet here I am still staying still scared to try anything new. Scared to take the leap of faith. I wish someone could just push me so I’m forced to seek the discomfort. 😂
Staffan is a great addition to the Yes Theory family, he has such a positive energy. This video was great and because of it I now have the courage to sky dive too. I usually do "If laugh I..." vídeos for my channel and sky diving has been on my mind since forever. 😅
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law"
~ Immanuel Kant
I truly cried watching him in the air. Something about him doing something he thought he would never do just hit me. YOU DID IT MAN!!
I'm from Hungary and the discomfort I'm seeking is moving from a small rural town in Hungary to the very center of Munich. The change won't be easy but I'm eager to embrace everything that comes with it. I have actually just started the navigating change course on Headspace. I have never tried guided meditation before, but now I'm hooked. Skydiving has been a drem of mine ever since I was little. I have already made up my mind and as soon as I can afford it, I will get my skydiving licence. To get the opportunity to do my very first skydive at 18 would be so incredible!!
Hey andras, i'm also from Hungary. I moved from Vac to the UK when i was 7. I'm not sure how old you are, but you have nothing to worry about. It was hard for me at the very begining but it is something that gets very easy and normal over time. In the future you will look back at how you were feeling and think of it as an achievement, and positive event!
Heya I hope you’re doing well! I‘ve lived my whole life in Munich (19 years) so if you have any questions etc you can totally just ask me! I’m not in Munich at the time since I’m currently on my gap year in New Zealand. But anyway don’t hesitate to ask whatever :))
@@Mia-rj1iu Hi! Richtig nett von dir! Ich würde mit dir gerne reden :)
A head full of fears has no room for dreams. well done guys, you give motivation to thousands of people to live their lives breaking thru what they think is possible and whats not.
As a skydiver, I am so proud of him for facing his fears and pushing through that barrier. Skydiving absolutely changed my life. It made me a better person. Not a day goes by that I regret taking that first leap. I wish more people would go and do it. The most free a person can ever feel.
I agree it gives you a whole new perspective on what you can do. Every time I think of the feeling I got after my first non-tandem jump, I just want to go back and fly again. Blue skies my friend
@@AndrewPelayo ✋🏻🤙🏻
thats some next level mental gymnastics your doing "jumping out of a plane changed my life" like ther are plenty of other things that have a far greeter impact on your existence, like any real form of exercise, and not some crackhead adrenaline rush were you risk death
@@hoodyk7342 that’s a very shallow thought process.
@@hoodyk7342 What a statement lol. Calling someone a crackhead adrenaline junkie is simply unfair characterization for someone who skydives as a hobby. You are ignorant to the fact that simply driving to the grocery store is more dangerous than skydiving. You act like we are in the 1900s when instead gear has come a long way making it extremely rare for a fatality. Yeah obviously exercise is healthy and can improve your mental health but you can’t compare that to the benefits of skydiving. Exercising doesn’t take you out of your comfort zone and won’t conquer any fears. You act like we are all hiking to Mount Everest. do a lil research
I can’t help but cry 😭 I felt every emotion Stefan felt: fear, anxiety, bravery and bliss. The video really encapsulated all of that and I feel like I was there with him. I would definitely love to experience such insanely exhilarating experience one day. Kudos to YES THEORY for another masterpiece 💕
I was watching this video with tears in my eyes. Real friends care about each other.
This is crazy, I don't think anyone can truly understand how emotional I got. Growing up in the region this was filmed in and getting to look at that landscape almost my whole life this went straight to my heart. I once went paragliding there and it really is one adventure I'll never forget. Seeing Staffan overcome his fear and having an amazing time is beautiful and inspiring. Plus The Mont-Blanc in the background I don't know why but tears rolled down my cheeks. Thank you everyone from Yes Theory, the Yes Fam. Thank you for inspiring millions of people. Merci beaucoup pour inspirer des millions de personnes.
lol wtf
The skydiving sequence is the most beautiful cinematography I've seen on CZcams. Combined with the emotional connection to you guys... Its a winner.
