You were the perfect one for this! Your bravery on the ground left no doubt in my mind that you would soar!!!! Thank you for being so inspirational and congratulations on officially becoming the newest yes theory member!
That was so amazing to watch you Staffan.... the way you motivated yourself and the way they pranked you it was all amazing..... the biggest lesson to learn here is to just do what you can and just leave everything to that God, he will take care of everything else. It's been more than 5 years, I'm here in this channel and in each video I get a different perspective of life. Love you guys🫂❤️ Gokul saha India
You guys are amazing! It’s been 15 years since I had A dirtbike accident and became a paraplegic. After the fact I didn’t wanna do anything I just wanted to sit at home and be by myself. you guys gave me the motivation to go out and try new things. I have the seat discomfort flag on my door so every time I walk out it reminds me to do something out of my comfort zone that day. And since this marks the 15th year I would love to go skydiving. It scared the mess out of me but I want to overcome that fear. If you guys were ever in Arkansas I would love to skydive with you guys. It would be a dream come true!! Much love💜
Hey bro !! It's my 10 year mark this year also! Seek discomfort has brought a new meaning to life! Skydiving is in my bucket list also! Glad to make it happen with you!
this has 199 likes i will leave it at that cause your were a shredder and that's Travis Pastranas number!!!! good for you man!!! I rode FMX for like 13 years and now i just ride DH MTB, the crashes dont hurt as bad, sometimes!!!
I got chills when Staffan said "a head full of fears has no space for dreams" and I am seriously considering getting a tattoo of that quote as it resonates with me so much. PLEASE make merch with that quote on it.
Shoutout to the cameraman during the skydive! Amazing moments captured on camera during and after the fall - I could feel Staffan's energy through the screen. Congratulations on facing your fear, and what an incredible connection you all have.
I genuinely cried during this video. I feel so lost in life lately. Full of fears and doubts. I have so much desire to seek discomfort yet I stay stagnant scared. I have to break out of this bubble for myself. “A head full of fears has no space for dreams” is exactly what I needed. You guys are so amazing and the joy and motivation you bring to my life is exceptional. I love what you guys do! Keep showing the world how to seek discomfort. ❤
@@vangogh7049 this one and Amar’s skydiving video from a few months ago literally brings me to tears every time I watch. It’s not only a beautiful video, but it’s a motivating moment for me. Yet here I am still staying still scared to try anything new. Scared to take the leap of faith. I wish someone could just push me so I’m forced to seek the discomfort. 😂
A head full of fears has no room for dreams. well done guys, you give motivation to thousands of people to live their lives breaking thru what they think is possible and whats not.
Staffan is a great addition to the Yes Theory family, he has such a positive energy. This video was great and because of it I now have the courage to sky dive too. I usually do "If laugh I..." vídeos for my channel and sky diving has been on my mind since forever. 😅
This is crazy, I don't think anyone can truly understand how emotional I got. Growing up in the region this was filmed in and getting to look at that landscape almost my whole life this went straight to my heart. I once went paragliding there and it really is one adventure I'll never forget. Seeing Staffan overcome his fear and having an amazing time is beautiful and inspiring. Plus The Mont-Blanc in the background I don't know why but tears rolled down my cheeks. Thank you everyone from Yes Theory, the Yes Fam. Thank you for inspiring millions of people. Merci beaucoup pour inspirer des millions de personnes.
I can’t help but cry 😭 I felt every emotion Stefan felt: fear, anxiety, bravery and bliss. The video really encapsulated all of that and I feel like I was there with him. I would definitely love to experience such insanely exhilarating experience one day. Kudos to YES THEORY for another masterpiece 💕
I'm from Hungary and the discomfort I'm seeking is moving from a small rural town in Hungary to the very center of Munich. The change won't be easy but I'm eager to embrace everything that comes with it. I have actually just started the navigating change course on Headspace. I have never tried guided meditation before, but now I'm hooked. Skydiving has been a drem of mine ever since I was little. I have already made up my mind and as soon as I can afford it, I will get my skydiving licence. To get the opportunity to do my very first skydive at 18 would be so incredible!!
Hey andras, i'm also from Hungary. I moved from Vac to the UK when i was 7. I'm not sure how old you are, but you have nothing to worry about. It was hard for me at the very begining but it is something that gets very easy and normal over time. In the future you will look back at how you were feeling and think of it as an achievement, and positive event!
Heya I hope you’re doing well! I‘ve lived my whole life in Munich (19 years) so if you have any questions etc you can totally just ask me! I’m not in Munich at the time since I’m currently on my gap year in New Zealand. But anyway don’t hesitate to ask whatever :))
As a skydiver, I am so proud of him for facing his fears and pushing through that barrier. Skydiving absolutely changed my life. It made me a better person. Not a day goes by that I regret taking that first leap. I wish more people would go and do it. The most free a person can ever feel.
I agree it gives you a whole new perspective on what you can do. Every time I think of the feeling I got after my first non-tandem jump, I just want to go back and fly again. Blue skies my friend
thats some next level mental gymnastics your doing "jumping out of a plane changed my life" like ther are plenty of other things that have a far greeter impact on your existence, like any real form of exercise, and not some crackhead adrenaline rush were you risk death
@@hoodyk7342 What a statement lol. Calling someone a crackhead adrenaline junkie is simply unfair characterization for someone who skydives as a hobby. You are ignorant to the fact that simply driving to the grocery store is more dangerous than skydiving. You act like we are in the 1900s when instead gear has come a long way making it extremely rare for a fatality. Yeah obviously exercise is healthy and can improve your mental health but you can’t compare that to the benefits of skydiving. Exercising doesn’t take you out of your comfort zone and won’t conquer any fears. You act like we are all hiking to Mount Everest. do a lil research
I started crying when they jump, and the upbeat music is on. You can tell how happy Staffan was, he's like a newborn. Thank you Yes Theory. Your productions are gold. 11/24/2023
Watching this video again, I'm on the high-speed train from Barcelona to Madrid. I've been inspired so much by Yes Theory since watching you guys in Oct 2023, I have traveled to 7 new countries since then. Thank you Yes Theory. 08/29/2024
I was a professional skydiving videographer and I found that fascinating. I've flown wingsuits and filmed hundreds of tandems, but never a wingsuit tandem. The skill level of the chick flying (it was the chick doing outside video, because she high fived him on the ground) was awesome. Such a high skill level. She was also wearing a lead weighted belt to help with her fall rate.
This is insane, a stranger who you met on the street is pure Yes Theory. Putting himself past discomfort without question. I've never seen such bravery. Amazing as always.
I friggin' love Staffan's energy. "Fear doesn't prevent death, but it does prevent life". To be absolutely terrified and still go through with it - fighting his own mind, really seeking discomfort - that's what this entire thing is about. Such a perfect addition to the team.
I got to know you guys through people I met while seeking discomfort, travelling alone, and trying to make friends, which ended up happening so nicely. Today watching Staffan skydiving, I've learned that knowing how to breathe is just something that I needed in my life, and that's why I decided to use Headspace and start using your package as it seems very beneficial. Thanks for being out there guys and well done Staffan!
As someone with a massive fear of heights myself, this is so inspiring to watch. Huge Shoutout to Staffan for going through with it despite his fear, and also something you cannot underestimate is the huge impact positive support from your friends has on this! Very well done :)
I use to terrified of any sort of heights, even parking garages, but thru persistent I was able to go up in the space needle completely fine. I know this doesn't sound like a huge accomplishment, but for me with my anxiety of heights, it was a real accomplishment for me.
I can’t even stand on a ladder and look down without getting nervous. Nevertheless I did a tandem jump last year and was so blown away by the experience that I wanted to do a license afterwards. I just had my first AFF jump today. There were times I was fucking terrified during the two days of ground school. My hands were sweating, dry mouth and everything when it finally came to jump today. But I did it and it was so much better and relaxed than I imagined. The mix of anxiety, calm, focus and dopamine is incredible. And you’ll be so fucking proud of yourself once you land your first jump…
Crying tears of joy, pride and inspiration. You guys are doing it, living it. You continue to be such a source of pure positive energy in this world. Thank you all, so grateful. ✨
I have started the SEEK DISCOMFORT package and I absolutely love it. I am so happy you guys are sending so much positivity and love to so many people that need it. I myself have been using headspace every day for a year now and it has helped me go through my biggest disruptive change in my life!! Lots of love!!! My story will be told one day. Everyday turning my experience into a blessing and hopefully bless others too!!!
