Equanimitize

@Talinn A lot of futurist are stage Yellow, not sure about these two individuals. I see this as almost inevitable though, life expectancy is always increasing even though we are arguably the most unhealthy we have ever been as technology continues to grow exponentially, boob jobs are just the beginning-what makes you think this won't happen? I mean, unless we destroy our planet before we get to that point.

Meditation would be your best bet to build your awareness muscle. Once you start practicing your awareness, you can get rid of these hurtful and damaging words towards yourself-as you know your words become your reality. You are here and now right now-that in of itself is a miracle. Have some compassion for yourself Man-take it easy. Treat yourself like you would your best friend or someone that you love deeply.

I like this, and may incorporate it. Thank you I have to get back into doing this as well-might as well make good use of your shower, sometimes I even do bioenergetics while taking a cold shower and get my chimpanzee on.

He is sort of the “forefather” for integral theory and as you can see as by evidence of us talking about it right now has reached a lot of the major thinkers like Leo and others. I have purchased a few of his courses, I haven’t got to them just yet so I can’t speak from experience as of the quality, but I’d say he’s probably a really good resource to garner your information from along with those that are directly affiliated with him. Hope this helps

Anything you do will cost you your time and benefits. Sometimes that means going down a rabbit hole, but you see that is the very thing that may be your catalyst for growth-this is all part of the path. Everything you do in life has opportunity cost. You have to figure out what is worth pursuing, and get feedback from the Universe on whether or not it aligned with you. Whats different about this place vs other communities, organizations, etc. is pretty much everyone tells you to realize truths through direct experience vs believing in dogma.

Such incredible insights by everyone-what a great reminder as this is applicable to my present situation. Thank you @tashawoodfall for the great question.

Maybe you are avoiding pain because the truth often times is disguised as something horrific that you don't want to face but in reality the truth is liberation. When you resist pain, suffering will manifest itself into your reality. Then stop defending yourself, accept whatever arises like the peaceful warrior that you are.

@Torch Well, you’re in the right place to get where it is you want to go. Keep chipping away my friend. ✌️

Some very foundational timeless books about business success are: Rich Dad, Poor Dad Think and Grow Rich Some Marketing books are: Ogilvy on advertising Breakthrough Advertising Seth Godins Books Podcast: Dean Jackson & Joe Polish “I love marketing” you can pretty much just listen to the podcast and know more then you will ever need to know about marketing.

@saffron If testing your self physically and mentally is something you are interested in you can find ways to replicate this. You can check out Mark Divine, who is a Stage Yellow thinker Navy Seal who has a course that replicates Hell Week. There’s also the ManKind project, that looks very interesting. The truth will definitely set you free. Wish the best for you on your Journey.

I can't tell you how to motivate yourself-the way I see it is this is an internal process, it's like asking how do I go about breathing. When you see how much your life changes based off the steps you are taking your motivation will compound. Having some sort of vision and purpose that is aligned with your higher self will also motivate you. Motivation to me is rather shallow-it is something that comes and goes depending on your emotional structure. Being passionate about something allows motivation to occur naturally. Also, pain is a great motivator.

There cannot be a peace externally if you are not at peace. Thanks for the vid!

I am not sure about negative energy getting trapped into a room. I do know that it is important to set up as much as you can an environment that is ecologically abundant for you to self actualize. Think of your environment as the soil for the plants-is there sufficient nutrients for the plant to grow. What can you do to eventually leave that environment or if not at minimum set up parameters where your environment is conducive to your growth?

I am not a successful life coach yet, but I will become one. I'd say theres two main points. Embodiment: The way I see it is successful life coaches themselves are always looking to evolve, always clawing and scratching to go to the next level, willing to do the hard work in order to grow in all aspects of their life, they are life long learners. They actually embody the very teaching that they are giving to their clients-the best way to be an amazing coach is for you yourself to go on the very path in which you are requesting your clients to go on or better yet have already been on that path. Marketing: Without proper marketing you are stale talent. You won't ever get the opportunity to give your gifts to the Universe because no one knows about you. You will fail 100% of time without proper marketing skills, abilities, and knowledge. Of course if you want to go meta to encapsulate everything the term "Mastery" comes to mind-being ok with the long game and the beautiful daily grind. Which in of itself is probably the most powerful thing.