I was a professional skydiving videographer and I found that fascinating. I've flown wingsuits and filmed hundreds of tandems, but never a wingsuit tandem. The skill level of the chick flying (it was the chick doing outside video, because she high fived him on the ground) was awesome. Such a high skill level. She was also wearing a lead weighted belt to help with her fall rate.
As someone with a huge fear of heights (I can't even go up escalators without some fear kicking in), the fact the Staffan pushed through this fear to accomplish what he did is really inspiring. Skydiving is something I've always wanted to do and maybe this is the final push I needed to do it
You can do it🤟
You can do it. I went for my son and found an 18,000ft jump zone to make sure when I died, I wasn't just broken. Sh*tty thinking, I know. On the other side of terror is bliss; as a bonus, I'm no longer afraid of heights.
@@suzonlommel3737 I'll be honest the second thing holding me back is because I'm a bigger guy, 6'6 and decently built so I am over the weight limit for a lot of tandem skydiving places near me. I'm aiming to find somewhere and do it this year though
@@dimistrau4596 Thanks for the vote of confidence :D
@@templetart6932 you're welcome! And let me add something. When you're up there, you don't really feel the height because you can't put it in relation to anything. You just feel the freedom😊
This is insane, a stranger who you met on the street is pure Yes Theory. Putting himself past discomfort without question. I've never seen such bravery. Amazing as always.
I friggin' love Staffan's energy. "Fear doesn't prevent death, but it does prevent life". To be absolutely terrified and still go through with it - fighting his own mind, really seeking discomfort - that's what this entire thing is about. Such a perfect addition to the team.
As someone with a massive fear of heights myself, this is so inspiring to watch. Huge Shoutout to Staffan for going through with it despite his fear, and also something you cannot underestimate is the huge impact positive support from your friends has on this! Very well done :)
I use to terrified of any sort of heights, even parking garages, but thru persistent I was able to go up in the space needle completely fine. I know this doesn't sound like a huge accomplishment, but for me with my anxiety of heights, it was a real accomplishment for me.
@@aaron3733 It very much is! Any progress is an accomplishment, because its a step in the right direction. Keep it going!
I can’t even stand on a ladder and look down without getting nervous. Nevertheless I did a tandem jump last year and was so blown away by the experience that I wanted to do a license afterwards. I just had my first AFF jump today. There were times I was fucking terrified during the two days of ground school. My hands were sweating, dry mouth and everything when it finally came to jump today. But I did it and it was so much better and relaxed than I imagined. The mix of anxiety, calm, focus and dopamine is incredible. And you’ll be so fucking proud of yourself once you land your first jump…
This video was a rollercoaster of emotions from a spectator standpoint. You made us feel like we were there experiencing it with Stephan, absolutely amazing work guys!
I say this with tears in my eyes.
Props to Thomas, Ammar, Tommy, and everyone else pulling this surprise for Staffan! You guys make me want to skydive and keep seeking discomfort!
Good job Staffan! I absolutely love that quote, " a head full of fears has no space for dreams". If I may add a little to it, "a head full of fears has no space for achieving dreams". I have a lot of dreams but fear has kept me back from almost all of them so I 100% agree!
"Fear doesn't prevent death like fear prevents life, so I'm stopping myself from living and I just want to - break - this barrier and feel more alive than I have ever felt before" and then I started crying because Staffan made me realize how afraid I am of dying and how that fear has been stopping me from skydiving or scuba diving or anything remotely thrilling because my fear of death has held me back. Thank you Staffan for changing my perspective on that, it's time to stop stopping myself from living
I got to know you guys through people I met while seeking discomfort, travelling alone, and trying to make friends, which ended up happening so nicely. Today watching Staffan skydiving, I've learned that knowing how to breathe is just something that I needed in my life, and that's why I decided to use Headspace and start using your package as it seems very beneficial. Thanks for being out there guys and well done Staffan!