Good to see I was not the only one crying while watching this video. I went solo skydiving 8 times in summer 2022, unfortunately weather, schedule and (mostly) fear have been preventing me to jump again ever since. But watching this episode... Man, I still remember to this day how I felt after every jump. Just like Staffan: on the other side of your biggest fear... are the most blissful feelings and moments of your life. I'm French and even after 8 skydiving jumps, I still cannot embrace my fear of heights. But this video motivated me so much to go back and skydive. And also try wingsuit one day. Thank you YES THEORY. Your content, your community, your spirit, your mindset... All that is a true blessing to humanity.
This video was a rollercoaster of emotions from a spectator standpoint. You made us feel like we were there experiencing it with Stephan, absolutely amazing work guys! I say this with tears in my eyes.
"Fear doesn't prevent death like fear prevents life, so I'm stopping myself from living and I just want to - break - this barrier and feel more alive than I have ever felt before" and then I started crying because Staffan made me realize how afraid I am of dying and how that fear has been stopping me from skydiving or scuba diving or anything remotely thrilling because my fear of death has held me back. Thank you Staffan for changing my perspective on that, it's time to stop stopping myself from living
Good job Staffan! I absolutely love that quote, " a head full of fears has no space for dreams". If I may add a little to it, "a head full of fears has no space for achieving dreams". I have a lot of dreams but fear has kept me back from almost all of them so I 100% agree!
"Fear stands for : face everything and rise". Had tears towards the end.. Such an incredible video as always, thank you for everything ! I can't even express my full gratitude for all the emotions and inspiring thoughts your videos make me feel and think.
Hi im from the US. This year i'm looking to overcome my discomfort in believing in myself. Throughout my life i've always had doubts about my self and that i'm never good enough.
This made me cry with joy and excitement for Staffan and how much courage he showed while overcoming his biggest fear. You inspire me and motivate me to continue to embrace and love the same mission as y’all’s. Seek discomfort means the world to me and has helped me overcome the small fears I struggle with on a daily like anxiety and depression.I would love to begin the seek discomfort package. I feel like it could be the push I need to overcome and begin my own personal healing journey.
This is the channel of which videos I’ve cried the most. I have a crying streak. The most biggest thank you for what you guys do and making it possible to expierience these journeys with you through emotions and discomfort seeking. We all grow together. I come from a small country Latvia, been watching your videos for the longest time, extremely grateful for all the free headspace subrictions and knowledge as well. Flying to me associates with complete surrender and ableness to just let the wind take you. Thats why birds are here to remind us just that. As I’ve started the package and cried my eyes out, I’ll let this video sink in. All love🌱☀️
Really loved the authenticity and love shown in the video! Stefan you are such a beautiful soul! I’m from Melb Australia and the discomfort I’m seeking this year is running my first marathon! it is sure to be a challenge but I’m sure the breath work and mindfulness skills from the Headspace program will be very valuable! Thank you again for the wonderful video! :)
This is so powerful! I wrote this down on a piece of paper and put it on my desk as a daily reminder - "A head full of fears has no space for dreams". I'm seeking discomfort by speaking up and doing things differently. I've spent years just trying to conform and that feels comfortable. Now let's make some dreams happen!
God this was truely amazing to see Staffan overcome. Weirdly enough, I dont have any physical fears apart from a severe fear of vomit which stops me doing so many things. Seeing staffan get ill when Ammar told him was really hard to watch because i cant ecen imagine how nervous you have to be to get like that. But he overcame it and wow what an incredible fear. Totally seeking discomfort. So proud!!
I also have emetophobia! It was so hard to watch Staffan feel ill when he found out but I knew I needed to finish the video because it would be magical
As someone with a huge fear of heights (I can't even go up escalators without some fear kicking in), the fact the Staffan pushed through this fear to accomplish what he did is really inspiring. Skydiving is something I've always wanted to do and maybe this is the final push I needed to do it
You can do it. I went for my son and found an 18,000ft jump zone to make sure when I died, I wasn't just broken. Sh*tty thinking, I know. On the other side of terror is bliss; as a bonus, I'm no longer afraid of heights.
@@suzonlommel3737 I'll be honest the second thing holding me back is because I'm a bigger guy, 6'6 and decently built so I am over the weight limit for a lot of tandem skydiving places near me. I'm aiming to find somewhere and do it this year though
@@templetart6932 you're welcome! And let me add something. When you're up there, you don't really feel the height because you can't put it in relation to anything. You just feel the freedom😊
Already started my first section of the seek discomfort headspace pack. Found Headspace from them and have been using it for over a year now. So happy they made this pack.
" What if I fall?! But darling, what if you FLY ?! " You were soaring! This was so incredibly beautiful to witness. Thank you for the reminder that a head full of fears has no space for dreams. ✨ Love the collaboration with headspace. So happy for you and proud of you Thomas, I know headpsace and meditation has had a massive positive impact on your life over rhe years - and how beautiful that through this collaboration you can now have this impact on many others. Amazing. 🥳 Just signed up to it. Here's to leaving fears behind and stepping into the discomfort that will lead to my dreams. Here's to no longer chilling with the turkeys, but soaring with the eagles Thank you so so much for this incredibly moving episode 🙏💜✨
Yes theory channel has inspired me alot to overcome the challenges I face. After 2020 lockdown I was fighting opiod addiction for nearly 2 years, on and off. Some of your videos helped me through it as I said to myself "Seek Discomfort, overcome the pain so that you can be better". Now that I've been clean for more than 6 months I really look forward to helping others who are going through the same as I did back then. I seek challenges everyday and no matter how hard they are I always try to get through it. Someday I Hope to meet you guys and thank you in person as your channel have profoundly affected me and my perspective towards life in the most positive way. Love from NE. India 🇮🇳 ❤
I have no words for what you guys did for Staffan. That is super powerful, i could feel the energy and the love flowing through my mobile screen, the moment he touched down and you welcomed him, that literally put me in tears, tears of joy of course. What an amazing thing to do such a thing for someone we truly and strongly love and care for. Keep it up please and keep spreading those messages of love, support and positivity. YES all the way.
When I started subscribing to this channel years ago, I loved the message. Shortly after I subscribed, someone spontaneously asked me to go skydiving the next day. My brain was telling me hell no, but I paused and slowly said "suuure...". When the door opened of the plane filled me with fear and away we went. I'm happy it's off my bucket list and happy that I said yes instead of no.
This video was truely amazing, the camera work, editing, story telling, everything. The emotions could be felt through the screen, you bet I was crying. Your collaboration with headspace comes at the perfect time, since I used to meditate everyday but fell out of it and had a hard time getting back to it. This year, my discomfort will be quitting university and accepting an amazing full-time job at a Dutch start-up where I combine creativity and science, to inspire people to live healthy. I'm moving to a new city where I don't know anyone, but I am beyond excited.
that 19:20 makes me stop, and cried. Skydive has and always been one of my dream. I can feel the story of how he overcomes the fear. Much love, Yes Theory. My highest respect to the editor!
“A head full of fear has no space for DREAMS!” That hit me so hard and something I needed to hear right now in life as I have a head full of fear about leaving everything I know for a new chapter in life. I found your page yesterday and I feel like you’ve already had an impact on my life. Thank you for that. I needed that cry, and I needed that clarity.
