It really DOES come down to sitting in silence and allowing ourselves to be bored so we can find deeper meaning. How simple yet difficult.

"The whole problem with being in a dopamine hole is that you're in a constant state of dissatisfaction. You're not chasing real pleasure- you're constantly numbing pain"

This video feels like it would be in a movie where all humanity's been possessed by social media and you're the last sane person trying to save the planet

What in hell allowed this man to not only provide excellent actionable steps to self heal but also deliver it with a quick cadence of speech absent of speech-fillers. To think clearly and speak articulately is a superpower, keep changing the world for the better Josh.

“you’re not chasing real pleasure, you’re constantly numbing pain.”

This is one sentence I’ll hold on to from this video. It’s 3am right now where I’m from and I was laying in bed just so down, so defeated, so drained, and came across this. I didn’t even have an intention to watch the full thing when I clicked on it.
A Godsend, truly. Subscribed

Dr K calls this the 1 hour challenge. We spend most of our waking hours on the phone, listening to music, etc. Basically you just stare at the wall for 1 hour with no background noise. The first 20 minutes is boredom but the next 40 minutes brings a lot of thoughts up and let’s us process what we’re hiding from in our minds daily. Our Brian’s are so not used to silence for prolonged periods of time that some people experience hallucinations or deeply emotional moments.

I hate that I am putting off watching this video because watching a 20 minute video has become a daunting task

You're only 23 yr old but you speak and give life knowledge like a 80+ year old mature person. Thank you for this.

there's such a rebellious energy in an apocalyptic way about this video that i really like

[AARONMICHAELFILM]

Last night, while neck deep in a dopamine hole, this video was suggested for me. I added to my “Watch Later”, and this was the first thing I watched this morning.

It’s crazy to look up and realize that I’m not 25 anymore — or 28… I’m 30 years old. Still dealing with the same issues I’ve been dealing with for the past decade. Fast dopamine, slow work.

As embarrassing as it is, I think it’s a good reminder to know that the system was made to work against us, therefore to be sucked into a state of depravity isn’t some misstep… It’s exactly where “they” want you to be. While there is responsibility to take, there is a small amount of shame that’s alleviated from knowing that I didn’t just place myself here… I sleep walked — and now it’s up to me to change course and start moving in the right direction before it’s too late.

Here’s to breaking free from the chains of mental bondage 🍻

"I will be free of any government that wants to control me, from any corporation that wants to monetize me, and any algorithm that wants to paralyze me."

You’re 23 years old yet so matured in thinking. Cant imagine how you’ll be at 40.

When addicts recover from drug or alcohol use they are told a few things, Pray and meditate, write down and reflect, Gratitude lists and to Call people every day. Time and time again this has proven to be a huge help for people struggling with all sorts of addictions. Sounds simple but it for some reason works. I feel this video perfectly encapsulates some of those practices that those who live in our current world that pushes those less talked about addictions need to navigate the world of today

You aren't just giving hours back to people, you're giving what feels like a heart-to-heart conversation trying to help people. I don't know you personally and you don't know me. But you helped me and many many others (shed a tear when you paused and elaborated on our desire to be satisfied not being a bad thing) and for that I'm truly grateful.
