Hello, I want to change. I understood the principles explained in Leo's Videos and I want to apply them. That's why I'll make 1 little change to my habits everyday. I'm French so sorry for my English. I'll try to describe my experience. Day 1: The change today (I'm starting with easy ones, those I already kind of started) No more TV/Netflix/Video divertisment I already have a good level in not watching TV. I uninstalled Netflix app. I unsubscribed of all the useless channels I was subscribed to on youtube. I kept educational and inspirational ones. The reason: I need more time in my days to accomplish my dreams The difficulties: EVERYONE watch teasing crap and let that sh*t turned on / It was hard to quit some youtubers I was following since a long time / Some Netflix shows were awesome... If a third season of better call saul comes out... how could I continue not to watch Netflix The motivation: More time mean more productivity plus: no more brainwashing made by brands' ads
-
Day 6: Read some pages every day Reason: The reasons are plenty. Knowledge, better writing, calm... Difficulties: I never succeed to enjoy reading Motivation: The more you read, the speeder at reading you get

Hello everyone ! Like almost everybody here (I think) I try to self actualize. It was easy for a moment. I began by doing smart changes that everyone see as healthy. For instant, I stopped eating added sugar. My family and friends were happy for me "oh you're doing great, you are loosing some pounds, great job, keep it going". But then I continued on my path of self actualisation, and people don't understand anymore what I'm doing, they think the new changes are not worthy / stupid, they don't respect them. For instance, I chose to stop watching TV or useless movies etc. My family can't stop inviting my to see movies or tv, and if I say no (which I do most of the time) they don't understand and take that as an insult, as if i refused to be with them, as if I said I don't like them... How to deal with that ? PS: sorry for my English, I'm French

@Philip I don't want a quick solution, I want to fix this in the long term. That's why I asked here. I explained to my belongings that I was making changes in my life for the good, I asked them not to misunderstand my reaction to their propostions. They seemed sad about it...

Day 3: Posture, stand straight, don't cross legs etc. Reason: I don't want to hav back problems in the future Difficulties: I have to watch out about this constantly Motivation: I feel more alert by doing this it's good !

Hi, I failed. I'm a student. It's my third yeard, and I failed it. Last year I was given the choice between different types of studies. I'm passionate by programming and I could choose to study to become an engineer in programmation. But I wanted to learn new things so I chose the hard way, something I'm not that attracted to... I like it, but I'm not good at it. And now I'm there, marking A+ in programmation but D, E or F in other fields. The classes are interesting, but I just suck at it and it's hard for me to learn and progress... I already know this year is a failure but I continue to study as before, because I love to learn, but I'm bad at craming for exams. I have a hard time to swallow my failure. I try to listen to what people say and not caring, but everyone is making it sound and look horrible. Okay, I failed then what ? I'll start again the third year and this time I'll succeed it... So what, what is the problem ? Why am I feeling guilty? Why is that bringing so much anxiety in my life? How to relieve it? Please help me to Overcome and find a new point of view upon my failure. Thanks. Sorry for my English, I'm French.

@Philip @Rodrigo Just tou clarify things, watching TV was an example... I have to spare time with my family to content them but this time is spared doing things tha go against my self actualisation
-
@Rodrigo I can't be in front of a TV and do nothing, you can't close your eyes and your ears. So maybe you're some kind of super evolved man who can deconnect from his senses, but I'm not I have to deal with it, and even by not paying attention to TV you hear and see it...

@Falk I'm kind of out already

I'm 20 years old

@Rodrigo I think you don't understand that the problem is not that I don't want to be with my family, I do want, but it's that being with them mean doing things that go against my self-actualisation
-
Day 2: Today, I stop eating any added sugar Reason: I'm too fat, Difficulties: It's some sort of addiction Motivation: i want to be skinny mainly to enjoy sports Maintaining previous changes: I dodged TV today, like a ninja Ideas for future changes: meditation, visualisation, exercise ... Feel free to suggest some

@Rodrigo I don't want to waste my time watching tv when I could much more. @Gmork You're right, I have to prepare some sort of short explaination, what's hard is explaining without hurting their ego... @Saarah ^^ "okay let's what's TV, but I choose, let's watch some of actualized.org video" that technique could work thanks @charlie2dogs What you say is clear and hard to admit, but true... It's hard to let your family behind you. I would have liked them to go on the path with me.

@Extreme Z7 That's where the trick is. I watch those videos... And I don't want to cut my family out of my life, even if it's what I'm suppose to do.

What is very disturbing is that, knowing that, knowing that it's okay, and without thinking what over people may think about it, I'm stil feel bad. It's something that happen to me, not somthing I inflict to me.

Hi, I'm French, sorry for my English. I accepted the fact that there is no "me" or "free choices" but then I was wondering, how can "I" want anything if "I" does not exist. It's hard to explain... How could we want if we have no choices. The problem is, I we don't want anything why would we do anything ?

@SkyPanther His this undeniable ? How do you explain it ? -
Maximillien replied to Maximillien's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Kinda oxymoronic -
Maximillien replied to Maximillien's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@SkyPanther I already had a switch in my way to think. From "I choose to" to me doing stuff and understanding it was not a choice but a consequence, and my ego was trying to appropriate those stuff as if they were choices. It was hard time. During a couple of month, I felt kind of bad about it. I know it should be greatful, but life seem so vain when you realize about the "self" and "choices" being fake. I know it's part of the journey, but is there anyway to stop feeling it's ankward ? -

A part of me (well "me") is embracing the journey... another part was going in for the pride and the recognition, what appear now to be nonsense... -
Maximillien replied to Maximillien's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Then, how to be proud of what I do, if it's just how it was supposed to happen... It's not my choice or desire to self actualize.. If I do, I can't be proud of it, it's just because I stumble upon leo's videos... -
