    I exercise twice a day because I’m a sensitive and emotional person. Movement and meditation changed everything. Hardly any anxiety or depression these days.

      YES! Meditation and movement have done the same for me! I'm super sensitive and I used to have an emotional default of mild depression. I almost never experience depression, anxiety, sadness or even anger. I'm almost always feeling good

      That’s inspirational. I imagine those would heal most of my physical or psychological wounds, with consistent daily practice of both activities. But I have suspected as much for years, and have yet to achieve that habit pattern to be able to relieve my own suffering (of which I think I have too much). I hope to grow enough or find enough resolve to be able to do what you have, and to experience a better life, so that my life can be more meaningful and fulfilling for me, and so that I can give more to the world around me, and be my best self for others.

    Tom I am afraid, in a good way, of who you are going to become and what you are going to do 5-10 years from now. Every discussion/interview you have, you are always leaning in & learning. A couple of weeks ago I just started making it a habit to watch and take notes on one Impact Theory video a day. It has drastically improved my life my friend. I admire your hunger to continue to grow. Thank you for inviting me on this growth journey with you brother!

      The flip side of "achievement" consciousness: He is likely never satisfied, and although has a smile pasted on his face, liekly rarely feels like he's "got there" and as such is always in a state of feeling inadequate.
      It's still preferable to its opposite, but remember the grass is always greener, until you move past the concept that it was ever about the grass, it was always just you.

    I’ve noticed that other kind of exercise high. I’m overweight and I’ve started working out regularly. I’m normally very quiet and introverted and I’ve noticed my voice is projecting louder, clearer, and people seem to understand me easier. The social anxiety has gone way down.It’s a side effect I wasn’t expecting but it’s really awesome.

  • @penelopefp
    @penelopefp 3 роки тому +10

    This was the impact I needed. 20 years ago I was super healthy, taught fitness classes and worked out hard, but I hated myself and my self talk was loathing. Met my spouse, moved across the country, new job, got busy, totally quit working out, had kids, body changed. And along the way found a wonderful new self loving me. I know I need exercise for my mind and body. But I have such a negative association with how I used to exercise and how I perceived my self. This spoke to me in just the right words, to find the exercise I love, that speaks to my emotional and physical needs, and reinforces the joy I now embrace. I will be watching this on replay for a couple days!! GREAT conversation to both of you. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!

    I was 104 kg depressed And miserable had been for years. I started Martial arts and weightlifting on a daily basis six days a week. Wow the difference is amazing. It took time but slowly i’m feeling better and better now days I’m 81 kg building up muscle and toning up. I’ve stopped antidepressants since also. the feeling of strength, courage, self-worth, self-love and power within myself is just fucking amazing. I’m strong I can do anything.

    • @mandywright7545
      @mandywright7545 4 роки тому +5

      Well done, Sabrina. If you can manage your depression and anxiety via exercise your whole body will benefit. Don't listen to naysayers who tell you not to exercise or run because it damages your body. I'm fifty eight and have run my whole life and I've got the strongest bones and muscles of a much younger person. Many people who have tried to dissuade me from running over they years have developed other medical conditions associated with lack of exercise e.g mental health issues, heart disease, diabetes, cancer. It definitely helps my mental state...trust your own instincts and if in doubt get medical advice.

    • @sabrinavoth959
      @sabrinavoth959 4 роки тому +1

      Micah Wilson I have tried it. Doctors who will prescribe you medication before asking about your diet, activity level, and over all situation are just glorified drug dealers. Being mindful of my diet, exercise and self care has made more difference than anything. Running can be bad for your knees, but I don’t run. I do yoga, jiu jitsu, and weightlifting.

    I am on the Euphoric end, so much so, that it can bring me to tears at times of peak movement. It's this "rush" that i get, that keep me active and moving. I thrive through movement, I feel as if I come to life the moment my foot touches the ground and my heart rate increases in the slightest... TOTAL WORKOUT EUPHORIA JUNKIE right here! The Euphoria I get also boosts my mood and mental health natural, and my overall sense of joy and peace within myself and around me! I love walking, hiking, aerobics, and biking ... all freedom based movements! I am free and alive!

      Of course, I agree with the whole thing about exercise and movement, but one thing stuck out like a sore thumb, you know. The part where she said that she gets headaches when she indulges herself in her favourite activities. I mean, isn't exercise a way of eliminating those pitfalls and insulating yourself from such problems? I could be wrong, but may be she has resigned to the fact that the headaches will come.

    If you run but have never experienced a "runner's high," try this: Go for your run, and then SIT for even 5 minutes after you finish. Usually we're onto the next thing so quickly, but the times I have had the strongest runners is when I had a car ride after my run and was forced to just be still for a moment. Try it and see if that works.

    Acceptance is key. Without acceptance, there will be suffering. She is right that accepting her pain makes it to were she doesn't suffer however if she wants to rid herself of pain she should not limit her beliefs to be that "this is just the way it is". I had knee surgery last year and I was taking pain killers and still in huge amount of pain. I didn't want to take the pain killers and so I stopped and I had a moment of extreme pain to the point of tears. In the moment I decided I'm not going to pop a pill and I started repeating "I am pain free" for a minute straight and my pain went away. It didn't not come back for about 6 months! When it returned I repeated "I am pain free" and it went away again. I use this mantra when I have a headache or just workout to hard and my body hurts and the pain subsides. Acceptance is key and the lady in the interview has accepted that pain is just a part of her life but what she should accept is that her body and mind is capable of so much more.

    I think Kelly really have made a good point thar we don't have to compete with others and we just need to know we make something good for the world and have value in doing so. I think ithis idea radically changed my mind of success. I don't really have to compare my success with scale defined by some magazines or books. The success is determined every day by me and my value can improve constantly so my definition of success is too changing constantly too. But one thing for sure is success means I am different from my previous self. I have better habits and I become a better person and my life becomes more meaningful. Thank u Kelly and Tom for this amazing talk, it has been a really wonderful and remarkable experience to listen all the points and ideas you two have made. Simply Brillant 💯💯💯

    What you do with your body is just as important as what you put into it... in maintaining a "healthy level of movement," one develops a healthy approach to consumption, where instincts become far more identifiable and beneficial. The well-being that builds from balanced movement trumps the need for consumption-based satisfaction, such as food, painkillers, alcohol, drugs etc.

    Dear Mr Bilyeu and Ms McGonical, Thank you Mr Bilyeu for your years-in-advance take on life on so many issues. You have talked with the greats of thinking and shared with us your feedback. Every time I watch a videocast I take away something for my treasure chest. If I could offer Ms McGonical a solution for her pain dilemma, I would say this: listen to your body. Your body is trying to get through to you when you have pain. Next time it happens, if possible, step back from what you are doing and close your eyes and ask yourself: What are you trying to tell me? It may be that your body is trying to get you to do things differently. It’s what I do and it seems to work. If I set out to jog and my right knee starts acting up, I know now that I have to stop and go back home and not run. Because if I do my body will deliver the hormones to cover the pain after 45 minutes or so, but then when I get back I won’t be able to run for days or even a few weeks. But; if I listen to my body, and cancel the running, sometimes the next day I can run with no side effects. Our bodymind is real, but we are all hooked up with our own wiring, so I realize my advice might just be for my meat suit!
