This video is being sent to my therapist. This puts my thoughts together into words. Thank you!

Remove expectations and replace them with desires is a shortcut to changing your personality.

Basically, stop trying to change the world and try to change how you feel about it. Its actually at the core of many therapy techniques I think. It also helps.

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "draw your own conclusions". Great advice.

Feel like my mind relaxed when you said that. Thanks for the perspective change Dr. K!

Man. If you think you can't be okay until someone else changes, you'll be unhappy forever. Really understanding that was a game changer for me.

[danteghazizadeh]

Exactly. Mindset is everything. It dictates every single action that you take. If you want to change your personality, change your mindset.

[fufu]

I think just a slightly better rephrasing of the key idea:
We don't realize we spend so much energy on things we don't impact, for example things involving others. So we don't focus or spend that energy on our selves, our conclusions.
So we don't spend the time being aware of this whole other circuit, of (something like the?) ego (or ego + others?), and so it ends up being a meh random reaction, to what could otherwise be aligned to your actual realizations of life are - your conclusions. (?)

Never underestimate the human need for a good narrative. Sometimes you need to make your own.

Basically CBT! Change the way you think about things.

I'd love to have a couple of real world examples.

If you focus on what you want to want - it’s a free will path.

This is similar to CBT for personality

My personality is fine. I just hate my habits and ADHD but I’m working on it.

[margaretcampbell]

I had somatic therapy which changed my perspective