This was a cool way to really have Staffan kind of prove himself to the audience. We've all seen Thomas, Amar, and Tommy do some crazy stuff on this channel, so having this video just about Staffan really helps him feel more like a part of the group. Staffan is such a positive guy, so it was nice to have him be the "main character" for this one :)
These guys are amazing! Staffan is really lucky to have them. The cinematography is on whole new level. This stuff should not be for free. Premium level content
Crying tears of joy, pride and inspiration. You guys are doing it, living it. You continue to be such a source of pure positive energy in this world. Thank you all, so grateful. ✨
I have started the SEEK DISCOMFORT package and I absolutely love it. I am so happy you guys are sending so much positivity and love to so many people that need it. I myself have been using headspace every day for a year now and it has helped me go through my biggest disruptive change in my life!! Lots of love!!! My story will be told one day. Everyday turning my experience into a blessing and hopefully bless others too!!!
" What if I fall?!
But darling, what if you FLY ?! "
You were soaring!
This was so incredibly beautiful to witness.
Thank you for the reminder that a head full of fears has no space for dreams.
✨
Love the collaboration with headspace.
So happy for you and proud of you Thomas, I know headpsace and meditation has had a massive positive impact on your life over rhe years - and how beautiful that through this collaboration you can now have this impact on many others. Amazing. 🥳
Just signed up to it. Here's to leaving fears behind and stepping into the discomfort that will lead to my dreams.
Here's to no longer chilling with the turkeys, but soaring with the eagles
Thank you so so much for this incredibly moving episode
🙏💜✨
Really loved the authenticity and love shown in the video! Stefan you are such a beautiful soul! I’m from Melb Australia and the discomfort I’m seeking this year is running my first marathon! it is sure to be a challenge but I’m sure the breath work and mindfulness skills from the Headspace program will be very valuable! Thank you again for the wonderful video! :)
"Fear stands for : face everything and rise".
Had tears towards the end.. Such an incredible video as always, thank you for everything ! I can't even express my full gratitude for all the emotions and inspiring thoughts your videos make me feel and think.
"Can someone just hold me?" Oh Staffan you are a beautiful soul!
Already started my first section of the seek discomfort headspace pack. Found Headspace from them and have been using it for over a year now. So happy they made this pack.
Watching this gives me motivation to do something outside my comfort zone. Edit: a day later and I went on a hike that's super tough, really high up and very steep drop offs. I conquered my fear of falling to death or falling in general. When I got to the peak it was 2,528 feet tall, about a 2,000 foot drop straight to ground on either direction on the peak of the mountain
My heart was racing so fast watching Staffan skydive from the comfort of my bed lol. I hope one day I can feel the adrenaline of skydiving myself! It seems therapeutic almost aha and a great way to seek discomfort :) Keep up the great videos y’all never disappoint 😊
The first step is to go skydiving XD
You won't regret it
This was absolutely amazing! Staffan at the end when he asked if someone could just hold him ❤️ friendships like the ones in yes theory are so valuable in life and I aspire to find some people like this
This is the channel of which videos I’ve cried the most. I have a crying streak. The most biggest thank you for what you guys do and making it possible to expierience these journeys with you through emotions and discomfort seeking. We all grow together.
I come from a small country Latvia, been watching your videos for the longest time, extremely grateful for all the free headspace subrictions and knowledge as well. Flying to me associates with complete surrender and ableness to just let the wind take you. Thats why birds are here to remind us just that. As I’ve started the package and cried my eyes out, I’ll let this video sink in.
All love🌱☀️
Staffan - you're now officially initiated as a Yes-Theeory-ist! I've watched the 3 lads, Tommy and Cam be initiated into this crazy, inspiring, life affirming group, and now I've watched you take on the this most incredibly difficult task. The wonderful thing about this is you didn't do it alone, but others shared in your memory of feeling the fear and overcoming it. A head full of fears has no space for dreams...I can't wait to watch your continuing journey through seeking discomfort x
PS - amazing camerwork, editing and storytelling team - had me in tears...of joy and amazement of course!!!
This made me cry with joy and excitement for Staffan and how much courage he showed while overcoming his biggest fear. You inspire me and motivate me to continue to embrace and love the same mission as y’all’s. Seek discomfort means the world to me and has helped me overcome the small fears I struggle with on a daily like anxiety and depression.I would love to begin the seek discomfort package. I feel like it could be the push I need to overcome and begin my own personal healing journey.