This was a cool way to really have Staffan kind of prove himself to the audience. We've all seen Thomas, Amar, and Tommy do some crazy stuff on this channel, so having this video just about Staffan really helps him feel more like a part of the group. Staffan is such a positive guy, so it was nice to have him be the "main character" for this one :)
I’m from Miami , I’m currently facing a fear of open waters. You guys are my biggest inspiration to face my fears and make the best out of every day that passes🥺
These guys are amazing! Staffan is really lucky to have them. The cinematography is on whole new level. This stuff should not be for free. Premium level content
I have made seek discomfort the motto of my life. I even got “seek discomfort” tattooed on my leg. I always liked the idea of seeking adventures out of your comfort zone. But recently I realized that seeking discomfort is more than doing high adrenaline activities. I just graduated college and I was scared of the uncertain future. I was ready to settle and stay working in retail. But since I’ve been meditating, thanks to inspiration from yes theory, I have reflected and found that I have to seek the discomfort of leaving the job I’ve had for 5 years and take a leap of faith in the career that I want. The other day I accepted a job offer in the field I studied in college a week after graduating. This year, I’m seeking discomfort by taking leaps of faith to be the best version of myself i can be by doing things that I usually keep myself back from doing due to self doubt. I already feel happier and I’m excited to see what more I can achieve
So inspiring to see Steffan push through his fear so gracefully. Now I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone and try something new (maybe even skydiving!) I’m loving finally having Headspace for these 60 days 🫶 the series is amazing!!
I have never been sky diving, but it is one of the few things I promised myself I would do to push out of my comfort zone. The one true fear that I have is falling, so this would be one of the hardest barriers to overcome. After seeing Steffan break through such a tough emotion was one of the most inspiring things I have seen, with that being said, I will be sky diving after my graduation next year in 2024. A gift to myself to prove that no barrier should be left unbroken. Face Everything And Rise, I will hold this saying forever. Thank you guys for continually making life changing videos and inspiring millions to Seek Discomfort. Love you guys, keep changing the world
Hi! Just in case this helps - Skydiving doesn't really feel like falling because of the wind. Anyways - good luck with your graduation, skydiving and achieving your dreams :)
A few tears came over me after watching this! I’ve been skydiving 18 times but it’s been 3 years since I’ve been!!! It’s scary but made me feel so alive! I remember my first time jumping with my own parachute I cried in the plane and rode the plane down. Then about 5 hours later I jumped and when I landed I had happy tears!! This was very beautiful! I love facing my fears! Next month I’m getting scuba certified because I’m scared of it! Just like I got skydive certified!!
I'm from the USA and my discomfort is going on a solo trip to another country. I've always had anxiety about small everyday things and I feel it would push me to feel more confidence in my ability to navigate change. This year on my husbands birthday, I surprised him by skydiving for the very first time while he was a student skydiver. I'll always remember him saying how proud he was of me for pushing myself and overcoming my anxiety! The feeling is indescribable, and I always go back to that moment at the edge of the open plane to push me to seek discomfort in new or scary situations! Thank you guys for what you do, so many people need this kind of encouragement to push themselves to achieve their dreams ♡
Steffan's courage to face his fears had me in tears! Thanks for sharing your bravery with the world -- so inspiring! Just started the Headspace package - hoping it can help me navigate my anxiety more consistently 💕
I’ve started your seek discomfort package. I wanted to share with you the most rewarding aspect of receiving this package: gaining a profound understanding of my own discomfort. Throughout this journey, I've delved deep into my internal processes whenever I've encountered discomfort, striving to shift my perspective and embrace these feelings with a positive attitude. As I firmly believe, the most incredible experiences in life reside on the other side of fear. I am wholeheartedly committed to personal growth and crafting a more fulfilling life. Your inspiring presence has motivated me to evolve into a better version of myself each day! With gratitude, Ashley By the way I’m from the USA 😊
This met me exactly where I wanted to be. This was absolutely wonderful. So moving, Staffan sir, you looked like you were being reborn. I honor you guys for the beauty you commit to and put out to the world. Thank you.
Emotional!!!! So proud of you/happy for you, Steffan. Loved this from the concept to the production. Goosebumps, teared up and laughed with joy when you jumped and flew. Inspiring and never at a bad time. So many mantras to take away. Thank you for sharing with us, team!
When Staffan landed, I started crying. I want to be this person, I want to stop my mind from having fear and pushing me back. You guys are so inspirational. All the love to you guys, God bless! ❤
Epic video guys!! Loved watching Staffan’s journey to overcome his biggest fear 🙌 Even at the peak of his discomfort he was able to be inspirational…”a head full of fears has no room for dreams”, that will stick! 💛🦅
I wish i could be there to encourage you. I quit riding because i was taking too many chances. I worked at a bike shop for about 22 years. We sold and repaired japanese bikes and quads. I come home one day and my wife said its her or the motorcycles. I quit racing. You are an inspiration like she was. Keep trying, never quit.
Staffan - you're now officially initiated as a Yes-Theeory-ist! I've watched the 3 lads, Tommy and Cam be initiated into this crazy, inspiring, life affirming group, and now I've watched you take on the this most incredibly difficult task. The wonderful thing about this is you didn't do it alone, but others shared in your memory of feeling the fear and overcoming it. A head full of fears has no space for dreams...I can't wait to watch your continuing journey through seeking discomfort x PS - amazing camerwork, editing and storytelling team - had me in tears...of joy and amazement of course!!!
Hi everyone! I'm from Egypt and the discomfort I'm seeking this year is solo travelling the world. Being a solo travelling female coming from my culture, has never felt like a very easy feat. It's really tough trying to break the barriers of fear that were so deeply ingrained in me and anyone like me. So, I'm deciding to break through that mold, and stop giving those fears the mic. Taking action won't be easy but I'm excited to see where this new road takes me. I have actually already started the year with two international solo trips back to back to some very new and far places, and already planning for my next one. I'm just starting your package on Headspace, because I know that no other group would understand the "head space" I'm in right now more than Yes Theory! It's insane watching this video because I've dreamt of Skydiving, and even getting a license for it for so long, but it always seems out if reach. Watching Staffan on this wild ride reminded me that the sky itself isn't out of reach, so why would anything else be? ✨
Watching this gives me motivation to do something outside my comfort zone. Edit: a day later and I went on a hike that's super tough, really high up and very steep drop offs. I conquered my fear of falling to death or falling in general. When I got to the peak it was 2,528 feet tall, about a 2,000 foot drop straight to ground on either direction on the peak of the mountain
I have debilitating anxiety, to the point it controls me and very aspiration I have. I have never been on a plane, I don't do much besides what feels comfort. This video made me bawl my eyes out, he is completely right that a head full of fears has no space for dreams. I truly hope I get the courage to overcome my anxiety so I can live more like y'all do
i have no words for this episode...... you guys never fail to inspire and fill all those around you with joy. Each and every one of you have been blessed with such amazing gifts and to be using them collectively to the absolute most of your abilities is beyond inspiring. i love you guys. ----Richard----
As someone who is sitting here. In pain. After I broke my lower spine. And been told maybe it’s time to quit. Or thinking I will quit things that seem fearful. This has only inspired me. Not only to look forward to the future but to break future fears. Keep moving forward with my dreams and breaking down the barriers. So proud of you! I teared up at the end. More reason for me to heal. So I can live and enjoy life. And somehow this has made my pain seem less painful. There’s a future of conquering so much. We only have one life and we have to live it to the fullest. And fear will only prevent us from living life to the fullest. In so many different aspects of life. So much love to you all!
What an amazing and inspring video! I love how Staffan, even when scared to his core, keeps spitting those inspirational quotes xD. I myself have had a huge fear of heights my whole life but 2 years ago I started rock climbing (first indoors only but then also outdoors) cuz my best friend has been climbing for 12+ years. Now recently I have started to overcome my fear of falling by purposely making big falls (first 2-3m, last week I fell 10 meters). It's so hard to let go when you know you will take a big fall but the feeling afterwards is unbelievably good. Skydiving is definetly on my Bucket list and this video has motivated me even more to take the big leap!
