@zeroISinfinity Pretty sure it already is a tread. Also, I have posted my vision board like 5 times already ?? Perhaps I should stop ?

@mandyjw On it! Now I am curious to see yours ? This is my full board. Whenever something comes to mind I write it on a piece of paper and put in on there. Than when I am more sure about I make a drawing out of it ?

@Jonac On it! ??? @mandyjw Yess, Ive got a huge board right in front of my bed ?. Do you mean the desire for God, or the desire to cry? This is part of the board. Yeah I actually have a journal, but haven’t used it for a while. Will pick it back up, thank you! Its wierd though, because when I cry there usually isn’t a particular image or event that arises. It’s just sadness that wants to leave my body. I can feel my heart in my chest ”shaking” it out @cetus56 Funny you say that, because after I posted, I had a little crying sesh. And right at that time a guy who I never talk to sent me a “funny video” of a guy crying through Facebook messenger. I’m hardly even on Facebook. LOL And wait a minute! The video was about how he had been “a bad boy, and thus not receive any presents for christmas”. ?

Thank you for all your efforts and amazing advice. I was just reading some replies and was hit by the wisdom behind it. Not just the quality of advice, but the genuine care behind it. Crazy, if you think about it, to have this resource where you can ask questions and personalized high quality advice is given for free! Its like google on steroids ? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Hmm I have two start-ups. I get flashes of doubt quite often. These things help for me: - Think long-term. Be in it for the long haul. Making a 5 year commitment for example, to this endevour. It helps to see setbacks in the bigger perspective. - Focus on the process. See whether your daily habits are in line with your bigger vision. Think this out, would someone taking the actions I take end up where you want to be? If the answer is yes, than ground yourself in that. Remind yourself in moments of doubt that you are on the path. - Related to the focussing on the process, is tracking process. If you have an overview of things you have done, small achievements you gained, you won’t be swapped away by a flash of anxiety as much. - Develop self-esteem. This one is huge, but is a longer project. 6 pillars of self-esteem by Nathaniel Brandon, with some of his stem-completions in the morning? Oh boy. Thats powerful. You can do it my friend ?

+1

6 pillars of self-esteem - Nathaniel Brandon. Life changing book. Read it multiple times and did the stem completion excercises every morning for a year or so. It is such a deep dynamic that spreads out into every aspect of your life. Can’t recommend it enough.

“How to make people like me” might be the wrong question. It implies an internalization of external expectations. Even if you mold yourself into something that is others approve of, you won’t be happy. how about : “how can I be my authentic self around people?” An inside out approach will work better I think. Connect to yourself. Accept yourself. Shine yourself out into the world. See who starts to resonate with you.

Paul Chek is an amazing teacher when it comes to health. He talks about nutrition and fitness mostly. However, he is all about holistic health, therefore he also branches out to other personal development/spiritual topics. His teachings are build on a deep spiritual embodiment and turquoise level Spiral development. He has a youtube channel where you can watch free videos. He also offers online courses and is a writer. I just ordered his book; How to eat, move and be healthy. Excited to read it ? Here are a few short video’s that give you an impression: A lot more practical workouts and stuff to be found also. These are just to give an idea what he is about.

I used my gap year to install good habits. Then, when uni starts, you will build on top of a good fundament. A lot harder to build habits when most of your energy goes into university. Also, figuring out what you really want, your purpose, creating a vision.

The Netherlands rocks, walk into any smartshop, get yourself a bunch of shrooms, and you are ready to roll ? Looking for an appartment atm, when I have one Ill host you ?

Last week I was laying in bed after somewhat of a slow day. All of a sudden I felt the urge to shake. For a minute or two I started to shake quite heavily. At some point the shaking was more happening to me than from me, if that makes sense. After the shaking I felt a burst of creative energy. I started drawing out models and insights like a mad man for the next hour and a half. After that the creativity faded and what I was left with a sense of unease, causing me to not sleep for a few hours. Over the last half a year I have had around 5 of these type of experiences. It’s not a major theme, but just curious whether its kundalini energy or something else.

Cool, thank you! Ill order the books and go from there. Otherwise I know where to find you ?

@Dumuzzi Oke thank you! Well, my life had been disrupted for a while ? Ive felt third eye openings before and I remember an instance a few years ago where I felt my entire spine “lightning up”, as well as the top of my head. and more such stuff. A good idea indeed to read up, because Im mostly in the dark atm. I see he has a lot of books, any recommendations for where to start?

That video also hit me in the balls lol. Yeah, overal it just becomes increasingly hard to weene of societies tit as you get older and take on more responsibilities. There is no artificial line at 22 where you are at once fucked. However, when you do get yourself into that first 40h/week job you’re on a certain trajectory. I’m 23 myself and for the last years a big focus has been to develop something for myself, my own business. Really happy Ive been chipping away at this whilst studying, so now I have some momentum. I imagine if you start out cold after your studies its an uphill battle. Everyones situation is different though, and definitely don’t turn it into a limiting belief.

@trancedreamer If you come to The Netherlands, hit me up ??

Just had this idea of the distinction between self-help and spirituality. Practicing my visual thinking skills; Let me know what you think ?❤️

Ohh yeah, for sure, 80% what Im doing is straight up survival, than 18% self-help. The last 2% goes into spirituality on a good day.

Lol, I meant its not the same. Self-help I tried to depict as focussing on this bubble within consciousness, the self. Trying to change it’s content. Spirituality as the dissolving of the self, letting to of the limitations and beliefs. Letting infinitely loving consciousness run the show.

@bejapuskas I sent you a personal message, thought that works better ?

@Sahil Pandit Thank you brother! @d0ornokey Yup, thats where the habits and tracking stuff at the bottom comes into play. @skywords Tbh, when I first read your comment it annoyed me a bit. Now that I have read it a couple of times I see what you are pointing at, thank you ?? @Bill W Thanks Bill ❤️ @hyruga I guess the meaning of being all in on life evolves as we evolve. Ultimately it leads to spirituality. It might start off with going all in on your football game. For me its linked to an insight I had during a trip, thats hard to describe. Putting all of your heart into it comes closest. @Ero Thank you, good luck on your journey as well! @modmyth Cool, hit me up if you want some help with that ? @universe That means a lot. Actually hardly did any drawing before this, and never saw myself as “the creative type”, now I love it ? Im tracking two things. One is the activities I do on a daily basis. When I do the habits that are shown, I give points. I keep this daily in my agenda, which looks as follows: Somewhat chaotic, but works for me ? The other is the inflow and outflow of money and its sources. Thats actually something Im starting in 2020.

Have you made the fundamental commitment yet to give life your all? To put your full heart and soul into your life? To go all out even if it does not go your way? I am. Just added this badboy to my dream board. No going back, I am riding this bitch until the wheels fall off.

@bejapuskas I’m not an expert in the field of psychology, but I did start, and quit, a Master in Work and Organizational psychology. My guess is that there is indeed a lot of unnecessary and flawed theory in psychology as taught in most universities. There is definitely degrees though. Personally, I would choose a more individual route. Doing courses/training with experts. Maybe an expert takes you under their wing. Reading tons of high quality books. Experimenting and learning as you go. Im quite convinced that if you would put a budget similar to that which would cost you a bachelor and master degree, you can get a lot more value from it. The question is though, can you handle that degree of responsibility? Are you willing to take that type of risk? There is a good reason most people don’t take a route like that. University/society brings safety and security. It sets your lower limit, but also an upper limit. Amazing that you are thinking about this though at your age. I actually started giving workshops in highschools centered around vision creation and possibilities after school. If you want to talk more, hit me up ?
