@Shiva OMG it is soooooo basic yet a majority of people seems to either not know or care...Blows my mind.

I can totally relate. I recently explored my biography some more and in-depth and found out that I pretty much had it figured out in my teens (intelligence-cycle of 11 years), so between 11 and 22 I made really good decisions, was mentally stable etc, and then I somehow lost that in my early 20ies and the years leading up to 33 are, in retrosepct, just a HUGE mess of distracting and numbing myself. I worked way to much on things that did not matter (on top of doing really good projects too), waisted enourmus amounts of time and money in relationships, was drinking too much etc. I feel that, very slowly, I'm getting back on track and often have the feeling of "wait a minute, I had this figured out already"....Pretty frustrating. About the limiting belief about the writing-stuff: I also have that, and, ironically, I made good money with freelance wrtiting but was sucked back into a paid job by my need to be of service to others (a former boss needed someone to fill a gap and I could and did)...Not that I think I should be a writer right now, but writing is certainly a strong side of mine and I still have the belief it would not monetize. So what did you do to egt rid of the limiting belief?

Well, I don't think palying a video games will provide a proper rest. Try to nap fpr 20 minutes? Or do a yoga nidra for 20 minutes, this will also rejuvenate you.

porridge:oats cooked in water with a bit of soy milk, some berries or fruit, some nuts and seeds for a topping. I sweeten with honey but that's optional of course.

Well done!

From someone with a lot of education and work in her twenties, I now for sure would choose travel and starting afresh with your studies.

Really? It has to be "bitches" in a video title?

Anyone experienced with the 4/3 rule? I think it's way easier for me to eat a day, and then not, and then eat again etc.

Haha, me too, excatly here...Well I have some, but I don't want to do the work so I put it off, but only for a bit.

Isn't there a one word from your own language that is fitting...?

I also don't see the point in paying rent, but also not in a mortgage for 30 years when I don't know what my life will look like in 30 months.... I had two properties so far, and sold both with a profit, which now allows me to do other things I want and need in life, but I would not currently buy again if I was not 200% sure I could make a profit again. Instead, try to find a cheaper rental?

I would try and work up the courage to tell your band mates that you want out. And then I'd go travel. As someone who made life decisions based on the wellbeing of others for far too long and lost most energy to a very successfull, but pretty pointless career I would advise you to listen closely and then do what your intuition is telling you. I'd heard all along. I just chose to look the other way, I chose to try to fit in to fulfill societys expections. None of it worked. Then it took even more courage to break out and shake it all off. You have both no time and all the time in the world! Since I don't know where I will end up, I focus of getting rid of the things I know I don't want. That has so far been: My marriage, my career, my house, a lot of distractions, a lot of stuff. I'm in the process of becoming a minimalist and I feel that the more stuff I rid myself off, the more the real "me" is able to emerge. Looking back I'm not sure if I would find the courage again to do all that. It for sure was a very lonely process and I had to let go of a ton of illusions and fantasy-versions of myself. Though the first phase of depression is over for now, I emerged on the other side and would say that I'm a fair bit happier than before.

I must say I did not really hear what you say in the video because I was so distracted by title and Logo of your channel: Why copy Leo? I'm pretty irritated by that: Why not go for a different name and branding? Personally I do think that is pretty lame. I'd take time and effort to come up with something uniquely yours. But that needs exactly that: time and effort. And from a marketing viewpoint this is really a bad choice. If you are to copy someone that obviously, it would have to be outstanding as not to come accross second best.

I'm about in the middle of the Life purpose course, may be a bit less. I quit my former career mid year in order to pursue my own path. While I feel I did not grasp my purpose fully yet, I realized while doing the course (and a parallel coaching) that I have a fairly clear vision of what I'll be doing for the next few years. It will probably be some part of my life purpose. So I got to work and started doing that. With all that comes with it (building a small business), I'm in over my head with work. In addition, another line of work opened up which will bring me good money and which I enjoy a lot too. It's consulting work (related both to my former career and to my new path) and it brings me good money. People just started to approach me and the ball kinda got rolling by itself. Long story short: I'll be more than busy setting up my business and start running it for the next 6 months while making an income with the consulting stuff. Is it ok to put the course on hold until then or is it too risky to never pick it up again? Should I just chip at it away every day a bit and finish the whole process now? Anybody else had this experience?

You quit in the exact moment where you really, really should not. I know it's hard but that is why you do it! I remember my introduction to Vipassana and it was HELL. Hell. It was (and is tot his day) the hardest I had to do ever. I went back for more a year after and I remember sitting on the train thinking WFT have I been thinking to do this again...The second time round was easier, but not by that much. I can't go anymore because I'm meditating with other techniques and they don't accept it, and that is fine. But I will say Vipassana was for sure groundbreaking for me because it shocked me into another dimension of being which I did not know existed before.

Try something out and then ask her if she likes it

I also recommend "the eight human talents" by Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa. It's ver good for beginners.

I'm torn. I want to say: Stick it out, 4-5 months really is no time at all. Then again I was never bullied or crippled by anxiety. But, If you have been bullied before it's likely an issue for you that will repeat itself, so you will have to work on that anyway. I would do both: Get through it, take the money, work on your issues, then head out of there with your equipment.

