Fuld transskription af Functioning in a Dysfunctional World

00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:41.439 I do know what we're living with right now, and that we are more evolved than we've ever been. 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.120 And there's a dissonance. 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:44.879 We're at odds with each other. 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:54.400 People see things in a binary way instead of finding things that they can relate to and building community based on common values and interests. 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.639 No, there's a lot of division going on. 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.120 And a lot of that has to do with this. 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:10.159 I'm gonna say it again, the billionaire class and the oligarchy trying to tell us that we need to consume and that we need to participate in something that is disruptive to our very humanity. 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.080 We are meant to live as community. 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.159 We are meant to live amongst ourselves. 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.919 Do we have to get along with everybody? 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:16.240 No. 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.240 I've discussed this pretty much in every episode that I've put out. 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.840 But I do again ask, what are you doing with your time and your attention? 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.840 And how is that shaping your optics of the world? 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:39.039 And it's okay to fall into discomfort, feeling of lack, even to take a moment and feel some despair. 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.400 Acknowledge that. 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.479 Don't get wrapped up into it. 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:51.199 And then come back and acknowledge what you can control and what is completely outside of your control. 00:03:51.599 --> 00:04:08.159 There's an amazing thing that happens when you get your shit together and you are mentally strong and sound, and you'll see how the world shifts and changes, and more things that you are in alignment with will come to you naturally. 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:16.560 Not because of some mystical force, but because of your relinquishing of your resistance to that which is good for you. 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:24.240 Psychology has been a huge component of advertising for the past 70 plus years. 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.279 Advertising, political campaigns, world events. 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.120 So much is going on that is prepar. 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.000 Look at what the media put so much attention on. 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:42.319 So much it is focused on the negative, because there's something that happens to us as humans when we feel and see negative things. 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:52.560 It caters to our instincts, to things that are built into our very anatomy and how our brains function. 00:04:52.800 --> 00:05:03.199 Negativity engenders fear, it engenders a feeling of a threat, and that taps into something that is a primordial part of being human. 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.360 But again, you're evolved. 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.920 So you can actually do something about it. 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:16.720 And a huge part of it is taking a moment which will separate that thought and then the actions that you're going to take moving forward. 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:33.120 So if social media is disrupting your life and you see all of this confrontation and all of this discord and this the opposite of community, take a moment and realize: is this solely happening online or is it also happening in person? 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.480 I promise you, people can disagree with you in person, but it's not like it is online. 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.319 Society doesn't operate in communities and in reality the same way that it operates online. 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:51.199 There's a lot that goes into it communication, body language, tone, so on and so forth. 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.040 But in brief, reality kind of is important. 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:02.639 And what happens online is something that's meant to connect us, but you've been manipulated by forces that are trying to oppress you. 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.600 So acknowledge that, and it's okay. 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.759 And acknowledge what you can actually control and take ownership of it. 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.560 Ask yourself what are your influences? 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.040 How are your ideas shaped? 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.959 Are your ideas original? 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.519 Are they based in abundance and prosperity and progress? 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.759 Or are they fear-based? 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:25.199 Are they negative? 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.519 Are they manifestations and projections of your own insecurity? 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:37.600 If all of those latter categories are the case, you have an opportunity to change your influences, which will change your mindset. 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.480 Also ask yourself, what does your community look like? 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.000 How are you involved? 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.639 How are you giving something that you have the capability to give? 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.600 And I think a lot of people fall into the problem of when they hear giving, they think money. 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.319 You don't have to give all of your money away. 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:02.720 But if you have ideas that you can share, I was just having a conversation with a nurse yesterday about different ways that people can contribute. 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:09.279 And yeah, when you operate with an abundance mentality, you understand that there's so much. 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.639 There's actually more than we know what to deal with. 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:23.600 The problem is when people try to attach capitalism and profit to things that people need and try to profit off of human needs. 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:24.879 That's a problem. 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.240 But it does raise the question: what are you doing about it? 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.399 And how are you