I’m from New Jersey here in the good old United States. I the discomfort that I am seeking out this year is living away from home. I am in college and have gotten an apartment with a few guys. I’m scared and nervous to live away from my family because I overthink almost everything. I constantly have panic attacks thinking about if I need something urgent, my family won’t be there to help me. I’ve watched you guys for a couple of years now and I love the message love over fear and the idea of trying to look for something that is uncomfortable because they end up being the best experiences. If I go into this next year with that mindset, I think it will help me out tremendously. Thank you guys!
Staffan, you are such an inspiration. Not only you, but the whole Yes Theory. Thank you guys so much creating this channel. I've changed a lot in my life and in my thoughts thanks to you. It made my everyday life easier, as a teacher, as a person. I can tackle any hurdle in life much better. I can't think enough of how much I would love for pupils to understand this way of thinking, and until they do, I'll be the messenger of being a role model and fighting my fears and insecurities. Bless all of you, much love from Sweden. /Anton
Guys, I love how you support each other with so much love! Well done, Staffan, I felt with you all the way and cried with happiness when you landed! So happy for you and so inspiring for me!!!
This episode hits like the movie Secret Life of Walter Mitty to me. The unknown, the fear, the ride, the commitment, the freedom, the relief...all the things that kept me alive was once relived through this. You guys are truly wonderful. And although you didn't get to met Nicolas Cage, I think the video is enough to call itself a National Treasure.
Staffan is soo pure, really happy to see him happy. I'm from Egypt and I'm seeking a social media detox this year, I wish I was seeking bigger things but I know I can't at the moment. hope one day to be as you guys, all the love
Hello Seek Discomfort family! ☀️☀️ I cried my eyes out!! This was such a beautiful episode, Staffan!! I am extremely proud of you my friend! I have always dreamed of flying so high in the sky but have never done it. I will make it up there on one day!
You guys really inspired me when I was in a dark place! I explore every single day and make films because of you guys! Your work is so beautiful and I dream to live a life like you guys. Thanks for everything you do
My heart was racing so fast watching Staffan skydive from the comfort of my bed lol. I hope one day I can feel the adrenaline of skydiving myself! It seems therapeutic almost aha and a great way to seek discomfort :) Keep up the great videos y’all never disappoint 😊
Just started the Seek Discomfort package, y'all have helped me get out of my shell more and become a better person and it's amazing to see y'all touch the hearts of people across the world
Not a single one of your videos goes by without encouraging me to say yes to this world and face the discomfort that comes my way. I am so moved by everything you guys accomplish and set out for others. I have a fear of flying, it is what I wrote my college essay on, and it has many times sent me into a spiral of anxiety, panic, and fear so uncomfortable it is unimaginable. Yet I chose to go to a school I had to fly to and from to get home, and I never shy away from any flights because I refuse to let it control my life, all thanks to you guys. ❤ I started the headspace package and can’t wait to use it on my next flight… :)
Beautiful Video I think the pandemic and the economic crisis have taught people how important multiple streams of income are, unfortunately having a job does not automatically mean financial security, I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance in these difficult times
I agree with you 100%. Did you know that the unemployment rate increased significantly between 2021-2022. People became unemployed. We should not depend solely on wages and salary.
The delayed impact of the global interest rate spikes, steady erosion of consumer savings and post-COVID pent-up demand, and deeply troubling global geopolitical context will result in market declines and re-emergence of market volatility
If inflation slowed down but if it reverses as interest rates rise higher, I believe the sectors that have driven this rally should be vulnerable to sharp pullbacks.
I agree. High-yield dividend stocks come immediately to mind as they offer steady passive income streams at inflation-beating levels, for a certain return should these crazy markets turn south.
On the contrary those high yields don’t penultimately mean the equivalent amount in dollars will be disbursed, I will advice seeking counsel from a local broker, I myself work with a fiduciary in New York although I am in South Dakota.
When he said "A head full of fears has no place for dreams" I just started sobbing. My life magically brought me to LA when the war in Russia began, and it's my biggest fear - heights. In 2 weeks I will have my first internship in the Oklahoma state research university and I will have to fly alone with no family or friends. I love breathwork and this is what I will remember - feel everything and rise
You guys have created so many incredible videos throughout the years, but I don't think I've ever been moved as much as watching this one. Especially having just finished the first part of the Seek Discomfort package on Headspace and after jumping straight into the abyss of realising what discomfort is to me. It feels so unreal how big of a change to ones mentality you can make showing how much goes into fighting your fears and how much you get out of it. I'm so proud of you for constantly overcoming your fears and for creating such an amazing tool with headspace!
This film. This group of people. You are changing the world. You are touching souls in such visceral levels. I love everything this channel represents. The messages of humanity are the most authentic & true. Thank you for all that you do ❤️
This video actually made me cry, I wish I could be as brave as you guys, I have agoraphobia and a panic disorder and am basically housebound due to my own phobias and fears, but watching your videos gives me hope that one day I might be able to battle my own discomfort even if it does have to be just one small step at a time. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
I’ve been watching and enjoying YT vids for years but this is the 1st one to actually upset me. To kidnap your friend and make him do something that terrifies him deeply isn’t cool. This really crossed the line into cruelty. I was afraid of heights growing up and then eventually was diagnosed with a rare blood pressure disorder. I learned that bungee jumping or skydiving could kill me. You guys are really lucky that Staffan didn't have a medical episode as a result of that jump. I believe we should seek discomfort but not ignore the signals your body is trying to give you. Ultimately we should all seek survival.
@@nicolems What really upsets me is that they put Steffan in a no-win position. If he’d refused to do the jump, after all the efforts, time & money poured into this, he’d have risked humiliating himself and/or losing his lifestyle and extended family. It was a terrible thing to do to him. Look, YT helped get me through lockdown with their fun & positive vids. I think ultimately their hearts are usually in the right place. I just hope they don’t lose sight of their humanity in the pursuit of likes. Some fears are perfectly valid, like a fear of being water boarded or being raped. Doesn’t mean we have to endure simulations of every frightening experience to try to overcome it. Some fears need to be respected.
I absolutley love you guys! True inspiration of my life! I am from Estonia and this year I am seeking the discomfort of graduating from high school and starting my life "as an adult". I feel tremendeus pressure and anxiety about all of it but Yes Theory keeps reminding me to keep living in the moment, enjoying my life and trying not to worry too much about certain things, but instead seek discomfort and face my fears, all for a fulfilling and amazing life.
Hey eagles!
Hi Staffan. Love you ❤
Thank you for this you have made me decide to face my fears
All the best
You were the perfect one for this! Your bravery on the ground left no doubt in my mind that you would soar!!!! Thank you for being so inspirational and congratulations on officially becoming the newest yes theory member!
That was so amazing to watch you Staffan.... the way you motivated yourself and the way they pranked you it was all amazing..... the biggest lesson to learn here is to just do what you can and just leave everything to that God, he will take care of everything else.
It's been more than 5 years, I'm here in this channel and in each video I get a different perspective of life.
Love you guys🫂❤️

You guys are amazing! It’s been 15 years since I had A dirtbike accident and became a paraplegic. After the fact I didn’t wanna do anything I just wanted to sit at home and be by myself. you guys gave me the motivation to go out and try new things. I have the seat discomfort flag on my door so every time I walk out it reminds me to do something out of my comfort zone that day. And since this marks the 15th year I would love to go skydiving. It scared the mess out of me but I want to overcome that fear. If you guys were ever in Arkansas I would love to skydive with you guys. It would be a dream come true!! Much love💜
If your injury actually allows that, they definitely *should* make that happen !
Hey bro !! It's my 10 year mark this year also! Seek discomfort has brought a new meaning to life! Skydiving is in my bucket list also! Glad to make it happen with you!
UP
this has 199 likes i will leave it at that cause your were a shredder and that's Travis Pastranas number!!!! good for you man!!! I rode FMX for like 13 years and now i just ride DH MTB, the crashes dont hurt as bad, sometimes!!!
hope that they will help you to achieve your dream. Stay strong brother ⚡️
I loved when Staffan said: A head full of fears has no space for dreams.
