How interesting.

Since Christmas is coming in a little over a month, do you guys think there are any physical objects of any value? For the past few years, I have just asked for cash. I have actually been working on giving away and donating most of the things that I don't use because I find a minimalist approach to be more attractive. Maybe this is a strange question but I just need more perspective.

I just feel lost. I don’t know how to introduce spiral dynamics or any other higher conciousness resources to those around me. I’m just not sure what to do besides learn and improve myself. When I go out into my life I can’t show any of the work I’ve done really. It’s confusing.

Is it possible for me to coexist as a orange/green having lots of blue influences from my parents? I’m a Christian and working to advance to yellow and I’m just wondering if these two can coexist together? I’m sure there will be some conflict but is there anything that you’re sure will get in the way? Do I have to fully disconnect from my religion to move up the spiral? Also my girlfriend pretty much only watches entertainment in her free time and I want to introduce to spiral dynamics to her and I’m not sure how to go about it. It just feels lonely and hard to express it to anyone. I want to spend time with her it just feels like a waste of time.

@Aquarius @from chaos into self I've been trying to focus on myself and not change them. I realize it might just confuse them if I start talking about higher consciousness things. Not to say that my parents are dumb, they understand some green level concepts they just don't embody it because they are at blue.

I've changed to a mostly plant-based diet. I still have whey every day which I would love to change to pea protein but that has glyphosate. I would much rather get acne than cancer so if it were to ever happen. But mostly whole foods there are just a few things here and there. Yes, I love my parents a lot. They have done a lot for me, I just really dislike some of their habits and I want to make sure I keep the consciousness to recognize it's not good and not go down the same path.

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I'll definitely make sure to journal and think about this more. And aurum, I have expressed some of this to them I just don't want to ruin their fun. I know nothing would come out of me telling my dad to not watch TV for example.

@Preety_India Ok, thanks I‘ll continue to try my best. Good luck on your journey as well.

@Preety_India Thanks, I am currently keeping a journal and I’m currently on a trip right now and it’s just not that interesting to them but I don’t know how to explain that I’m interested in self improvement and learning.

Hello everyone, I’m coming across this issue of being able to express how I feel and the changes that are happening to me. I realize I’m only a teenager but here are some thoughts. - Fed up with how my parents only talk about immediate needs like food or entertainment - Complaining about little things or condemning people Those are the main two. I would prefer for these traits to not rub off on me. I’ve tried to distance myself somewhat but then they get upset and it’s hard to find community elsewhere that I can physically interact with. I’m not sure how much or how I express any of this to them. I’ve started cleaning up my diet and expressed to them when they eat out that I’ll come along but not participate in terms of the eating part. I would appreciate any advice or video of Leo’s that I’m not aware of. Thanks so much.

How do you find the correct balance between school and self actualization? Is it necessary to invest enough time to get all As? Will this improve work ethic over time?

Thanks, guys, I appreciate your feedback. I also have a counselor I go to every two weeks where I can talk about any problems I'm having.

How do I bring up philosophy in a conversation without it sounding fake or insignificant? How do I exist around other people who don't do any of these same practices and still feel community?

I feel like no one around me wants to do the same and it’s hard to find purpose when hanging out with them. I’m a teenager and just got back into Leo’s content and am trying to adjust more to avoiding entertainment and not falling into the bad habits of my parents. If any of you have been through the same or have any advice you to could offer me it would be greatly appreciated. Also one other thing, how do I make sure I’m not wasting my time during self-improvement. Is there any checkup I can really do to make sure I’m on the right track?