This is so complex, that I can't even begin to wrap my brain around this rabbit hole. Of course people will be driven to improve their lives, especially when they are in an environment in which it is not conducive to their personal evolution. Human beings are suppose to be free, but it takes a lot of work to be free. Sometimes Dad has to leave the family to go grab some grub. I will say that as technology improves, internet keeps growing in undeveloped Countries, and people no longer have to count on "regular" institutions to become educated the collective consciousness of the World should rise. Also, when Politicians start realizing that it's in their best interest for Joe from Haiti to be just as educated as his children, because Joe may very well be the genius that solves his daughters rare life threatening disease. Of course the realization that we are all interconnected would be huge, but this would take a tinge of yellow thinking to solve these huge problems deliberately and systemically.

Teaching and talking about self actualization, evolution, growing, and developing oneself is definitely worth talking about for no other reason then you are retaining the information a lot more deeply when you set out to teach that which you have learned. It is important to have an outlet to regurgitate the information in which you are learning so that it gets more deeply ingrained into your brain housing group. Besides, if I don't lead the conversation into something worthwhile then gossiping will pursue or someone will start talking about Kim Kardashian or something like this-which theres nothing wrong with in of itself but I'd say those topics are not going to get anyone anywhere. That's why I like to bring up subjects about things that I have learned through books, videos, courses, etc. so that I can learn more deeply. In other words if you have no outlet (journaling, forums, speaking, etc.) for your knowledge then you will not be able to grasp as much. I'd say however, that if you get triggered if someone is not paying attention, or you hold too strongly to something, or you are getting annoyed at the level of consciousness of those that you are communicating with, or maybe you become too rigid or overly dogmatic, then you are doing it wrong and you may have to check yourself-which I have to do, every so often.

This is great, use this playful energy to go out and experiment harnessing masculine qualities. Be assertive and see how it feels, set boundaries and see how it feels, pursue truth, work on your confidence, define your purpose and drive hard every day to get work done, you can even approach and communicate with someone you are attracted to and ask for a phone number. You may be aligned with this and you may not-but give yourself permission to go out and experience the Universe in all its glory. The whole idea is that you are not repressing/suppressing masculine qualities due to social conditioning, traumas, fears, etc.-of course only you know your truth.

This is huge, if you can harness the strength to feel things fully like a passing wave it will come and it will go. It is the resistance that is the killer. A true Warrior will sit in his room and cry his fucking eyes out and sit there and FEEL. As soon as you get over this, go ahead and turn the wrenches on yourself and ask why are you in need of someone else's validation of you. You are already complete as is, you are already powerful, and you are already capable, or else you wouldn't be here right now.

Probably, only because you are asking. I am not saying it's bad that you are asking, but this is your reality or else you wouldn't be asking. All I can say is go ahead and get this out of your system-either way you will get something meaningful from it. Learn as much as you can, and use protection to prevent Pregnancy.

Cool, Thanks @dude

100% all your time and energy into it, self actualization is not a part time job. Do good work for good works sake, learn to harness your discipline, presence, develop relationship skills, grow, and learn. Self actualization doesn't care where you are at in life-work needs to get done. To encapsulate what I am saying is that Life Purpose/Self Actualization is not a part-time job it's something that you do in life, it's the constant turning the wrench on oneself in order to evolve. This is not an either/or thing-life in of itself is a journey to be experienced and to be learned through direct experience. Why can't you get good grades and also educate yourself? Why so much dichotomy? The Janitor in your school can probably teach you about a specific subject from his own experience and give you a doctoral dissertation on how, what, why something works. Why not go Meta and use school as a mechanism on how to learn how to learn. Life will give you opportunities it's just about realizing that everything is already right in front of you to be learned. Take the Life Purpose Course and learn and experience and develop and evolve-everything is intertwined anyway.

I agree, only be vulnerable if you already healed from that which you want to share. In other words you are at the end process of a “part” of you that will be healed or has already been healed. It does no good to be vulnerable when you haven’t really healed, and most people don’t know what to do in that situation so it’s uncomfortable for everyone.

This makes things very simple in life. Same philosophy as people are either making you better and growing you or they are not-nothing in between. Although, I had the insight the other day that there are no such things as "negative, bad" people and in fact sometimes they can teach you way more then your "friends." They are there for a purpose so that they can infiltrate your weaknesses and if you are smart you will pursue truth and reinforce these weaknesses so that they become strengths.

@Henkaipan You can check out ICC (Integral Coaching Canada). I plan on going through this course. Hope this helps.

This is great, because you are making great use of your time when you shower-having sort of a synergistic effect. What I have found with diet is if you can habitualize your diet, it makes it a lot easier. For example drinking a green smoothie every morning followed by oats. You can add different things to the oats such as chia, hemp, flax, nuts, berries, etc. It's a lot easier to stay on a diet if it becomes a routine, where as if you are waiting until the day of/hour of the probability of you eating something unhealthy increases. @Karlos Good Post, Thank You