Good for you on saying YES to the challenge, Staffan!🎉
I got chills when Staffan said "a head full of fears has no space for dreams" and I am seriously considering getting a tattoo of that quote as it resonates with me so much. PLEASE make merch with that quote on it.
am i the only one crying rn? oh man felt like i was flying with him! Thanks Yes theory for making such Amazing Videos! Love from india
Hlo Ri bhayia kase ho aap
ok
Can I get a reply plz🥹🥹
well said
It put a tear in my eye as well.
Shoutout to the cameraman during the skydive! Amazing moments captured on camera during and after the fall - I could feel Staffan's energy through the screen. Congratulations on facing your fear, and what an incredible connection you all have.
Amazing
I genuinely cried during this video. I feel so lost in life lately. Full of fears and doubts. I have so much desire to seek discomfort yet I stay stagnant scared. I have to break out of this bubble for myself. “A head full of fears has no space for dreams” is exactly what I needed. You guys are so amazing and the joy and motivation you bring to my life is exceptional. I love what you guys do! Keep showing the world how to seek discomfort. ❤
I feel almost the same dude I cried too and had an weird feeling in stomachs the whole time I watched it
Keep you head up, king, you will succeed in what you dream! Good luck♥️
@@alexpace5491 will do, getting better 1% every day.
Amen brother
@@vangogh7049 this one and Amar’s skydiving video from a few months ago literally brings me to tears every time I watch. It’s not only a beautiful video, but it’s a motivating moment for me. Yet here I am still staying still scared to try anything new. Scared to take the leap of faith. I wish someone could just push me so I’m forced to seek the discomfort. 😂
"Can someone just hold me?" Oh Staffan you are a beautiful soul!
A head full of fears has no room for dreams. well done guys, you give motivation to thousands of people to live their lives breaking thru what they think is possible and whats not.
I did it exactly in the same spot, exactly with the same team so I know what you guys felt here 💙
Congrats on this beautiful challenge guys !
How much does this cost because I wanna try it so badly?!
way to try to make this video about you lol who gives a shit about your experience. This isn't about you or your experience.
@@BiscuitCultist in a helicopter it cost 2900€ and in a plane 990€
Staffan is a great addition to the Yes Theory family, he has such a positive energy. This video was great and because of it I now have the courage to sky dive too. I usually do "If laugh I..." vídeos for my channel and sky diving has been on my mind since forever. 😅
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law"
~ Immanuel Kant
I truly cried watching him in the air. Something about him doing something he thought he would never do just hit me. YOU DID IT MAN!!
This is crazy, I don't think anyone can truly understand how emotional I got. Growing up in the region this was filmed in and getting to look at that landscape almost my whole life this went straight to my heart. I once went paragliding there and it really is one adventure I'll never forget. Seeing Staffan overcome his fear and having an amazing time is beautiful and inspiring. Plus The Mont-Blanc in the background I don't know why but tears rolled down my cheeks. Thank you everyone from Yes Theory, the Yes Fam. Thank you for inspiring millions of people. Merci beaucoup pour inspirer des millions de personnes.
lol wtf
I was watching this video with tears in my eyes. Real friends care about each other.
I can’t help but cry 😭 I felt every emotion Stefan felt: fear, anxiety, bravery and bliss. The video really encapsulated all of that and I feel like I was there with him. I would definitely love to experience such insanely exhilarating experience one day. Kudos to YES THEORY for another masterpiece 💕
I'm from Hungary and the discomfort I'm seeking is moving from a small rural town in Hungary to the very center of Munich. The change won't be easy but I'm eager to embrace everything that comes with it. I have actually just started the navigating change course on Headspace. I have never tried guided meditation before, but now I'm hooked. Skydiving has been a drem of mine ever since I was little. I have already made up my mind and as soon as I can afford it, I will get my skydiving licence. To get the opportunity to do my very first skydive at 18 would be so incredible!!
Hey andras, i'm also from Hungary. I moved from Vac to the UK when i was 7. I'm not sure how old you are, but you have nothing to worry about. It was hard for me at the very begining but it is something that gets very easy and normal over time. In the future you will look back at how you were feeling and think of it as an achievement, and positive event!
Heya I hope you’re doing well! I‘ve lived my whole life in Munich (19 years) so if you have any questions etc you can totally just ask me! I’m not in Munich at the time since I’m currently on my gap year in New Zealand. But anyway don’t hesitate to ask whatever :))
@@Mia-rj1iu Hi! Richtig nett von dir! Ich würde mit dir gerne reden :)
As a skydiver, I am so proud of him for facing his fears and pushing through that barrier. Skydiving absolutely changed my life. It made me a better person. Not a day goes by that I regret taking that first leap. I wish more people would go and do it. The most free a person can ever feel.
I agree it gives you a whole new perspective on what you can do. Every time I think of the feeling I got after my first non-tandem jump, I just want to go back and fly again. Blue skies my friend
@@AndrewPelayo ✋🏻🤙🏻
thats some next level mental gymnastics your doing "jumping out of a plane changed my life" like ther are plenty of other things that have a far greeter impact on your existence, like any real form of exercise, and not some crackhead adrenaline rush were you risk death
@@hoodyk7342 that’s a very shallow thought process.
@@hoodyk7342 What a statement lol. Calling someone a crackhead adrenaline junkie is simply unfair characterization for someone who skydives as a hobby. You are ignorant to the fact that simply driving to the grocery store is more dangerous than skydiving. You act like we are in the 1900s when instead gear has come a long way making it extremely rare for a fatality. Yeah obviously exercise is healthy and can improve your mental health but you can’t compare that to the benefits of skydiving. Exercising doesn’t take you out of your comfort zone and won’t conquer any fears. You act like we are all hiking to Mount Everest. do a lil research
I started crying when they jump, and the upbeat music is on. You can tell how happy Staffan was, he's like a newborn. Thank you Yes Theory. Your productions are gold. 11/24/2023
Watching this video again, I'm on the high-speed train from Barcelona to Madrid. I've been inspired so much by Yes Theory since watching you guys in Oct 2023, I have traveled to 7 new countries since then. Thank you Yes Theory. 08/29/2024
Back home in LA. 08/31/2024
The skydiving sequence is the most beautiful cinematography I've seen on UA-cam. Combined with the emotional connection to you guys... Its a winner.
I was a professional skydiving videographer and I found that fascinating. I've flown wingsuits and filmed hundreds of tandems, but never a wingsuit tandem. The skill level of the chick flying (it was the chick doing outside video, because she high fived him on the ground) was awesome. Such a high skill level. She was also wearing a lead weighted belt to help with her fall rate.
This is insane, a stranger who you met on the street is pure Yes Theory. Putting himself past discomfort without question. I've never seen such bravery. Amazing as always.
I friggin' love Staffan's energy. "Fear doesn't prevent death, but it does prevent life". To be absolutely terrified and still go through with it - fighting his own mind, really seeking discomfort - that's what this entire thing is about. Such a perfect addition to the team.
I got to know you guys through people I met while seeking discomfort, travelling alone, and trying to make friends, which ended up happening so nicely. Today watching Staffan skydiving, I've learned that knowing how to breathe is just something that I needed in my life, and that's why I decided to use Headspace and start using your package as it seems very beneficial. Thanks for being out there guys and well done Staffan!
As someone with a massive fear of heights myself, this is so inspiring to watch. Huge Shoutout to Staffan for going through with it despite his fear, and also something you cannot underestimate is the huge impact positive support from your friends has on this! Very well done :)
I use to terrified of any sort of heights, even parking garages, but thru persistent I was able to go up in the space needle completely fine. I know this doesn't sound like a huge accomplishment, but for me with my anxiety of heights, it was a real accomplishment for me.
@@aaron3733 It very much is! Any progress is an accomplishment, because its a step in the right direction. Keep it going!