I sometimes think I better knew what to do at 23 than in my mid-thirties....I went to finally study psychology with 30 (!). Totally doable. Would not have gotten a word of it anyway with 20...

Have not finished the course yet but worked hard on my values...Surprisingly, two of my most prominent values up until today didn't make the cut anymore, therefore I think I've truly outgrown my former career 1) Consciousness 2) Courage 3) Gratitude 4) Clarity 5) Joy 6) Contribution/Impact 7) Nature 8) Personal Growth/ Self Actualsiation/ learning 9) Flexibility/ Adaptability 10) Simplicity /Grace

@Leo Gurathank you for coming up with the idea of the Solo retreats

Hey I'm currently in the Swiss Alps in a Solo-Retreat with the purpose of working on the life-purpose course (Day 5 today). Is anyone interested to hear about it? If so, I would write short summaries about my days.

I’ve realized that I can’t really talk about content of course, so I will just summarize the rest. First of all, when I saw Leo doing a solo-retreat I was immediately intrigued. I have been on many retreats before but never on my own. But come think of it, it really is the next logical step for me. I’m transitioning out of a NGO-career to start out on my own, so I felt after I finished work at the end of June I’d allocate some time to get accustomed to my new life (I also got a divorce, sold my appartment, moved to a new city and am basically living in a totally different reality than 2 years ago). I debated with myself whether to make it a meditation retreat, but then came up with focussing on the life-purpose content. I had found Leo and started on the course only several weeks before and had made some progress, but feared I might not prioritize it enough with other things coming my way. Situation: I’m in a chalet in the mountains. While there are other holiday homes nearby, almost noone is up here. I do love the mountains and the fresh air. I go for strolls around the little lake that is nearby. Conditions: Up until yesterday it was cold and windy and rained a lot. I stayed inside most of the time and kept the fire going. Now it’s summery weather and I could meditate outside for the first time this morning. Rules: No hiking! I deliberately did not bring my hiking boots as to deprive me of the possibility to go on on of the longer hikes. Strolls around the house are fine. No entertainment. Everything I read or watch must be related to the life purpose content. No texting, no phonecalls etc. No complicated food-logistics. I do a combination of porridge for breakfast and a mono diet of mung beans, rice and vegetables (a recipe by Yogi Bhajan) and it works great. Insights so far A retreat-setting definitely helps getting some pretty serious work done on the course, and thinking longer about it. Had quite a breakthrough with one of the visualization exercises on day 2. Read „the big leap“. Instead on rushing on tot he next book (I have 15 here with me just to have the choice) I take time to repeat the important content from the book and to think about it. Meditate way more than I thought I would because the need to do more increases. I feel content and happy most of the time. I cope way better with being all alone 24/7 than I thought I would. I have a lot of energy and it gradually increases. Trouble to wind down to be able to sleep. Wake up most of nights around 3 am hearing all kinds of noises, unsure what is real or unreal. Less is definitely more. It doesn’t matter how much you get done, staying in your own space is whats counting. I’m way slower that I though I’d be but it feels exactly right. How I start the day (Alarm goes off at 8) A Kundalini Yoga Kriya 3 different Kundalini Yoga meditations: One I always do, one I do for 90 days and one I do for 120 (today is day 40 for both of those), takes me about an hour 20 minutes doing nothing (just learned that technique) 10 minutes meditating on the "ultimate sucess mantra" from "the big leap" 5 minutes reviewing my values however long it takes to review the work I’ve done on the course Day 6 today and I have another night, full day and night before to go before I need to head back

Hi Paan I'm a Kundalini Yoga student since almost 6 years now. I also did several teacher trainings. KY found me after I was finishing up several years of psycho analysis and had hit a plateau with that. Being an analytical person by nature the analytic work surely helped me to build the ability to reflect, but I was ready for more. While I went back to university to study psychology because I wanted that background, for my personal development, Kundalini Yoga was the entry ticket. In Sweden I would attend a seminar or better yet, training with Guru Dass or Guru Dharam. If you want to buy a Dvd you might start with Gurmukh, also her book "the 8 human talents" would be a good start. There is a lot on YouTube of course but I'm not comfortable with recommending anything since I don't follow it and hence don't know whats good and not. I higly recommend finding a teacher in your area and go to a class before you start working at home. Better yet, I myself would start with a full-on retreat to get the whole experience. You might check out 3ho, which is the Kundalini umbrella organisation. What it did for me (in no particular order) It made me realize that I was more or less holding my breath all my life. So I'm learning to breathe and as a result my depressive phases became less strengthend my ability to commit (for ex. to do the same meditation for 40 days, 90, 120 or 1000) taught me (the hard way) my limits (hello, complex of overachieving) helped me to get rid of my food addiction, sports addiction, alcohol addiction and codepency. And will probably cure numerous more I don't even know yet I have . I personally did Sat Dharams "Beyond Addiction" Immersion program 3 times already and will continue to do so. I found access to my emotions sensing energies in buildings, countries, groups... made me open to other techniques like holotropic breathing, energy work, vipassana, etc. sharpened my Intuition and continues to futher sharpening it I'm more authentic in relationships and communication I found access to my divine feminine and so much more! Try it! It's just one oy many techniques you may try of course, but it will change your life.