consuming? 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.120 And how is that affecting this environmental destruction? 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.600 What do your consumption habits look like? 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.959 Also ask yourself, what do your relationships look like? 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.360 Your friends, who are you surrounding yourself with? 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.279 What kind of conversations are you having? 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:52.480 And also the thing about friends is that a lot of folks have the tendency to expect everything from everyone. 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.560 And that's not the case. 00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:05.199 Sometimes, if you have a friend that you enjoy their companionship, but you also know that they are a kind of dramatic, that can be a brunch friend. 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.360 That doesn't have to be somebody that you confide in when you're going through an extremely challenging life situation. 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:20.240 If you have friends that are great for having just a good time, they're not the folks that you're gonna talk to when you need an accountability partner. 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:27.680 So think about your friends and have a reasonable expectation of who they are and what to expect from them. 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:36.399 Because if you have a friend that is a compulsive liar and you're expecting to get some honest truth from them, guess what? 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:43.120 Asking honest truth from a compulsive liar friend, it's not a shortfall on their behalf or being a compulsive liar. 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:43.919 That's who they are. 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.159 That's your fault for trusting a compulsive liar to tell you something truthful. 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.519 Also, think about the people that you partner up with. 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:59.840 And this could be work, this could be business, this could be people that you embark on a project together, and it can be romantic as well. 00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:01.039 It doesn't have to be. 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.919 But think about the kind of people that you're partnering up with and the nature of your partnership and the nature of their character. 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.000 Is this person a positive influence for you? 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.720 Is this person bringing you more of what you want in your life? 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.480 And this isn't attaching some quantitative value to people. 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:25.120 Like, let's not get into attaching some kind of Ayn Rand metric to it. 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.480 Fuck that shit. 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.879 People are people, you can't assign a fucking metric to them. 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.960 Like, we're humans, we're not robots for fuck's sake. 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:44.480 But think about the partners in your life and reasonably have an understanding of who they are and what you can expect from them. 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:51.679 Because it's unfair to expect something from somebody when it is outside of that person's character. 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:57.840 An unreasonable expectation is not the fault of the other person, it's yours. 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.240 So find people that are in alignment with what you are looking for. 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:13.440 This also applies to family, yes, even family, because you can take ownership of how much time you spend with your own family. 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.320 And family can be blood family, it could be chosen family. 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.320 Family is what you make it. 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:28.080 You can choose who you want to be around, and you can select which family members you want to spend time with, and in what context. 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:34.080 We're living in an era where people are getting way more empowered by things like boundaries. 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:40.639 We're living in an era where these old social contracts may not even apply anymore. 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:47.679 So consider what type of energy and time you're expending by being around your family. 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:54.720 Is it something that is favorable or is it something that you need to do in small doses? 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.679 Because it doesn't have to be completely black and white. 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:04.799 You don't have to spend all of your time with them and you don't have to go in the opposite direction and completely not deal with them whatsoever. 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:16.240 Unless, understandable, there are reasons to not deal with your family, which is, I get it, I understand it intimately, and sometimes you do need to go no contact with your family. 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:25.440 So again, take ownership of what you can control, and then think about where your attention is going and what can you do about it. 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.360 Also ask yourself: what is it that's bothering you? 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.279 What's hindering your focus? 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.600 What's limiting your productivity? 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:38.080 What is siphoning your energy away from positive things? 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.399 What's disturbing your peace? 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.720 And what can be done about it? 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.279 Meaning, what are you gonna do about it? 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.000 And then how do you get started? 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.480 What's the first step that you're gonna take to do something about it? 00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:02.960 In the show notes, I'm going to provide several episodes that are going to tap into exactly those questions and provide you with solutions on what to do about it. 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.240 One of the earliest episodes I did, it's the first long episode. 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.000 It's called Just Get Started. 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:17.039 And that is where I provide you with action plans, how to brainstorm, mind map, and then actually come up with an