Yes theory channel has inspired me alot to overcome the challenges I face. After 2020 lockdown I was fighting opiod addiction for nearly 2 years, on and off. Some of your videos helped me through it as I said to myself "Seek Discomfort, overcome the pain so that you can be better". Now that I've been clean for more than 6 months I really look forward to helping others who are going through the same as I did back then.
I seek challenges everyday and no matter how hard they are I always try to get through it. Someday I Hope to meet you guys and thank you in person as your channel have profoundly affected me and my perspective towards life in the most positive way. Love from NE. India 🇮🇳 ❤
This met me exactly where I wanted to be. This was absolutely wonderful. So moving, Staffan sir, you looked like you were being reborn. I honor you guys for the beauty you commit to and put out to the world. Thank you.
I have no words for what you guys did for Staffan. That is super powerful, i could feel the energy and the love flowing through my mobile screen, the moment he touched down and you welcomed him, that literally put me in tears, tears of joy of course. What an amazing thing to do such a thing for someone we truly and strongly love and care for. Keep it up please and keep spreading those messages of love, support and positivity. YES all the way.
cried like a baby, it’s so beautiful to see the special friendship you guys have 😢
You guys have created so many incredible videos throughout the years, but I don't think I've ever been moved as much as watching this one. Especially having just finished the first part of the Seek Discomfort package on Headspace and after jumping straight into the abyss of realising what discomfort is to me. It feels so unreal how big of a change to ones mentality you can make showing how much goes into fighting your fears and how much you get out of it. I'm so proud of you for constantly overcoming your fears and for creating such an amazing tool with headspace!
I have been following your channel for almost 7 years and I have never been disappointed by any of the videos that you guys made. It has been such a ride and I am extremely happy that I could always get inspired by your videos and share the love over fear, seek discomfort and yes theory philosophy! Love it soo much! I have also started the SEEKDISCOMFORT PACKAGE! Thank you for everything that you guys are doing for the world, the community and the young people! Greetings from Slovakia! Until we see each other, wish you all the best! Peter :)
I have never been sky diving, but it is one of the few things I promised myself I would do to push out of my comfort zone. The one true fear that I have is falling, so this would be one of the hardest barriers to overcome. After seeing Steffan break through such a tough emotion was one of the most inspiring things I have seen, with that being said, I will be sky diving after my graduation next year in 2024. A gift to myself to prove that no barrier should be left unbroken. Face Everything And Rise, I will hold this saying forever. Thank you guys for continually making life changing videos and inspiring millions to Seek Discomfort. Love you guys, keep changing the world
Hi! Just in case this helps - Skydiving doesn't really feel like falling because of the wind. Anyways - good luck with your graduation, skydiving and achieving your dreams :)
So inspiring to see Steffan push through his fear so gracefully. Now I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone and try something new (maybe even skydiving!)
I’m loving finally having Headspace for these 60 days 🫶 the series is amazing!!
When he said "A head full of fears has no place for dreams" I just started sobbing. My life magically brought me to LA when the war in Russia began, and it's my biggest fear - heights. In 2 weeks I will have my first internship in the Oklahoma state research university and I will have to fly alone with no family or friends. I love breathwork and this is what I will remember - feel everything and rise
This is so powerful! I wrote this down on a piece of paper and put it on my desk as a daily reminder - "A head full of fears has no space for dreams". I'm seeking discomfort by speaking up and doing things differently. I've spent years just trying to conform and that feels comfortable. Now let's make some dreams happen!
that 19:20 makes me stop, and cried. Skydive has and always been one of my dream. I can feel the story of how he overcomes the fear. Much love, Yes Theory. My highest respect to the editor!
Emotional!!!! So proud of you/happy for you, Steffan. Loved this from the concept to the production. Goosebumps, teared up and laughed with joy when you jumped and flew. Inspiring and never at a bad time. So many mantras to take away. Thank you for sharing with us, team!
