be PRESENT, man

#meditation #presence #mindfulness
AFK: away from keyboard. the fact that most of us have been unaware of our surroundings for what could be our entire lives; away from where the real joy in life can be found: in the present moment.

Beautiful. So refreshing to see someone with similar thoughts like me, someone who is actually consciously living life. Ever since I discovered this "new way of living" I am so connected to myself and my surroundings. Isn't it an absolute miracle to be alive? On a floating rock in space? Just to taste an apple or to see and experience nature is so special and beautiful to me. Sometimes I tear up just because I realise how beautiful life is. This is how life is supposed to be. I realised that I can create and live exactly the life that I want. Also deleting social media completely half a year ago was so freeing and I honestly can't see myself going back ever. I wish there were more men like you in my country. So sad to see how humanity developed into an unconscious and "blind" society.

Man i never thought I’d ever find someone in my generation like me, we seriously alike, i think we’d be homies

[maarijahmed]

This is super relatable man. Life is much more fulfilling when you’re completely engaged with what you’re doing!!

I love how much this resonates with me. Steals the words right out of my mouth. Thank you for this video

I passed through this same thought, i called it "living in 3rd person", when you do your daily chores or whatever, and you aren't really conscious about what you are doing, its like you aren't even there, your body is working but your conscious mind isnt aware of anything happening. It happened to me when i was watching tons of useless videos on yt and then realized i am not controlling myself anymore, its really like a zombie, and unfortunately most people today are these kinds of zombies

This hit hard because my mom has almost never been present talking to me my entire life so far. I don’t comment this in a way that’s “oh feel sorry for me”, but because many people are not even heard by their families and you helped me realize that!

I don’t usually find such philosophical videos moving or inspiring but…this guy just made me rethink some parts of my life.The way I react to negativity for example.I just stare at something, trying not to feel anything, wanting to stay like this forever.I’ll try to be more conscious about that, and other more simple things too of course.
Thank you

[pinkdragon]

Im actually kind of grateful that I don’t have a voice in my head, I only have the „vibes“.It’s more difficult to be AFK when your mind is subtle …
Except in math class😅

I‘m going through a breakup right now and sometimes I have terrifying depersonalization episodes where i don‘t feel present in my own body. When it happens I try to go outside, just touch grass and trees, look at the sky, look at myself and touch myself, to remind me i‘m still here. Always makes me think about how I should keep up with that in my normal life. Not just when i feel depersonalized. Mentally i‘m always on another planet and I really dislike that about myself. So thank you for this video :))

Life has always been exiting and beautiful, but I’ve never really experienced what has been around me this whole time, it’s up to me to appreciate these so called little things in my life, to enjoy the air in my lungs and my feet on the grass, thank you for reminding me this, I love your content <33

[behrooz]

thank you dude, as someone whos basically been afk (depersonalized) for the past 3 years i realize for the very few times im “in tune” life becomes so beautiful, the air, the breeze, my surroundings, its just a whole new world and experience, i needed this man thank you, the mind is so
powerful

Has being present changed your life? How?

[JovanPlavsic-gy]

I had this realization two years ago and it completely changed my life.

[muna_]

literally everyone on this earth need to watch this ❤

Incredible, I’ve felt afk for a long time. This opened my eyes

I'm 16 myself, and for years I've just been, to put it bluntly, feeling like shit and stuck in my mind. But I think about all my past memories and how a lot of them are just hazy because I spent so much time in my head, I didn't even get to grasp that moment of feeling all these feelings and sensations. For example, I went to a Roger Waters concert back in september of 2022, and just thought about how my mom probably was judging the music, being nervous about what others thought about me while I was in line, why would I get so caught up in my mind about all that? You really open my mind up to certain things and you don't force people to get into a certain mindset, you lead people and allow them to take it all in only if they want to - showing them they can click off any time, that they can do anything with their own time. I thank you for your vids man, really a hidden gem of a channel.

[lemon_tea.]

A lot of your ideas about life are exactly the same yet so opposite from mine and I love it. I’m pretty introverted and get caught up in my head, always daydreaming about random things. It’s chill and kind of who I’ve always been, but it’s refreshing to have my beliefs challenged yet understood at the same time. Idk if that makes sense lmao

So beautiful.
You are intelligent))))