action plan to help you embark on your goals. 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.080 But it can also be used for exactly this. 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.919 What is preventing you from reaching your goal? 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.399 Another topic is called get shit done. 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:36.960 That is where I focus on productivity and especially provide you with some tips that are going to help you completely reduce how much you are being distracted. 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.159 Because again, that is something you can take ownership of. 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.080 Another episode I'll link is called awareness, acceptance, action. 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.639 And this is a topic that I discuss a lot. 00:12:46.799 --> 00:13:01.440 I talk about it and just get started, but the awareness acceptance action episode is where I do a deep dive on all three of those components that'll help you one, get what you want, and two, help you function in a dysfunctional world. 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.279 Even in a functional world, this will help you get what you want. 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.720 Another episode is called Feel, Heal, Rise. 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:19.919 And this gives you an opportunity to, again, acknowledge what's happening in your life, but also provide you with action steps to help you heal through the things that have caused you harm. 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:27.840 And then always I'm going to provide you with action steps that'll help you get to that next level, and that's where rise comes from. 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.000 Also, I have a mindset series, again, linked in the show notes. 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:42.240 And the two most recent episodes that I did in the mindset series are what we feed grows, meaning the more you pay attention to something, the more you will see it in your life. 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.279 And then we have the episode Strengthen Your Mind, which doesn't need to be explained. 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.559 It's exactly as it sounds. 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.679 Two more episodes. 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:56.559 I did an interview with Meg Perry, and in her interview, she goes into discussion about how to curate your algorithms. 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:07.200 And then finally, I did an episode that is called No One Is Coming to Save You, and that gives you the opportunity to take ownership of how you are going to navigate through life's challenges. 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.879 Additionally, consider critical thinking skills. 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.720 How are you being influenced? 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:21.600 That recent example of the Russian bot farms being taken out by Ukraine, and now people are realizing how many shit takes were actually coming from bots. 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.559 It's something that I had felt for a long time. 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:29.120 I don't believe in feeding attention to attention-seeking monsters. 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:42.720 So I don't engage in arguments online because I know one, online arguments are rarely resolved if both parties or several are not intellectually or emotionally mature. 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:52.159 And two, I know that a lot of times it's a bot, and bots are constantly seeking engagement so that their algorithm becomes more influential. 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.240 That's energy harvesting. 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.480 I'm not taking part in that. 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:15.279 I support technology and I support non-generative AI, but I'm not going to feed into some fucking AI machine that is then going to appropriate words, ideas, and misuse them in a way that's damaging, that's so destructive. 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.519 Don't argue with anybody online. 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.720 Cause you might be actually talking to a bot, and what good is that doing? 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.000 Your energy is literally being siphoned from you. 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.919 Also, I discussed advertising a little bit earlier on. 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.720 This is no different than what advertising has done to us for the past 70 plus years. 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:43.360 Tapping into our human emotions and human drives and human needs and manipulating us so that we buy products? 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.720 I don't think so. 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.399 You're better than that. 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.879 The wild thing is, you already have everything that you need. 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:56.399 And what is being promoted, advertised, and pushed to you has nothing to do with needs. 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:06.559 It has to do with tapping into your wants and especially your insecurities to make you feel like you have a void that needs to be filled by buying cheap shit. 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.399 Guard your energy, guard your wallet, make better choices. 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:19.200 All of these messages and ideas are also promoting confirmation bias for fearful and hateful people and ideas. 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.799 And it's persuasion for those that are easily persuaded. 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.200 So arm yourself against this by strengthening your mind. 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.840 And again, episodes that I referenced earlier will be linked in the show notes. 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.720 So, do you feel distracted, disturbed, and distressed, or are you just simply overwhelmed? 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:50.799 Do you find yourself constantly distracting yourself with media, social networking, and putting so much attention into things that you don't like, as opposed to actually turning that focus inward and just accepting life, and especially yourself, as is? 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:59.039 Do you stay up late, goofing around on your phone in bed, which look, I am gonna be judgy, I'm just gonna go ahead and admit that right off the bat. 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.799 I don't do scroll in bed, I don't put my phone in bed with me. 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.840 It goes face down.