This film. This group of people. You are changing the world. You are touching souls in such visceral levels. I love everything this channel represents. The messages of humanity are the most authentic & true. Thank you for all that you do ❤️
This video actually made me cry, I wish I could be as brave as you guys, I have agoraphobia and a panic disorder and am basically housebound due to my own phobias and fears, but watching your videos gives me hope that one day I might be able to battle my own discomfort even if it does have to be just one small step at a time. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
Epic video guys!! Loved watching Staffan’s journey to overcome his biggest fear 🙌 Even at the peak of his discomfort he was able to be inspirational…”a head full of fears has no room for dreams”, that will stick! 💛🦅
Wow amazing! I'm having tears in my eyes, this was so beautiful and emotional to watch. So proud of Staffan! I'm very afraid of heights myself, so this was so cool and inspiring to watch. I know these videos can mean so much to so many people, so keep doing what you guys are doing
Hey yestheory I’m from Texas and I’ve been a subscriber since before I can remember y’all are the craziest group of people I’ve ever seen on CZcams by FAR recently I’ve been working on some of the biggest challenges I’ve ever been through with employment and finding purpose however y’all’s videos are what got me through my darkest times just wanna say thanks
I'm from Luxembourg, and I'm seeking any kind of discomfort. Battling with PTSD for the last 4 years at only 22 years old means that my comfort zone helps me feel safe. Thanks to therapy and the work I've put into myself, I am now stepping out of my comfort zone again and rediscovering what it felt like when I was a little fearless kid. I have a drive for discomfort, but things still get in the way. It would matter if I could challenge my way in any way possible. Wether be singing in front of a crowd, skydiving, or dancing freely in public. Anything that allows me to discover the world. Thank you for your videos.
Hello Seek Discomfort family! ☀️☀️
I cried my eyes out!! This was such a beautiful episode, Staffan!! I am extremely proud of you my friend! I have always dreamed of flying so high in the sky but have never done it. I will make it up there on one day!
Steffan's courage to face his fears had me in tears! Thanks for sharing your bravery with the world -- so inspiring! Just started the Headspace package - hoping it can help me navigate my anxiety more consistently 💕
Congratulations Steffan! So proud and happy for you! I could feel my heart race just seeing you do it.
Not a single one of your videos goes by without encouraging me to say yes to this world and face the discomfort that comes my way. I am so moved by everything you guys accomplish and set out for others. I have a fear of flying, it is what I wrote my college essay on, and it has many times sent me into a spiral of anxiety, panic, and fear so uncomfortable it is unimaginable. Yet I chose to go to a school I had to fly to and from to get home, and I never shy away from any flights because I refuse to let it control my life, all thanks to you guys. ❤ I started the headspace package and can’t wait to use it on my next flight… :)
What an amazing and inspring video! I love how Staffan, even when scared to his core, keeps spitting those inspirational quotes xD.
I myself have had a huge fear of heights my whole life but 2 years ago I started rock climbing (first indoors only but then also outdoors) cuz my best friend has been climbing for 12+ years. Now recently I have started to overcome my fear of falling by purposely making big falls (first 2-3m, last week I fell 10 meters). It's so hard to let go when you know you will take a big fall but the feeling afterwards is unbelievably good. Skydiving is definetly on my Bucket list and this video has motivated me even more to take the big leap!
Hi im from the US. This year i'm looking to overcome my discomfort in believing in myself. Throughout my life i've always had doubts about my self and that i'm never good enough.
When I started subscribing to this channel years ago, I loved the message. Shortly after I subscribed, someone spontaneously asked me to go skydiving the next day. My brain was telling me hell no, but I paused and slowly said "suuure...". When the door opened of the plane filled me with fear and away we went. I'm happy it's off my bucket list and happy that I said yes instead of no.
Beautiful Video I think the pandemic and the economic crisis have taught people how important multiple streams of income are, unfortunately having a job does not automatically mean financial security, I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance in these difficult times
I agree with you 100%. Did you know that the unemployment rate increased significantly between 2021-2022. People became unemployed. We should not depend solely on wages and salary.
