    The Step 1, mentioned in the video, is THE single most significant mindset shift that one can undergo. (Speaking from experience.) Thank you Zach for reaffirming my belief. ❤

    Have nothing to add on the video, here to just leave a comment of support to you, Zach. There is something really special about your demeanor, can't help but smile, such a pure soul. Thank you for the support you provide to your audience, this is a very important topic and I know that sometimes even if a stranger says he cares about you, it is a changer.

    I try to walk to as many places as I can, since it helps me get into this weird state between being alert and being meditative. For the first 10 minutes or so, my mind will keep thinking excessively about literally anything, but after those 10 minutes, it goes into a blank state for the next few minutes. It's really effective, not as a physical exercise but as a psychological exercise. And I think this is the case with any physical activity we perform. Our mind goes into a meditative state even when performing intense cardio, or lifting heavy weights.

    Great Video, living in the moment whilst also believing the future will get better is a great mindset to have.
    on another note, are you still doing Lucid Dreaming? If so is it helping you still?

    2:03 meditation is great, but I will say that when you are faced with a constant stream of situations outside of your control that keep you from having any true autonomy in your life and you’re just stuck dealing with it (i.e family stuff, etc), meditation does not change much. Speaking from spending the past several years doing so just to stay sane in my circumstances.

    • @Turtlpwr

      6:46 sometimes you keep asking for help but no one around you will listen. And you just keep going, because you don’t have any other choice.