I can’t even stand on a ladder and look down without getting nervous. Nevertheless I did a tandem jump last year and was so blown away by the experience that I wanted to do a license afterwards. I just had my first AFF jump today. There were times I was fucking terrified during the two days of ground school. My hands were sweating, dry mouth and everything when it finally came to jump today. But I did it and it was so much better and relaxed than I imagined. The mix of anxiety, calm, focus and dopamine is incredible. And you’ll be so fucking proud of yourself once you land your first jump…
Crying tears of joy, pride and inspiration. You guys are doing it, living it. You continue to be such a source of pure positive energy in this world. Thank you all, so grateful. ✨
I have started the SEEK DISCOMFORT package and I absolutely love it. I am so happy you guys are sending so much positivity and love to so many people that need it. I myself have been using headspace every day for a year now and it has helped me go through my biggest disruptive change in my life!! Lots of love!!! My story will be told one day. Everyday turning my experience into a blessing and hopefully bless others too!!!
Good to see I was not the only one crying while watching this video.
I went solo skydiving 8 times in summer 2022, unfortunately weather, schedule and (mostly) fear have been preventing me to jump again ever since.
But watching this episode... Man, I still remember to this day how I felt after every jump. Just like Staffan: on the other side of your biggest fear... are the most blissful feelings and moments of your life.
I'm French and even after 8 skydiving jumps, I still cannot embrace my fear of heights.
But this video motivated me so much to go back and skydive. And also try wingsuit one day.
Thank you YES THEORY. Your content, your community, your spirit, your mindset... All that is a true blessing to humanity.
This video was a rollercoaster of emotions from a spectator standpoint. You made us feel like we were there experiencing it with Stephan, absolutely amazing work guys!
I say this with tears in my eyes.
"Fear doesn't prevent death like fear prevents life, so I'm stopping myself from living and I just want to - break - this barrier and feel more alive than I have ever felt before" and then I started crying because Staffan made me realize how afraid I am of dying and how that fear has been stopping me from skydiving or scuba diving or anything remotely thrilling because my fear of death has held me back. Thank you Staffan for changing my perspective on that, it's time to stop stopping myself from living
Good job Staffan! I absolutely love that quote, " a head full of fears has no space for dreams". If I may add a little to it, "a head full of fears has no space for achieving dreams". I have a lot of dreams but fear has kept me back from almost all of them so I 100% agree!
"Fear stands for : face everything and rise".
Had tears towards the end.. Such an incredible video as always, thank you for everything ! I can't even express my full gratitude for all the emotions and inspiring thoughts your videos make me feel and think.
Hi im from the US. This year i'm looking to overcome my discomfort in believing in myself. Throughout my life i've always had doubts about my self and that i'm never good enough.
This made me cry with joy and excitement for Staffan and how much courage he showed while overcoming his biggest fear. You inspire me and motivate me to continue to embrace and love the same mission as y’all’s. Seek discomfort means the world to me and has helped me overcome the small fears I struggle with on a daily like anxiety and depression.I would love to begin the seek discomfort package. I feel like it could be the push I need to overcome and begin my own personal healing journey.
This is the channel of which videos I’ve cried the most. I have a crying streak. The most biggest thank you for what you guys do and making it possible to expierience these journeys with you through emotions and discomfort seeking. We all grow together.
I come from a small country Latvia, been watching your videos for the longest time, extremely grateful for all the free headspace subrictions and knowledge as well. Flying to me associates with complete surrender and ableness to just let the wind take you. Thats why birds are here to remind us just that. As I’ve started the package and cried my eyes out, I’ll let this video sink in.
All love🌱☀️
Really loved the authenticity and love shown in the video! Stefan you are such a beautiful soul! I’m from Melb Australia and the discomfort I’m seeking this year is running my first marathon! it is sure to be a challenge but I’m sure the breath work and mindfulness skills from the Headspace program will be very valuable! Thank you again for the wonderful video! :)
This is so powerful! I wrote this down on a piece of paper and put it on my desk as a daily reminder - "A head full of fears has no space for dreams". I'm seeking discomfort by speaking up and doing things differently. I've spent years just trying to conform and that feels comfortable. Now let's make some dreams happen!
cried like a baby, it’s so beautiful to see the special friendship you guys have 😢
God this was truely amazing to see Staffan overcome. Weirdly enough, I dont have any physical fears apart from a severe fear of vomit which stops me doing so many things. Seeing staffan get ill when Ammar told him was really hard to watch because i cant ecen imagine how nervous you have to be to get like that. But he overcame it and wow what an incredible fear. Totally seeking discomfort. So proud!!
I also have emetophobia! It was so hard to watch Staffan feel ill when he found out but I knew I needed to finish the video because it would be magical
As someone with a huge fear of heights (I can't even go up escalators without some fear kicking in), the fact the Staffan pushed through this fear to accomplish what he did is really inspiring. Skydiving is something I've always wanted to do and maybe this is the final push I needed to do it
You can do it🤟
You can do it. I went for my son and found an 18,000ft jump zone to make sure when I died, I wasn't just broken. Sh*tty thinking, I know. On the other side of terror is bliss; as a bonus, I'm no longer afraid of heights.
@@suzonlommel3737 I'll be honest the second thing holding me back is because I'm a bigger guy, 6'6 and decently built so I am over the weight limit for a lot of tandem skydiving places near me. I'm aiming to find somewhere and do it this year though
@@dimistrau4596 Thanks for the vote of confidence :D
@@templetart6932 you're welcome! And let me add something. When you're up there, you don't really feel the height because you can't put it in relation to anything. You just feel the freedom😊
Already started my first section of the seek discomfort headspace pack. Found Headspace from them and have been using it for over a year now. So happy they made this pack.
" What if I fall?!
But darling, what if you FLY ?! "
You were soaring!
This was so incredibly beautiful to witness.
Thank you for the reminder that a head full of fears has no space for dreams.
✨
Love the collaboration with headspace.
So happy for you and proud of you Thomas, I know headpsace and meditation has had a massive positive impact on your life over rhe years - and how beautiful that through this collaboration you can now have this impact on many others. Amazing. 🥳
Just signed up to it. Here's to leaving fears behind and stepping into the discomfort that will lead to my dreams.
Here's to no longer chilling with the turkeys, but soaring with the eagles
Thank you so so much for this incredibly moving episode
🙏💜✨
Yes theory channel has inspired me alot to overcome the challenges I face. After 2020 lockdown I was fighting opiod addiction for nearly 2 years, on and off. Some of your videos helped me through it as I said to myself "Seek Discomfort, overcome the pain so that you can be better". Now that I've been clean for more than 6 months I really look forward to helping others who are going through the same as I did back then.
I seek challenges everyday and no matter how hard they are I always try to get through it. Someday I Hope to meet you guys and thank you in person as your channel have profoundly affected me and my perspective towards life in the most positive way. Love from NE. India 🇮🇳 ❤
I have no words for what you guys did for Staffan. That is super powerful, i could feel the energy and the love flowing through my mobile screen, the moment he touched down and you welcomed him, that literally put me in tears, tears of joy of course. What an amazing thing to do such a thing for someone we truly and strongly love and care for. Keep it up please and keep spreading those messages of love, support and positivity. YES all the way.
When I started subscribing to this channel years ago, I loved the message. Shortly after I subscribed, someone spontaneously asked me to go skydiving the next day. My brain was telling me hell no, but I paused and slowly said "suuure...". When the door opened of the plane filled me with fear and away we went. I'm happy it's off my bucket list and happy that I said yes instead of no.
Props to Thomas, Ammar, Tommy, and everyone else pulling this surprise for Staffan! You guys make me want to skydive and keep seeking discomfort!
This video was truely amazing, the camera work, editing, story telling, everything. The emotions could be felt through the screen, you bet I was crying.
Your collaboration with headspace comes at the perfect time, since I used to meditate everyday but fell out of it and had a hard time getting back to it.
This year, my discomfort will be quitting university and accepting an amazing full-time job at a Dutch start-up where I combine creativity and science, to inspire people to live healthy. I'm moving to a new city where I don't know anyone, but I am beyond excited.
that 19:20 makes me stop, and cried. Skydive has and always been one of my dream. I can feel the story of how he overcomes the fear. Much love, Yes Theory. My highest respect to the editor!