The delayed impact of the global interest rate spikes, steady erosion of consumer savings and post-COVID pent-up demand, and deeply troubling global geopolitical context will result in market declines and re-emergence of market volatility
If inflation slowed down but if it reverses as interest rates rise higher, I believe the sectors that have driven this rally should be vulnerable to sharp pullbacks.
I agree. High-yield dividend stocks come immediately to mind as they offer steady passive income streams at inflation-beating levels, for a certain return should these crazy markets turn south.
On the contrary those high yields don’t penultimately mean the equivalent amount in dollars will be disbursed, I will advice seeking counsel from a local broker, I myself work with a fiduciary in New York although I am in South Dakota.
One of your greatest ever videos. Truly inspiring and uplifting ❤
WOW!! So much respect for Staffan for facing his fear. The support and love you guys have for each other brought me to tears. It's amazing to watch ♥
i have no words for this episode...... you guys never fail to inspire and fill all those around you with joy.
Each and every one of you have been blessed with such amazing gifts and to be using them collectively to the absolute most of your abilities is beyond inspiring.
i love you guys.
----Richard----
Staffan remains my all time favorite new member to the team. I’m proud of you brother. You guys inspire me beyond belief. Seek discomfort!
Truly amazed by you guys. This is what life's truly meant to be. I startet my seek discomfort package - (i am also afraid of hights but open to face every fear).
This video was truely amazing, the camera work, editing, story telling, everything. The emotions could be felt through the screen, you bet I was crying.
Your collaboration with headspace comes at the perfect time, since I used to meditate everyday but fell out of it and had a hard time getting back to it.
This year, my discomfort will be quitting university and accepting an amazing full-time job at a Dutch start-up where I combine creativity and science, to inspire people to live healthy. I'm moving to a new city where I don't know anyone, but I am beyond excited.
The amount of emotions you were able to capture and show to the audience is enormous.
I’ve been watching and enjoying YT vids for years but this is the 1st one to actually upset me. To kidnap your friend and make him do something that terrifies him deeply isn’t cool. This really crossed the line into cruelty. I was afraid of heights growing up and then eventually was diagnosed with a rare blood pressure disorder. I learned that bungee jumping or skydiving could kill me. You guys are really lucky that Staffan didn't have a medical episode as a result of that jump. I believe we should seek discomfort but not ignore the signals your body is trying to give you. Ultimately we should all seek survival.
I agree.
@@nicolems What really upsets me is that they put Steffan in a no-win position. If he’d refused to do the jump, after all the efforts, time & money poured into this, he’d have risked humiliating himself and/or losing his lifestyle and extended family. It was a terrible thing to do to him. Look, YT helped get me through lockdown with their fun & positive vids. I think ultimately their hearts are usually in the right place. I just hope they don’t lose sight of their humanity in the pursuit of likes. Some fears are perfectly valid, like a fear of being water boarded or being raped. Doesn’t mean we have to endure simulations of every frightening experience to try to overcome it. Some fears need to be respected.
What a beautiful video!! Incredible shots, beautiful scenery and such a profound message. Steffan is so insiprational, love his quotes!! All of you are such an inspiration, love you ❤
I have made seek discomfort the motto of my life. I even got “seek discomfort” tattooed on my leg. I always liked the idea of seeking adventures out of your comfort zone. But recently I realized that seeking discomfort is more than doing high adrenaline activities. I just graduated college and I was scared of the uncertain future. I was ready to settle and stay working in retail. But since I’ve been meditating, thanks to inspiration from yes theory, I have reflected and found that I have to seek the discomfort of leaving the job I’ve had for 5 years and take a leap of faith in the career that I want. The other day I accepted a job offer in the field I studied in college a week after graduating. This year, I’m seeking discomfort by taking leaps of faith to be the best version of myself i can be by doing things that I usually keep myself back from doing due to self doubt. I already feel happier and I’m excited to see what more I can achieve
Thank you Steffan for being that guy, you're awesome and crazy. Watching you skydive with your fear of height brought adrenaline rush in me haha, can't imagine how you did overcome that. Skydiving has been on my bucket list for a very long time, hope I'll fly soon like an eagle too... God bless the Yes family.