00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:10.799 If it needs to be charged, it's on the charger, and there's way more fun and interesting things to do in bed instead of scrolling on your phone. 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.759 Do you watch programs that you just can't pull yourself away from? 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.440 Do you seek the approval of people that you really don't like? 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.119 Is it ever enough? 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.359 How much more do you need to add to your life? 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.960 And more importantly, are you asking yourself why you're doing this? 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:28.559 If you keep feeding that monster, it will continue to grow. 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:33.200 So take a moment and ask yourself, do I want to keep this monster around? 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:42.000 And if the answer is no, which ideally it is, then take responsibility for your part and acknowledge that you are feeding that monster and then stop. 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:55.200 If you're doing things to fill a void, like dating somebody who's totally inappropriate, disrespecting your body or letting others disrespect you and your body, are you constantly checking notifications to feel validated? 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.680 Are you overspending way beyond your budget? 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.000 Are you eating past the point of satisfaction? 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.640 Are you exercising to excess or using fitness as a punishment instead of a reward? 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:16.799 And whatever else your brain is doing that sabotages you, you're gonna keep repeating these damaging patterns until the pain of doing those things and the consequences become greater than the fear of change. 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:24.000 Once you recognize that pattern, you'll be able to move in a positive, productive, and amazing direction. 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:29.920 There will never be enough of anything until you finally realize that you are enough. 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.640 You are great as is. 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:40.240 Until you have that realization, you will keep seeking things outside of yourself to feel better on the inside. 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.519 Here's a secret. 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.640 When you feel good on the inside, it reflects on the outside. 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:51.680 You glow, you emit positive energy, and it's attractive to those who have it and to those who want it. 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.960 So my challenge to you is this do you know what you do to excess? 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.519 Do you know how you're sabotaging yourself? 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.720 Are you aware of the things that you're doing to escape your pain? 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.000 Have you pinpointed the things that cause you pain? 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.799 Are you willing to accept your part in the pain of your life? 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.039 Will you allow yourself to take responsibility for your actions? 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.720 Do you want to do something about it? 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.720 Look, what happened is in the past and it's over. 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:28.480 It will always be a part of who you are, but you don't have to carry the burden around. 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.759 It's very much like the aftermath of an injury. 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:39.440 You'll have the scar and you'll have the memory, but the physical pain from that injury happening is in the past. 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.160 Whatever it is, it's okay. 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:44.720 And you don't have to fix everything right away. 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:50.160 The gift you can give yourself is awareness and working on acceptance. 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:58.400 When you do this, you are developing more self-awareness, more self-acceptance, and working closer towards self-love. 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:03.839 This doesn't happen immediately, but the time invested is totally worth it. 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.240 It takes time, but it happens. 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:13.279 Outside influences will tell you that things are quick and easy, but quick and easy won't create lasting change. 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.759 Easy and quick as a sales pitch. 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.359 It only leads to more. 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.119 More spending, more pain, more insecurity, more distraction. 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:33.119 Instead of escape, filling voids and sabotage, take a moment and reflect on where you are now and think about how hard you've worked to get here. 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:38.000 Think about where you've been, especially in a low spot or when you've been in a lot of pain. 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:48.319 Even if this low spot or a painful experience is something that you are experiencing right now, you're still further along than where you were before. 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:58.160 Even if this is a similar low experience that you've been in previously, now you have experience and insight, and you're gonna get through it, and you'll be stronger for it. 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:03.039 You're gonna recognize those patterns, and recognizing those patterns gives you what? 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:10.079 Awareness! And awareness is the prerequisite for acceptance, and then you can actually take action. 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.960 Everything in your life has led you to this point. 00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:18.880 You are exactly where you need to be if you can make use of the current situation. 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:26.079 It's good to look forward, it's great to have goals, it helps to have something to look forward to, so do that. 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:31.279 Plan, dream, and aspire to work toward the best life possible for you. 00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:35.920 But also acknowledge where you are right now, no escape. 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:41.119 Take a look around and see how beautiful life is right now. 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.640 What's distracting you from acknowledging that? 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:46.799 Recognize that distraction. 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.880 Take ownership of your part and then do something about it. 00:21:51.119 --> 00:22:07.200 It's not your fault that every day there's noise and distractions surrounding you, but it is your responsibility to acknowledge that noise, to acknowledge the environments in which you are inserting yourself, and then take ownership of what you're gonna do about it moving forward. 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.000 Make better choices. 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:16.559 Experience gives us wisdom, and wisdom inspires positive action. 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.799 So start with one thing. 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:20.640 What are you gonna start with? 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.559 Here's a couple examples. 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.640 Spend less than one hour per day on social media. 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.039 Only rely on news from unbiased, reliable, vetted sources. 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:40.559 Find an app or a tool that helps you with budgeting and start tracking your money in and your expenses. 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.519 And the expenses are both gonna be planned as well as unplanned. 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:52.880 You have so much power and control over your life and the trajectory in which it's going to go in. 00:22:53.119 --> 00:23:07.680 And while you can't change a ton of the external forces that may have an influence on which direction the wind is gonna blow you, you can choose how you're gonna go ahead and navigate through the unknown. 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:12.160 Spoiler!