“A head full of fear has no space for DREAMS!” That hit me so hard and something I needed to hear right now in life as I have a head full of fear about leaving everything I know for a new chapter in life. I found your page yesterday and I feel like you’ve already had an impact on my life. Thank you for that. I needed that cry, and I needed that clarity.
This was a cool way to really have Staffan kind of prove himself to the audience. We've all seen Thomas, Amar, and Tommy do some crazy stuff on this channel, so having this video just about Staffan really helps him feel more like a part of the group. Staffan is such a positive guy, so it was nice to have him be the "main character" for this one :)
I’m from Miami , I’m currently facing a fear of open waters. You guys are my biggest inspiration to face my fears and make the best out of every day that passes🥺
These guys are amazing! Staffan is really lucky to have them. The cinematography is on whole new level. This stuff should not be for free. Premium level content
I have made seek discomfort the motto of my life. I even got “seek discomfort” tattooed on my leg. I always liked the idea of seeking adventures out of your comfort zone. But recently I realized that seeking discomfort is more than doing high adrenaline activities. I just graduated college and I was scared of the uncertain future. I was ready to settle and stay working in retail. But since I’ve been meditating, thanks to inspiration from yes theory, I have reflected and found that I have to seek the discomfort of leaving the job I’ve had for 5 years and take a leap of faith in the career that I want. The other day I accepted a job offer in the field I studied in college a week after graduating. This year, I’m seeking discomfort by taking leaps of faith to be the best version of myself i can be by doing things that I usually keep myself back from doing due to self doubt. I already feel happier and I’m excited to see what more I can achieve
So inspiring to see Steffan push through his fear so gracefully. Now I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone and try something new (maybe even skydiving!)
I’m loving finally having Headspace for these 60 days 🫶 the series is amazing!!
WOW!! So much respect for Staffan for facing his fear. The support and love you guys have for each other brought me to tears. It's amazing to watch ♥
I have never been sky diving, but it is one of the few things I promised myself I would do to push out of my comfort zone. The one true fear that I have is falling, so this would be one of the hardest barriers to overcome. After seeing Steffan break through such a tough emotion was one of the most inspiring things I have seen, with that being said, I will be sky diving after my graduation next year in 2024. A gift to myself to prove that no barrier should be left unbroken. Face Everything And Rise, I will hold this saying forever. Thank you guys for continually making life changing videos and inspiring millions to Seek Discomfort. Love you guys, keep changing the world
Hi! Just in case this helps - Skydiving doesn't really feel like falling because of the wind. Anyways - good luck with your graduation, skydiving and achieving your dreams :)
A few tears came over me after watching this! I’ve been skydiving 18 times but it’s been 3 years since I’ve been!!! It’s scary but made me feel so alive! I remember my first time jumping with my own parachute I cried in the plane and rode the plane down. Then about 5 hours later I jumped and when I landed I had happy tears!! This was very beautiful! I love facing my fears! Next month I’m getting scuba certified because I’m scared of it! Just like I got skydive certified!!
Congratulations Steffan! So proud and happy for you! I could feel my heart race just seeing you do it.
The amount of emotions you were able to capture and show to the audience is enormous.
I'm from the USA and my discomfort is going on a solo trip to another country. I've always had anxiety about small everyday things and I feel it would push me to feel more confidence in my ability to navigate change. This year on my husbands birthday, I surprised him by skydiving for the very first time while he was a student skydiver. I'll always remember him saying how proud he was of me for pushing myself and overcoming my anxiety! The feeling is indescribable, and I always go back to that moment at the edge of the open plane to push me to seek discomfort in new or scary situations! Thank you guys for what you do, so many people need this kind of encouragement to push themselves to achieve their dreams ♡
Steffan's courage to face his fears had me in tears! Thanks for sharing your bravery with the world -- so inspiring! Just started the Headspace package - hoping it can help me navigate my anxiety more consistently 💕
I’ve started your seek discomfort package. I wanted to share with you the most rewarding aspect of receiving this package: gaining a profound understanding of my own discomfort. Throughout this journey, I've delved deep into my internal processes whenever I've encountered discomfort, striving to shift my perspective and embrace these feelings with a positive attitude. As I firmly believe, the most incredible experiences in life reside on the other side of fear. I am wholeheartedly committed to personal growth and crafting a more fulfilling life. Your inspiring presence has motivated me to evolve into a better version of myself each day!
With gratitude,
Ashley
By the way I’m from the USA 😊
This met me exactly where I wanted to be. This was absolutely wonderful. So moving, Staffan sir, you looked like you were being reborn. I honor you guys for the beauty you commit to and put out to the world. Thank you.
This channel makes so much down to earth videos from this channel we can see the real beauty of the earth and nature ❣️
Emotional!!!! So proud of you/happy for you, Steffan. Loved this from the concept to the production. Goosebumps, teared up and laughed with joy when you jumped and flew. Inspiring and never at a bad time. So many mantras to take away. Thank you for sharing with us, team!
When Staffan landed, I started crying. I want to be this person, I want to stop my mind from having fear and pushing me back. You guys are so inspirational. All the love to you guys, God bless! ❤
Epic video guys!! Loved watching Staffan’s journey to overcome his biggest fear 🙌 Even at the peak of his discomfort he was able to be inspirational…”a head full of fears has no room for dreams”, that will stick! 💛🦅
I wish i could be there to encourage you. I quit riding because i was taking too many chances. I worked at a bike shop for about 22 years. We sold and repaired japanese bikes and quads. I come home one day and my wife said its her or the motorcycles. I quit racing. You are an inspiration like she was. Keep trying, never quit.
Staffan - you're now officially initiated as a Yes-Theeory-ist! I've watched the 3 lads, Tommy and Cam be initiated into this crazy, inspiring, life affirming group, and now I've watched you take on the this most incredibly difficult task. The wonderful thing about this is you didn't do it alone, but others shared in your memory of feeling the fear and overcoming it. A head full of fears has no space for dreams...I can't wait to watch your continuing journey through seeking discomfort x
PS - amazing camerwork, editing and storytelling team - had me in tears...of joy and amazement of course!!!
Hi everyone! I'm from Egypt and the discomfort I'm seeking this year is solo travelling the world. Being a solo travelling female coming from my culture, has never felt like a very easy feat. It's really tough trying to break the barriers of fear that were so deeply ingrained in me and anyone like me. So, I'm deciding to break through that mold, and stop giving those fears the mic.
Taking action won't be easy but I'm excited to see where this new road takes me.
I have actually already started the year with two international solo trips back to back to some very new and far places, and already planning for my next one.
I'm just starting your package on Headspace, because I know that no other group would understand the "head space" I'm in right now more than Yes Theory!
It's insane watching this video because I've dreamt of Skydiving, and even getting a license for it for so long, but it always seems out if reach. Watching Staffan on this wild ride reminded me that the sky itself isn't out of reach, so why would anything else be? ✨
Watching this gives me motivation to do something outside my comfort zone. Edit: a day later and I went on a hike that's super tough, really high up and very steep drop offs. I conquered my fear of falling to death or falling in general. When I got to the peak it was 2,528 feet tall, about a 2,000 foot drop straight to ground on either direction on the peak of the mountain
I have debilitating anxiety, to the point it controls me and very aspiration I have. I have never been on a plane, I don't do much besides what feels comfort. This video made me bawl my eyes out, he is completely right that a head full of fears has no space for dreams. I truly hope I get the courage to overcome my anxiety so I can live more like y'all do
i have no words for this episode...... you guys never fail to inspire and fill all those around you with joy.
Each and every one of you have been blessed with such amazing gifts and to be using them collectively to the absolute most of your abilities is beyond inspiring.
i love you guys.

As someone who is sitting here. In pain. After I broke my lower spine. And been told maybe it’s time to quit. Or thinking I will quit things that seem fearful. This has only inspired me. Not only to look forward to the future but to break future fears. Keep moving forward with my dreams and breaking down the barriers. So proud of you! I teared up at the end. More reason for me to heal. So I can live and enjoy life. And somehow this has made my pain seem less painful. There’s a future of conquering so much. We only have one life and we have to live it to the fullest. And fear will only prevent us from living life to the fullest. In so many different aspects of life. So much love to you all!
