- Self Improvement as it is commonly though of is bullshit. But that's good news, and today we're talking about why!
The common conception of self improvement is based on an assumption. You're unhappy where you are in life, and so you need to "improve yourself" to the point at which you are able to get whatever you feel you are currently missing in life.
The core assumptions are then that A., it's "right" for us to not currently be happy with life, and B., that external things are responsible for our sense of inner wellbeing.
I think that both of these assumptions fall apart upon scrutiny. So in this video, we discuss self improvement as it is commonly thought of, why it's bullshit, what you can do instead, and finally how by seeing the nature of the "self" we're trying to improve - that is, our CONCEPT of ourselves - we can start to see that rather then "improving" our self-concept, we need to free ourselves from it.
It looks like so much fun just walking through nature and filming videos like these. Quality content💯
It really is!
Thank you.. I’ve been thinking I “need” and looking for someone to “show” me something in order to feel loved and then I’ll be “happy” and fulfilled, when really it’s my own self talk and love that I need to achieve this. 🤦♀️❤🙏
I've absolutely had that feeling before! It's often hammered into us at a pretty early age, so it's no wonder that it can be challenging to overcome it. The tendency to feel self-loathing, or unlovability or helplessness or whatever it might be, that runs so deep and feels so "real" that we can be blind to what actually IS "real". Which is that we often have FAR more power and freedom in life then we think we do.
Your microphone is INCREDIBLE! I mean, it sounds like you're in a quiet room...how the?? Just wanted to applaud the technical stuff- I'm surprised the fast walking didn't throw me off! Video looks and sounds great...AND the message is, of course, spot on : ) Beautiful!
Thank you!
I use a Rode VideoMic Go II (amazing for the price) and then do a bit of postprocessing on the audio as well, if you're curious!
@@andrewvanhoff I wish I knew more about post audio stuff! I kind of just close my eyes, click some levels up & down, and hope for the best😆
Basically self-destruction as well as addition by subtraction
Darn good. Whenever I am depressed, I think what's wrong with me.
Guesswhat.....nothing. buying g that is what's wrong. Have you ever noticed that the ones who are fixing it are selling the solution to a problem that never existed, kinda like snake oil...to me
Great video! I sent you a DM on IG