This episode hits like the movie Secret Life of Walter Mitty to me. The unknown, the fear, the ride, the commitment, the freedom, the relief...all the things that kept me alive was once relived through this. You guys are truly wonderful. And although you didn't get to met Nicolas Cage, I think the video is enough to call itself a National Treasure.
I am from Switzerland and i again noticed how beautiful Switzerland is.
Love the Videos over the Years and keep up the Great Work thanks for everithing you guys did for us and all support from the yes family
Realy proud of steffan. :)
Staffan screaming from the parachute is so funny lol. That was awesome!
Staffan, you are such an inspiration. Not only you, but the whole Yes Theory. Thank you guys so much creating this channel. I've changed a lot in my life and in my thoughts thanks to you. It made my everyday life easier, as a teacher, as a person. I can tackle any hurdle in life much better. I can't think enough of how much I would love for pupils to understand this way of thinking, and until they do, I'll be the messenger of being a role model and fighting my fears and insecurities.
Bless all of you, much love from Sweden.

Years ago, I had my friend ask me if I wanted to go skydiving and even with my incredible fear of heights, it was because of Yes Theory and their beautiful videos that I said YES. It was the most amazing experience of my life: full of fear, but also of extreme wonderment and incredible confidence. This looks like an incredible experience and now I too am proud of Staffan because many short years ago, that was me. This video was amazing and now I hope I get to cross wingsuit flying/skyjumping off my bucket list as well! Congratulations Staffan for conquering your fears, never let them control you ever again! 😊
it's really incredible how much bond is created between you guys while doing stuff like that, sending your friends into space and waiting for their return, enriched with an unique experience strenghtens so much between each of you. i'd love to have the opportunity to once share something familiar with my friends. lets try out that seek discomfort package.
“A head full of fear has no space for DREAMS!” That hit me so hard and something I needed to hear right now in life as I have a head full of fear about leaving everything I know for a new chapter in life. I found your page yesterday and I feel like you’ve already had an impact on my life. Thank you for that. I needed that cry, and I needed that clarity.
I get it now..... Thomas is outsourcing the dangerous stuff to stephan😂😂😂
This is one of the best channels on CZcams!❤
I’m from Miami , I’m currently facing a fear of open waters. You guys are my biggest inspiration to face my fears and make the best out of every day that passes🥺
You guys really amazing helped plenty people seeking discomfort❤️♥️
I have a insane fear of skydiving. This made me think I might be able to do this. What a beautiful gift you gave him.
This video should win an award. Absolutely incredibly well produced and rarely do you see emotion captured so fully on film. WELL DONE YES THEORY!!!!
This was one of the most impactful episodes so far imo, just amazing that he pushed through and actually did it. Amazing.
Literally cried, love the energy love how he has tackled his fear, love yes theory ❤
YA'LL OVER HERE MAKING HISTORY👑
“Fear doesn’t prevent death. Fear prevents life.” - Staffan, 2023 ❤️
Such a visceral experience watching that I had to pause the video and breathe just watching on the edge before the jump. Good on you Staffan, being petrified of heights too, that’s the one of the bravest moments I’ve ever seen! Also wow that camera work during the flying part was insane!
I was in the middle of nowhere, taking a break from normal life when when the headspace pack dropped and honestly it was the most perfect timing ever.. not only exactly what I needed right when I needed it, but its helped me make some important decisions about how I want to live life moving forward. I’ll be proudly seeking and facing my fears & discomforts head on and I’ll have Staffan’s wise words in my head when I do after this video now too (and Thomas & Dora’s wisdom from the course too). Thank you so much Yes Theory and Headspace.
This videos shots were absolutely amazing. Editing and everything. Perfection. I felt every single emotion.
"A head full of fears, has no space for dreams" right before he jumps is iconic considering how scared he was. Great video as always
CONGRATS ON THE VIDEO. WHAT YOU DO IS AMAZING, VERY INSPIRING AND WILL ALWAYS KEEP THE CONCEPTS AND VALUES YOU PREACH IN MY HEART
