When you finally begin to make progress, inevitably your old self, the previous identity that you've held on to will show up out of nowhere to try and take you out of your balance point, and enslave you back to your original state of existence.
It shows up as conflicts with important people, some calamity taking place, you losing something, not making progress, suddenly getting sick/injured... what ever it is - it is all a test.
When this test shows up, it is simply testing whether you are who you say you are - that is your new self. Would your new self react the way you've reacted in the past to similar events?
No way, and that is why when you react the same way as you did in the past, you're only reacknowledging the fact that you are only a facade - the new self is a mask and it is finally time to remove that mask.
So you fall back into self improvement depression. A cycle of ruts that keep repeating in your life. You want to stop it? Stop reacting.
Thanks for watching this one boys.
Dope video bro, I relate to this a lot. The high peaks and low valleys seem like a constant
Yeah man, being aware of this is important, it’s like a last minute reset button when you feel like you’re just making progress, and your old self wotn hesitate to press that button
Man, I needed to hear this right now. Thank you 🙏
@@damongibson2347 thanks for watching my g. I’m glad you found it valuable 🙏🙏🤙
This came at a time when I needed it. I’ve been struggling with this. I was making great improvements last year but this year has been a real struggle for me. I had health scares and many appointments (I’m fine). For me, something just happened where I just keep comparing myself from 1-2 years ago and how I looked better than and I just keep looking at my photos which then creates an in breakable cycle. I think because I also gained a lot more grey hairs than I usually do in that period which then makes me wanna check old photos even more lol
I’ve been so stressed and depressed on and off this year. I get up and try to stay consistent and go through it again. Just 2 days ago I bought a big sketch book and I’m gonna be writing all the things I want to do. I also came to realise last week that all this stress and anxious has done nothing but cause me more stress and inconvenience. I have to accept what happened and live in the present.
I really appreciate you talking about this and making it feel like I’m not the only one. You just gained a new subscriber, mate. Keep up the good work.
I found the brain - or the mind is like a radio tower, and it listens to frequencies around. So when we’r ein a depressive state, the mind is filled up with negative things - to the point where there is no more empty space left in the mind to fill it up woth positive things.
So writing down the things filling up the mind helps me empty it -> then I refill it back up eith positive things.
@@theshepherdtaylan I never thought about it like that and it makes total sense. When I was depressed and anxious that’s all my body was filled with. Any positive thoughts was quickly shut down. And then me comparing myself to my past was just a cycle of self sabotage.
I cannot live in the past anymore and I can’t let the negative thoughts consume. My most important thing is to not compare myself to my old self.
I turn 30 in 12 days which I think is a great time to write this list of goals and things I want to achieve.
If you could give any tips/suggestions on how to minimise dwelling on the past / comparing oneself to their old selves.
@@Mhmmpatrickman I relate to you. What I did to stop thinking about the past is look at my past self as a younger, stupid, naive but excited version of me. He was excited but he was young and dumb, and all the mistakes he made have only given you lessons you call wisdom now.
So look back at yourself like your 6 year old son, falling over himself even though you told him so many times, to slow down. You can’t be angry when he doesn’t listen - he’s a kid.
So i just say to myself “my younger self didnt know what he was doing, hr was exploring, its ok.”
@@theshepherdtaylan Thank you for the great advice. It actually makes so much sense to think of it like that. Now I know better and will continue to improve. Thanks for the help brother.
Great video mate, keep it up!
Thanks brother 🙏🙏