What an amazing and inspring video! I love how Staffan, even when scared to his core, keeps spitting those inspirational quotes xD.
I myself have had a huge fear of heights my whole life but 2 years ago I started rock climbing (first indoors only but then also outdoors) cuz my best friend has been climbing for 12+ years. Now recently I have started to overcome my fear of falling by purposely making big falls (first 2-3m, last week I fell 10 meters). It's so hard to let go when you know you will take a big fall but the feeling afterwards is unbelievably good. Skydiving is definetly on my Bucket list and this video has motivated me even more to take the big leap!
I’m from New Jersey here in the good old United States. I the discomfort that I am seeking out this year is living away from home. I am in college and have gotten an apartment with a few guys. I’m scared and nervous to live away from my family because I overthink almost everything. I constantly have panic attacks thinking about if I need something urgent, my family won’t be there to help me. I’ve watched you guys for a couple of years now and I love the message love over fear and the idea of trying to look for something that is uncomfortable because they end up being the best experiences. If I go into this next year with that mindset, I think it will help me out tremendously. Thank you guys!
Staffan, you are such an inspiration. Not only you, but the whole Yes Theory. Thank you guys so much creating this channel. I've changed a lot in my life and in my thoughts thanks to you. It made my everyday life easier, as a teacher, as a person. I can tackle any hurdle in life much better. I can't think enough of how much I would love for pupils to understand this way of thinking, and until they do, I'll be the messenger of being a role model and fighting my fears and insecurities.
Bless all of you, much love from Sweden.

Guys, I love how you support each other with so much love! Well done, Staffan, I felt with you all the way and cried with happiness when you landed! So happy for you and so inspiring for me!!!
This episode hits like the movie Secret Life of Walter Mitty to me. The unknown, the fear, the ride, the commitment, the freedom, the relief...all the things that kept me alive was once relived through this. You guys are truly wonderful. And although you didn't get to met Nicolas Cage, I think the video is enough to call itself a National Treasure.
Staffan is soo pure, really happy to see him happy. I'm from Egypt and I'm seeking a social media detox this year, I wish I was seeking bigger things but I know I can't at the moment. hope one day to be as you guys, all the love
Hello Seek Discomfort family! ☀️☀️
I cried my eyes out!! This was such a beautiful episode, Staffan!! I am extremely proud of you my friend! I have always dreamed of flying so high in the sky but have never done it. I will make it up there on one day!
You guys really inspired me when I was in a dark place! I explore every single day and make films because of you guys! Your work is so beautiful and I dream to live a life like you guys. Thanks for everything you do
My heart was racing so fast watching Staffan skydive from the comfort of my bed lol. I hope one day I can feel the adrenaline of skydiving myself! It seems therapeutic almost aha and a great way to seek discomfort :) Keep up the great videos y’all never disappoint 😊
The first step is to go skydiving XD
You won't regret it
Just started the Seek Discomfort package, y'all have helped me get out of my shell more and become a better person and it's amazing to see y'all touch the hearts of people across the world
This video should win an award. Absolutely incredibly well produced and rarely do you see emotion captured so fully on film. WELL DONE YES THEORY!!!!
Not a single one of your videos goes by without encouraging me to say yes to this world and face the discomfort that comes my way. I am so moved by everything you guys accomplish and set out for others. I have a fear of flying, it is what I wrote my college essay on, and it has many times sent me into a spiral of anxiety, panic, and fear so uncomfortable it is unimaginable. Yet I chose to go to a school I had to fly to and from to get home, and I never shy away from any flights because I refuse to let it control my life, all thanks to you guys. ❤ I started the headspace package and can’t wait to use it on my next flight… :)
Beautiful Video I think the pandemic and the economic crisis have taught people how important multiple streams of income are, unfortunately having a job does not automatically mean financial security, I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance in these difficult times
I agree with you 100%. Did you know that the unemployment rate increased significantly between 2021-2022. People became unemployed. We should not depend solely on wages and salary.
The delayed impact of the global interest rate spikes, steady erosion of consumer savings and post-COVID pent-up demand, and deeply troubling global geopolitical context will result in market declines and re-emergence of market volatility
If inflation slowed down but if it reverses as interest rates rise higher, I believe the sectors that have driven this rally should be vulnerable to sharp pullbacks.
I agree. High-yield dividend stocks come immediately to mind as they offer steady passive income streams at inflation-beating levels, for a certain return should these crazy markets turn south.
On the contrary those high yields don’t penultimately mean the equivalent amount in dollars will be disbursed, I will advice seeking counsel from a local broker, I myself work with a fiduciary in New York although I am in South Dakota.
Proud of you man
I get it now..... Thomas is outsourcing the dangerous stuff to stephan😂😂😂
When he said "A head full of fears has no place for dreams" I just started sobbing. My life magically brought me to LA when the war in Russia began, and it's my biggest fear - heights. In 2 weeks I will have my first internship in the Oklahoma state research university and I will have to fly alone with no family or friends. I love breathwork and this is what I will remember - feel everything and rise
This is one of the best channels on UA-cam!❤
You guys have created so many incredible videos throughout the years, but I don't think I've ever been moved as much as watching this one. Especially having just finished the first part of the Seek Discomfort package on Headspace and after jumping straight into the abyss of realising what discomfort is to me. It feels so unreal how big of a change to ones mentality you can make showing how much goes into fighting your fears and how much you get out of it. I'm so proud of you for constantly overcoming your fears and for creating such an amazing tool with headspace!
YA'LL OVER HERE MAKING HISTORY👑
Wow! I did not expect to fell all that emotion. When he got to the ground and gave Amar a hug I was 😢 Stefon you are so brave you are incredible
“Fear doesn’t prevent death. Fear prevents life.” - Staffan, 2023 ❤️
This film. This group of people. You are changing the world. You are touching souls in such visceral levels. I love everything this channel represents. The messages of humanity are the most authentic & true. Thank you for all that you do ❤️
"A head full of fears, has no space for dreams" right before he jumps is iconic considering how scared he was. Great video as always
This video actually made me cry, I wish I could be as brave as you guys, I have agoraphobia and a panic disorder and am basically housebound due to my own phobias and fears, but watching your videos gives me hope that one day I might be able to battle my own discomfort even if it does have to be just one small step at a time. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
I’ve been watching and enjoying YT vids for years but this is the 1st one to actually upset me. To kidnap your friend and make him do something that terrifies him deeply isn’t cool. This really crossed the line into cruelty. I was afraid of heights growing up and then eventually was diagnosed with a rare blood pressure disorder. I learned that bungee jumping or skydiving could kill me. You guys are really lucky that Staffan didn't have a medical episode as a result of that jump. I believe we should seek discomfort but not ignore the signals your body is trying to give you. Ultimately we should all seek survival.
I agree.
@@nicolems What really upsets me is that they put Steffan in a no-win position. If he’d refused to do the jump, after all the efforts, time & money poured into this, he’d have risked humiliating himself and/or losing his lifestyle and extended family. It was a terrible thing to do to him. Look, YT helped get me through lockdown with their fun & positive vids. I think ultimately their hearts are usually in the right place. I just hope they don’t lose sight of their humanity in the pursuit of likes. Some fears are perfectly valid, like a fear of being water boarded or being raped. Doesn’t mean we have to endure simulations of every frightening experience to try to overcome it. Some fears need to be respected.
I absolutley love you guys! True inspiration of my life! I am from Estonia and this year I am seeking the discomfort of graduating from high school and starting my life "as an adult". I feel tremendeus pressure and anxiety about all of it but Yes Theory keeps reminding me to keep living in the moment, enjoying my life and trying not to worry too much about certain things, but instead seek discomfort and face my fears, all for a fulfilling and amazing life.
This was one of the most impactful episodes so far imo, just amazing that he pushed through and actually did it. Amazing.
I actually cry everytime these guys embrace each other. You can see how much they love each other and it's so nice to see
