Been watching you for years Ben and ive loved watching you grow through all the ups and downs. I could listen to you for hours, your videos have got me through very difficult times in my life and I always come back to listen to your inspiring, wise words. I wish you all the best with your van life!! I see it all happening for you x
Hi Ben! Authenticity is a word that gets thrown around allot but i feel you are true representation of the word. Very happy for you and where you are at. Can already sense that these vlogs will be my new comfort videos. Cant wait to get my hands on a tshirt! 💛
I appreciate that thank you banana goat :) feels SO good to make videos again I can't even describe it!
After my long walk this morning, that is what I needed. Can't wait for van content Ben, keep it up
Do you regret stopping posting and going full zen mode? or are you happy with what you have learned and how you have grown? Loved following you along your journey and cant wait to see more.
No regrets, only lessons! Honestly, I had to go ‘full zen mode’ to continue living, I was at the edge ready to end it all. If I was to advise someone going through the same, I’d recommend NOT sharing it online as much, or at least finding a mentor to help navigate all the changes, and all the sneaky ways the ego plays its games.
It’s rare that I feel the depression that once had hold of me, nor do I give a fuck about people’s options anymore, I’ve taken a very deep dive into the void, and have come back with some wisdom, humbled and wanting to continue my life.
Can recommend.
Great to hear man! I bet it’s been an awesome and crazy journey! Yeah I doubt sharing your processes online helped with all of the opinions people try to force down you. Glad you’re well man!
Keen for the tee! Still following along and being inspired by you Ben ❤🎉
Been a fan for a decade now and I'm looking forward to more merch! I still wear the Time vs. Intensity and Sloth shirt very regularly so I'm stoked for new designs 🫶
100% agree on knowing yourself "inside out" instead of outside in. most people are walking around in the latter state, almost completely ignoring what it means to have self-ownership and define your worth internally. discovering your internal locus of control, respect and love is so powerful! you are stepping into your power as a healer and a creative ben, you love to see it!
As a person who's done vanlife from a homemade van for a couple years- you're going to love it. It's so absolutely freeing. Finding beautiful stops in nature to stay at (more than 1 hour from the closest highway in the middle of nowhere), the silence of the nature, drinking coffee outside. Being able to go anywhere, whenever you feel like it- it's awesome
3/3 going 10/10. Lovely stuff Ben Thank you again!
What camera platform for full cinematic projects are you leaning toward? I know you used to mostly be a Sony guy, but a ton of good stuff from other companies like Blackmagic have come out recently. I’d love to know what kind of filmmaking gear you’re into.
Great video, Ben. Still here for the ride.
The correct vehicle is already in transit- making its way to you!
I feel happy for you 😇
I think it’s important to give each emotion our attention. As in, if we feel dread and upset and anger and whatever. It’s important to listen to it and acknowledge it. It can be hard to sit with them and listen to them but if we don’t they turn malignant and become a more powerful force to resist against.
I think it’s lovely to want to see the positives and focus on gratitude, however, what are we saying to the parts of ourselves that are hurt and wounded? Are we ignoring them? Are we saying they’re not important? Dare I say, not loved?
Mindfulness helps to focus on the emotions; their shape, colour, texture and what they have to say.
Anyway that’s my little thought. Thanks for reading if anyone has. Take care
I should've asked this for the video but I'm gonna ask it now! I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to ask this and get some answers.
You Steve and Louis - what happened? I don't think any of you 3 have ever touched on it and something might not even have happened of course. But I mean do you still talk to them? I know you obviously haven't been with them in person for years since you don't live near them meanwhile, they both have been in the UK so it's been no problem for them to hang out and even live together for a few months. But all 3 live quite different lives now. What I'm tryna get at is are you still friends with them? It's probably something you've avoided talking about I feel like but hope it's okay I asked! I've been following yall for like 9-10 years
I think Ben went to louis’s wedding. I can imagine he wasn’t focusing on vlogging it, as they barely get the chance to see eachother. Also I saw Louis commenting on these new video’s.
@@ingvar1996 oooh i don't remember seeing him there but maybe I did! and good catch on the comment! That's great to hear
@@ingvar1996 I think I remember him saying that he didn't manage to go. (I think he joked about it saying smth along the lines "U guys didn't buy my photos so I didn't have the money to go to the wedding").
Love the comment from the inside out!
lots of love bro! but we haven't forgotten you've not uploaded the India daily vlogs 😉
trusting people. i wish i had done that way less than i did.
I'm just tickling the algorithm. 😂
In my opinion you could bring back your daily vlogs as you used to do
perfect
Tickle tickle 😅
How do I get touch?
in touch? hit me up on Instagram! :)
Did you break up with Leonie? All the best Ben, I feel like you‘re on a good momentum
Hey Ben! What happened to Pumba?
Nothing, she’s in Cape Town!
why did you exit atlantic outlook but have no money?
Exited a while ago, spent the money supporting my coaching business.
Hmmmm, on one hand “I’m a coach”, on another hand,,“learn who you are, truely are, do mushrooms”… pretty hectic advice there.
Sometimes we need some hectic advice.
Did you break up with that blonde yoga girl?
Mushrooms are a gift 🍄🟫 🍄 A really great way to detach from your own paradigms and rebuild your sense of self in the most gentle and nurturing way ❤ The T-shirts sound like an incredible vehicle (excuse the pun) to get you on the road again. Self confidence is also a major handbrake in my life so i’d really value that course to get your insights on how to build mine up.
Confidence comes from correcting what is causing you to be insecure. Depression and anxiety, trauma is normally what causes you to feel insecure be it from negatives in life growing up or whatever so therefore developing self belief and focusing on recognising your achievements and qualities and working on yourself by putting urself in the positions that would give you anxiety so that you face it and overcome it. Me personally i needed anti depressants because facing it would not cure it. Deep rooted trauma growing up and stuff i needed medication to help.
